Duplicate tracks added to library after pluging in ipod

[David A Knight]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

1) plug ipod in
2) rhythmbox autostarts in response
3) tracks from the ipod were automatically added to the library

The tracks on the ipod are the exact same ones that are already in my library which is pointing at ~/Music.

The ipod tracks in the library are listed as being from a folder in /tmp

Upon ejecting the ipod the extra tracks disappear.

The ipod tracks should not appear in the library at all, they are on a device, not in the library (ignoring the fact they are the exact same files transfered to the ipod!)

This is with Hardy 0.11.4-0ubuntu6

Thanks for your report, the tracks of your iPod should appear under the ipod icon on the left side panel, maybe you have something else set on your rhythmbox configuration that makes your files appear under the Music library, may you tell us if that's reproducible with a totally new user created on your system and if so, steps on how to reproduce it? thanks.

They do still apear under the ipod devices section, they were just added to the library as well. ejecting the ipod they were removed from the library. Replugging the ipod again an import starts to occur, getting import errors on ArtworkDB and ITunesDB but the tracks do not appear.

The configuration of rhythmbox hasn't been changed since my ipod was last plugged in. The ipod has been connected to a windows system, but itunes was not run.

With a new user (with an empty library an the library pointing at an empty folder) an import appears to try to take place. I ended up with 2 tracks, both the same one in the library + the tracks as normal on the ipod device.

This may not be a rythmbox problem directly. I just noticed I have another device under computer with an ipod icon called ipodZx6sdg, as well as the usual ipod drive so it could be a hal thing.

(Of course the tracks didn't reappear repluggin as mentioned above because they were listed in missing files already)

Confirmed with hardy alpha 5 and rhythmbox 0.11.4. When an ipod is plugged in, rhythmbox opens and adds the ipod's tracks to my library. They stay there until the ipod is ejected, after which the tracks go into the "missing files" section. The same behavior is present with a new user account on this computer. iPod has not been connected to windows. This is the only computer (and OS) to which my ipod has been connected for months.

Probably important to mention is the fact that this behavior only started today after a sudo aptitude upgrade.

when pasting tracks from hard drive to ipod, it happens that several tracks could get the, selves duplicated on the portable device

skimat: That would be a different bug. This has been fixed upstream.
