Rhythmbox crash when connecting/sync with iPod

in the case you see the error below:

** (rhythmbox:35015): CRITICAL **: 13:28:51.141: playlist_track_removed: assertion 'track != NULL' failed

 

there is "some" fix , delete the ipod sync config file from ' .local/share/rhythmbox/sync '  YMMV

fix ID3 on mass mp3s

both my ipods - hacked to RockBox started to freak up and stop on multiple mp3s , the error ? something like ?kbps - (noID3)

the solution: strip any ID3 - eg via DeadBeef - and convert to v.2.3

via eyeD3

(NO DO NOT strip other vers of ID3 using eyeD3 as it will del the v2 as well!

eyeD3  --to-v2.3 *.mp3
