can't create playlist on iPod in Rhythmbox 2.96 on Precise 12.04 beta 2

[cometdog]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect iPod Photo via USB
2. Click on the iPod Photo in the Devices list in Nautilus, in order to mount it (not sure why it is not mounted automatically).
3. Open Rhythmbox.
4. Right-click on iPod Photo in the Rhythmbox side pane under Devices and choose "New Playlist."
5. Drag songs from iPod Photo into new playlist.

At this point a playlist appears to be there. If I choose "sync with library" then the playlist disappears from the Rhythmbox side pane. If, instead, I eject the iPod (and unmount it in Nautilus as well, since ejecting from Rhythmbox didn't make it unmount for me), then disconnect, I can see the new playlist on the iPod but it is completely empty.

Expected behavior:
I create the playlist in Rhythmbox and it is immediately created on the iPod, and can be found on the iPod after the iPod has been disconnected.

It's possible this isn't getting any traffic because of the bug #496681.

I believe this is different because that one was marked fixed in Rhythmbox upstream in 2010. I chose that #496681 affected me also (because I can't tell for sure what the issue is from a user perspective) but I'm concerned that one won't get any traction as it has supposedly been taken care of...

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Please solve this.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. 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. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
