Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I used Rhythmbox to transfer the contents of my iPod to my local drive, by dragging all songs to the Music icon. The files transfer well, and Ubuntu is smart enough to know what kind of file they are. However, as the extension (.mp3, .ogg etc) is not copied over, when transferring songs to another device (in this case, an HTC Desire, also using rhythmbox), the device is confused by a lack of extension.

Also, transferring songs directly from the iPod to the HTC Desire (all done in Rhythmbox), works correctly.
