I have never had success with rhythmbox transferring album art (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144809) to my iPod (5.5 gen video). Just stumbled upon this update and grabbed it immediately. But still no luck. Anyone tried it? Does it sync album art to your iPod as noted in the change log.
