[weekly report] Week 11: Rhythmbox iPod/MTP Syncing

[Paul A Bellamy <paul a bellamy gmail com>]

Hi all,
   This previous week, I have been working on syncing playlists to the 
device.  Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit more complicated than 
I had anticipated.  Primarily, because the Playlists and Tracks need to 
be transferred seperately (due to the many-to-many relationship between 
them). Therefore, there needs to be a way to generate a (location 
independent) UUID for each track, so that tracks on the device can be 
correlated to devices in the library.  I did add the track_uuid 
function, to start with that.  Unfortunately, I ran out of time to 
finish that.  I may revisit it at a later date, because I consider 
syncing playlists to be an important capability. 
   This week I will be working on throughly testing, debugging, and 
cleaning up the code for final submission.  I will be doing some 
stress-testing.  I am also hoping to put in the final UI touches that 
need implementing ('sync all' options).
   It has been great working on Rhythmbox.  You've all been very 
helpful, and supportive.  I would love to continue contributing to 
Rhythmbox.

Thanks again,
Paul
