Dear Pedro,

Thank you for replying to me. As you have probably guessed I am new to
Ubuntu and in fact Linux. Up until 4 weeks ago I have only ever used
Windows and IBM As400's. I have never logged a bug for an open source
operating system before but I have logged plenty for proprietary systems
like the AS400. Being new to Linux and the fact that it is all
unfamiliar and new I am a little lost when it comes to finding out
details to help with solving Ubuntu problems.

Since logging the bug I have been reading the Ubuntu formus and
searching through Google and have since discovered quite a few things
about iPods and Ububtu. One thing I discovered was that my iPod was
mounted read-only which was I know was causing Rhythmbox to do all sorts
of strange things and basically not work as I would have expected.

The mp3 files I found with extra 6 characters after .mp3 as it turned
out were duplicates of the real mp3 files in some folders in my library.
I deleted these mp3xxxxxx files and reloaded Rhythmbox and all was ok.
And I haven't had a problem since then.

Yours Sincerely,

Rod Singleton

Melbourne, Australia

PS. By the way I think Ubuntu is my new passion and I love it.
