Unable to usefully transfer files to walkman

[Nick Phillips]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When using Rhythmbox to transfer files to a Sony Walkman (NWZ-A728, with firmware 1.03) using USB Mass Storage (not MTP), files created on walkman all have ID3v2.4 tags -- these are useless to the Walkman.

Some interface to allow specification of the version of ID3 tag to create is needed (and obviously the capability to create the correct version) - otherwise I have to use kid3 to convert tags from id3v2.4 to id3v2.3 (which does work).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Rhythmbox is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.

Bug still present.

Same here. Using Maverick and Rhythmbox 0.13.1. My Sony Walkman can't read ID3v2.4 tags but if I convert to v2.3 (with kid3 too), reads them correctly, album cover included.

Expired?! I don't think so...

There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.
