Work around

It looks like this might actually be a bug in the Rhythmbox iPod support plugin. At least, if I disable the iPod plugin, it doesn't crash or segfault.

It *DOES* become nearly unresponsive for about 3 minutes while the iPod is scanned for music files. Once the scan is completed, it returns to a responsive useful state and I can even transfer music to it.

It seems to have the same behavior if you plugin the iPod and then start Rhythmbox or plug in the iPod with Rhythmbox already running.

It didn't matter if the .is_audio_player file was present or not, it worked either way. With the .is_audio_player file present, it did respect the designated Music directory (YAY!).

While I wish I could keep iPod support enabled without segfaults (for the wife's iPod), this at least makes it usable!
