Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
When I attach my iPod and drag an AAC song to it on Rhythmbox, it transfers very slowly and with high CPU usage, as if it were transcoding the file. I confirmed that the file transferred to the iPod was different from the original stored in my music library folder using md5 sums, and also listened to the song on my computer from the iPod's drive. The song sounded pretty bad. When the iPod was ejected and disconnected, the songs wouldn't play at all... the total time indicator showed the correct time for a moment, but it would instantly go to the next song without playing at all.

I've noticed this. Rhythmbox transcodes my m4a files to mp3 when moving it to an ipod. I'd really like to just *copy* my m4a files to my ipod. They don't need to be transcoded to mp3.
