[Rhythmbox-devel] ipod shuffle

[Jonty Pearson <jontyp gmail com>]

Hi,

I have an ipod shuffle (1 GB model) and found, like others in bug
#386662, that rhythmbox would add the tracks to the device but they
wouldn't be playable upon unplugging.  From what I can tell, it appears
that the shuffle needs both iTunesDB and iTunesSD files writing; as far
as I can tell, rhythmbox only writes iTunesDB.  The attached patch is
one way of fixing this but I have no idea if it's suitable - perhaps
someone else with more knowledge of rhythbox internals could comment?

Thanks,

Jonty.
