Can't transfer music to external device

[Jan Heitkötter]

I've got an SD card with an .is_audio_player file on it. Rhythmbox shows the SD card in the "devices" tab. However, dragging music files there will make Rhythmbox crash.

(rhythmbox:7911): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_suffix: assertion `str != NULL' failed

(rhythmbox:7911): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: construct property "encoding-target" for object `RBTrackTransferBatch' can't be set after construction
Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

It fails in 12.10 (amd64) and 13.04 (amd64) while working fine on my laptop running 12.04 LTS (i386).

Workaround / temp fix:

Use rhythmbox from gnome3 ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-raring.list

I tried the fix offered in #45 but there are no menus in this version of rhythembox so I am unable to do anything at all. Right clicking on the device also does not offer any options.
