Bug#527014: Rhythmbox asks to overwrite files during transfer to iPod

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.0-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

It seems that when copying songs to an iPod, Rhythmbox truncates
filenames in a way that will often make songs in the same record clash
when copied. This will result in Rhythmbox asking you to overwrite songs
when copying to it, which is obviously non-intuitive, specially in cases
like mine (brand new iPod, initialized by Rhythmbox itself).

This bug is also on Launchpad and GNOME's bugzilla:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/312902

Upstream suggests the following patch (from the bug history):

Best regards,
