Bug Description

Binary package hint: migration-assistant

I believe a key feature for the Migration Assistant would be to copy over and convert several iTunes playlists and load them into Rythmbox (the default player in Ubuntu).

Then possibly load and set the music library in Rhythmbox, give it a path to the new user's music library.

Here is a article on ripping iTunes' XML playlist in python: http://www.robertprice.co.uk/robblog/archive/2007/4/Python_XML_and_iTunes.shtml

Here is the only code I could find: http://code.google.com/p/itunes-to-rhythmbox-ratings/

Confirming, but as far as I know Migration Assistent was dropped in Ubuntu 12.10.
