I recently tried using Banshee 1.7.4 again, since 1.6.2 or something to
that effect. I also attempted to sync my 80GB iPod Classic with it as
well. The problem I ran into was that I ended with an "other" section
that ate all the free space on my device. I remember there being a bug
in earlier versions of Banshee with the artwork - I didn't delve to
deeply into what was going on in this instance and due to time
constraints I went back to gtkpod to manage my ipod.
Has the issue with bloated artwork dbs been resolved as well? I know it
had to do with the underlying toolkit that Banshee was using, so perhaps
the movement to libgpod has resolved this.
Thanks
Daniel
