This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report. Thanks in advance!

apport information

Tracks synced to android device (Samsun Vibrant) won't play too. Rhythmbox upload files to device without extension. After upload all files looks like "some filename" but not a "some filename.mp3". But sometimes files with ".ogg" extension syncs just fine with extension.

Same problem on x64 Ubuntu 10.10

Same problem here. With Amarok I can sync and play tracks in Ipod normally. Tracks added before upgrade to maverick plays too.

more likely a problem with libmobiledevice or whatever lib is used to communicate with smartphones.

config: latest 10.10 amd64 as of today+ppa pa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/
iphone 3GS iOS4.1
rhythmbox re-installed

-no issue with gtkpod : songs are synced with .mp3 extension and then can be played
-with same song in rhythmbox file is synced on iphone *without* the mp3 at the end
only the final dot is here. song can't be played from the iphone but start from rhythmbox

by directly renaming the file on the iphone adding proper extension, it then run ok

I haven't seen this bug before opening another one about this issue. Maybe you could collect more info from Rhythmbox log while transferring tracks to iPod. A simple copy and paste from terminal is here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/668336/comments/2

Same here with ubuntu 10.10 64bit, preinstalled rhythmbox and iphone 3GS with iOS 3.1.3.

Same here with iPod Classic and Rhythmbox. Tracks work OK when gtkpod is used to copy them. Never had this issue on 10.04, and also this was working fine on 10.10 until one of the recent updates, although I can't remember which or when.

Same problem; ipod nano, ubuntu 10.10 updated today

I ran rhythm box form the console, transferred some music to the ipod and then right-clicked eject. The messages below came on the console. Not sure if its a problem or not......

Derek,

Were you able to play the music you transferred to ipod? If you were
able to play the music and have this error only on ejecting then you
should probably open another bug report.

Thanks.

I guess the problem is at Rhythmbox. I could listen to songs uploaded
to my iPod touch 3g using banshee media player without problem...

Syncing Rhythmbox to my Android phone fails as well. Files do not recognize as media on my device. Possible file corruption?

This bug has already been fixed upstream, see the upstream bug for further details.
Also, the fix has been released in rhythmbox 0.13.2, see http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/rhythmbox/0.13/rhythmbox-0.13.2.news

Didier, do you think you could backport that commit?

Didier, I can't find any rhythmbox 0.13.1-0ubuntu6 in proposed...

That's normal, archives are frozen right now in -proposed. You will see a message there once it is accepted.

Accepted rhythmbox into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

It's now working for me, was able to transfer songs to my jailbroken iphone 3gs with 3.1.2 firmware.

excellent work guys, thanks a bunch!

When is the fix going to be in the official repositories?

Sorry, got it from -proposed.

Fix doesn't work for me. (Ipod 5.Gen Nano)

Rythmbox shows the Song/Podcast on my Ipod but the Ipod still says 0 Tracks.
Do I have to submit a new Bug report?

Michael: I think you should opened a separate bug report stating that on other device you still have that issue.

Michael: the issue was rhythmbox related (i.e. not related to libraries actually performing the sync), check using gtkpod or bashee

This bug was fixed in the package rhythmbox - 0.13.1-0ubuntu6

---------------
rhythmbox (0.13.1-0ubuntu6) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/92_git_add_hardcoded_extensions_for_common_media_types.patch:
    backport from upstream, add a fallback system to rename files accordingly to
    what the device is expecting even if the right encoder isn't installed
