Bug Description
The "Music, Videos and Photos" document states:
"Using an iPod"
"You can *play* music files directly off an iPod…
To transfer music files to and from an iPod you can use gtkpod…"
We are told that rhythmbox supports drag and drop ipod writing.

I'm trying to file a separate bug for Rhythmbox docs, but Launchpad won't let me. It returns simply "There is 1 error." with no indication what that error is. So...
Package: rhythmbox_ 0.11.2- 0ubuntu4, rhythmbox_ 0.11.5- 0ubuntu4
Steps to reproduce:
1) Launch Rhythmbox
2) Hit F1 for help
3) Select "Portable Audio Player Source" from the navigation list on the right
4) Read incorrect docs (emphasis mine):
"At this time RB can only *read* information but cannot write..."
The docs are the same in both Hardy beta and Gutsy. Yet I just updated my old shuffle by simply dragging and dropping the songs onto the iPod icon in Rhythmbox (0.11.2 in Gutsy), where it very happily and quickly did just what I wanted.
