Comment 4 for bug 126136

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