Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I managed to transfer songs from my collection to my ipod shuffle using the context menu on the collection browser. (That took me some time to find out how to do it though...) However, my usual preference, is to create a playlist using various criterias, and when I am satisfied I transfer it to the ipod. I used to do it with Amarok 1.x but this is not possible with Amarok 2. Would it be possible to include this in the next version. Either using a copy/move action to the playlist's context menu, or by dragging the files to the ipod.
Amarok 2.4-GIT, kubuntu 10.10 Amarok looks like it has capability of copying playlist directly to device. However, doesn't seem to function with iPod devices. The drag icon changes into a slashy circle when attempting to copy playlist to media device in the collection pane. Able to copy tracks from the playlist to local file system in dolphin. Just not to iPod.
Thanks for testing.
I just came from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266899, which tracked a related issue. I tested amarok 2.4.1 and I could not save a playlist to my ipod. The save playlist button _does_ offer the option to save to a media device if my ipod is connected (and mounted). However, nothing happens when I select this option. As a user, I would expect the following to happen when clicking the save playlist to media device button: * A new playlist is saved to the itunesdb. * The tracks in the playlist that are not on the ipod are copied to the ipod and the ipod's itunesdb. Incidentally, I wonder whether the severity should be wishlist or normal, since the user interface indeed suggests that the feature of saving a playlist to an ipod exists.
P.S., I have an 8GB ipod nano, not a shuffle.
It is a wish since that feature has never been implemented in the Amarok 2.x series.
Is this feature on anyone's todo-list right now? Is there anyone who might need beta-testers? Because I could certainly oblige. Unfortunately, I cannot code myself. I did try to read the code, and it seemed as if a lot of the basics are already there...
It certainly is on the ToDo list, but the main problem for the developers is a lack of time.
So would another 250 euro donation to the Amarok fund help create more time? Or is bug squash sponsoring 'not done'?
That is definitely something you should ask on amarok-devel@kde.org, maybe it helps :)
Okay I put out a bug bounty of 250 euro to amarok-dev@kde.org

I've tested it and it crashes in some situations, see bug 275219.
