Description manu.wagner 2010-12-12 21:12:18 UTC 
Version:           2.3.90 (2.4 beta 1)
OS:                Linux

I compiled amarok 2.4 beta1 and tracks can not be copied to my 3g ipod touch anymore.
It is mounted & detected properly (many problems solved on amarok forum : installing the latest libimobiledevice lib & reverting libmtp)though
This used to work on my other local git backup version so I guess a regression was introduced with 2.4 beta1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Mount your ipod touch
Transfer tracks from amarok
Nothing ever happens : new tracks will not appear on the itouch

Marking as release blocker as this is clearly a regression.
Comment 2 Sergey Ivanov 2011-01-09 10:29:08 UTC 
Does transferring precess go smooth? Or it doesn't even get started? Any strange behavior or messages during the transfer? Could you run amarok in debug mode ($amarok -d --nofork) and post debug log when you copying tracks to iPod? 
My iPod Shuffle works good.
Comment 3 Ralf Engels 2011-01-09 19:06:10 UTC 
It works for my (non-touch) ipod.

Can anyone confirm this?
Comment 4 manu.wagner 2011-01-09 20:40:59 UTC 
Some improvements...
I tried again with today's git, it does transfere music to my itouch now, but covers are missing.
Comment 5 Sergey Ivanov 2011-01-10 07:17:06 UTC 
Setting album covers for iPod collection is disabled, because of crashes (for a better times).
Bug closed.
Comment 6 manu.wagner 2011-01-10 10:47:41 UTC 
Has anyone opened a bugreport on the missing album covers ?
I can't believe this is a "feature".
Most users definitely WANT their album covers in the ipod !
Removing covers for performance reason is not an option.
