[Banshee-List] Exporting playlist to iPod, flac to mp3, file size problem

[lister171254 <llsubscr zudiewiener com>]

I'm running version 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11 and found a problem similar to a
problem reported (and solved) in 2009.

I have a playlist of FLAC songs that I'm trying to sync to an iPod.  They
are correctly the converted to MP3, as per the iPod "Device Properties", and
the converted files appear correctly in the iPod's file system, with
reasonable files sizes (generally 3-8 MB). However, the syncing process
stops prematurely when the iPod gets "full" after about 300 songs. 

The iPod capacity graphic is all blue, indicating a full iPod, and Banshee
refuses to add additional songs to it.  The capacity of the iPod is 4GB so
with an average size of the converted songs, I should only have about 1.8GB. 

If I disconnect and reconnect the iPod to Banshee it reports correctly that
the iPod is less than 50% full.

Thanks
