Re: Rhythmbox not writing playlist to iPod

I plug the iPod back in, and Rhythmbox acts like they're there - I can even play the Playlist from the iPod in Rhythmbox.
Is there something I need to do to "write" the Playlist to the iPod from Rhythmbox? It is so irritating to have to create an "on the go" playlist on the iPod and then fire up Rhythmbox and rename it what i want it to be...
or is this a common bug?
Wow man, I have to admit that's a pretty good technique for dealing with the issue, even though it's far from desirable. What interests me most is that you've got the On-The-Go playlist functionality working on your iPod. Do you mind if I ask which model of iPod you have and whether it was formatted in Mac OS X or Windows? I haven't tried syncing my iPod with the newest release of Banshee yet, but Banshee is pretty good since it has autosync. Unfortunately, I just was not able to get my On-The-Go function working when using Banshee to sync. Thus I am back at square one, only booting into Mac OS X to sync my iPod (Classic 80 GB).
