For me, it syncs all music and movies just fine... but when I drag a playlist to the device in banshee, the songs move over, but the palylist does not appear in the iPod. Is this a feature to be or am I just not using it right? Hi,

I moved a lot of music from one disk to another and am now stuck with duplicate entries where one entry doesn't exist. Banshee _needs_ to regularly check if all files still are valid. If that's impossible then at least a button somewhere to manually rescan all imported folders. Thanks for all your hard work, Erik The biggest showstopper for me right now is that I still haven’t found a way to resolve inconsistencies between the banshee database and the folder with my music in it.

You need to set the Album Artist tag in your tracks. Select the songs that are part of the various/compilation album, right click the selection and open the track editor. Set the Album Artist tag to "Various" or whatever is fitting, and synchronize (there's a little copy button next to the text entry) that value across all tracks in the selection. Then save. @tim: read my response to MÃ¥rten. You need to set the Album Artist tag in your tracks.

Looking forward to future releases and what they might hold, telepathy integration would be interesting and maybe conduit integration now that it has been blessed as an external dependency for 2.24. Anyways great work. If your ever in Ireland I will buy you a beer :D Good work, this was a solid release, I especially love the ability to drag and drop albums as I always leave syncing the ipod to the last minute and having to click on the album and then a track and then select all every time got a bit tedious.

If you have properly tagged your collection (which you can do in our track editor), the <a href="http://banshee-project.org/download/archives/1.2.0/" rel="nofollow">1.2.0 release added album-artist sorting for various/compilation albums</a>. That is, you need to have the album-artist tag set, not just the track-artist tag set. @MÃ¥rten: actually, no.
