Version: 2.3.0 (using 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1), Arch Linux) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-ARCH When plug in my iPod (nano, 3G), I attempt to use the filesystem browser (in the "Media Sources" panel) to copy tracks to it from my hard drive. The songs in my collection are FLAC files, so I select equivalent MP3 files that I have converted previously. These do not belong to my collection, in order to avoid duplicates. When I select "Copy to Collection > iPod", the tracks are indeed copied to the iPod: however, all the ID3 tag information of the copies is lost (as well as the song length -- not sure whether that falls under the same category), rendering the iPod collection unmanageable. I am using Amarok 2.3.0.
Amarok 2.4-GIT, kubuntu 10.10.iPod Nano 3G. Repeated Mr. Dent's actions with similar results. Disagree with diagnosis. Tracks properly copied to device, however, cannot see the tracks through the iPod UI in *Song List*. Do see copied songs in *Movie List* When I plug my iPod back into Amarok the tracks can be seen and all tags are present. The track count on iPod is incorrect as it's not seeing the track copied off Amarok in song list. Is it possible that Amarok is not updating the on-device song list/database? Ipod Nano 2G. Repeated Mr. Dent's actions with no issues. Song properly copied. Tags still present. Song visible in both iPod song UI and Amarok UI.
Thank you for testing.

Can help testing, i have an iPod Shuffle 2nd generation. Thanks.
I will look at this guys, please be patient until I find time to do so.
Created attachment 66605 [details] 0001-media-device-collection-more-consistent-handling-of-.patch Reporters, please try this patch (shloud apply on top of 2.5 beta or 2.5 final) and report back whether it worked. This is rather bigger change, so it may not make it into 2.5, but let's see.
Also, if the songs you tranfer to iPod end up in Videos on iPod, you may be hitting bug 268238. (relates to .m4a files)
Git commit a8f1da1af7f3c3e2c2f99141ddb15e9dfa203932 by Matěj Laitl. Committed on 10/12/2011 at 15:27. Pushed by laitl into branch 'strohel-for-2.6'. media device collection: more consistent handling of compilations This makes handling of compilation albums consistent across: * Amarok collection * iPod viewed in Amarok * iPod viewed on itself The code used to determine best guess album artist in ScanResultProcessor was factored into ArtistHelper for reusability, ArtistHelper is now exported in amaroklib. This should definitely fix bug 232072.
