Bug Description

Binary package hint: banshee

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and each time i try to erase songs from my iPod, it starts and finishes without any problems. When i check my iPod, all the music is still there but the files are erased. I know that when i go to play a song, the player on my iPod crashes. I use an iPod touch 4G not jailbroken running iOS 4.3.2. This tells me that it erased the songs but didn't properly update the iPod's database.

I ran it in terminal and got this when it was writing the database.

I have the same error message on Ubuntu 11.04 with Banshee 2.0 syncing with iPod 4G IOS4. The error occurs *after* the transfer of files to the iPod, at the moment of "writing media database". Afterwards, nothing has (visibly) changed on the iPod. :-(
