Comment 3 for bug 992815

I tried to use Banshee as a workaround. If I deleted multiple files then Banshee also crashed. If I deleted files singly then it seemed to work, but when I "disconnected" (which triggers a Banshee sync to iPod) I found that my iPod content has vanished according to the iPod GUI, but on reconnection they were still listed in Banshee. Resyncing with Rhythmbox recovered access but again with the N duplicate copy issue.

I don't know if this is two independent bugs. But my main point here is there isn't a workaround to this problem, and repeatedly plugging an iPod into Rhythmbox, means that you have to do a full factory software restore to bring the system back to a usable state.
