Rhythmbox "bricks" my music player (Cowon J3)

Whenever I try to transfer tracks to my MP3 player (a Cowon J3) with Rhythmbox, my player ends up bricked.
I configured this MP3 player to use the mass storage protocol (MSC, not MTP).

1) I connect the MP3 player to the computer : it mounts as usual
2) I start Rhythmbox, Rhythmbox detects the MP3 player normally
3) I try to transfer (drag and drop) a few tracks to the MP3 player : Rhythmbox shows a porgress bar in the status bar, then stops
4) Still in Rhythmbox, if I click on "Cowon J3" list item (left pane), it shows the tracks on the MP3player
5) I eject the player : Ubuntu throws me a "write error", the player is unmounted.

6) If itry to reconnect it, nothing can be written again on the disk, rhythmbox (even after a restart) doesn't write anything on it after drag and drop, nautilus shows write errors. Some files appear with odd signs in their names, the file system switches to read only if i try to move or delete files, it globally seems corrupt. The MP3 player OS refuses to play transfered tracks.

7) I cannot format the player, disks utility complains (error message "the disk stopped responding after initial wipe").

After that, i have to format (FAT32, MBR) the MP3 player in Precise (Ubuntu 12.04) to get it working again. It works perfectly fine in Ubuntu 12.04, Rhythmbox or Nautilus transfers work fine, I can move and delete files. So I'm absolutely sure there is nothing wrong with this MP3 player. But somehow, Ubuntu 12.10 corrupts its file system when i try USB tranfers.

Could anyone confirm this with another similar device ?
