After upgrading to 13.04 Rhythmbox crashes, when trying to sync with a MP3 player and removes files from player

[Steve Klecanda]

Upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10LTS to 13.04 Raring ringtail. After upgrading, Rhythmbox keeps crashing, after connecting my MP3 player and clicking the SYNC button. Everytime Rythmbox craches, it has removed music files from different folders on my MP3 player. All files remain untouched on Rhthmbox. No errors or pop-up boxes appear. I can purchase music from Ubuntu one and it automatically installs onto Rythmbox, but No new music will install onto the MP3 player. Some of the files removed from Rythmbox were downloaded to the MP3 player over a year ago.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I tried launching from command line, to see debugging output.

As soon as I click on my usb device following message appears on console:
(rhythmbox:24381): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_suffix: assertion `str != NULL' failed

Rhythmbox is still functional. Selecting a playlist for syncing makes the application close itself and the following message to appear:

(rhythmbox:24381): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: construct property "encoding-target" for object `RBTrackTransferBatch' can't be set after construction

Then, it coredumps.
