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

(DO NOT strip other vers of ID3 using eyeD3 as it will del the v2 as well!

eyeD3  --to-v2.3 *.mp3

[Atari STE] Suska-III-B

Interesting FPGA Atari STE clone, in fact a WIP project, def not a PnP device

/!\ HAS BUGS (see below)  - my advise so far: NOT recommended to buy!

This is not like MiST/MiSTer/Minimig etc FPGA :

* Project DEAD , stopped, probably will move on github.

* Just one "core" is loaded , you will need to re-program the FPGA (via cable)

currently supports 68000/68010 and I think 68030L (L=Lite no MMU/FPU)

* lack of OSD (to control eg scanlines, ROM, HDD)

* support for (virtual) floppies is way primitive : dd the floppy image on a specific location of the SD card - only 2 images / time (drive A + B) 

* You can't access the HD partition under Linux (big minus there) , I managed it with an ... XP box .. lolz

 This device has serious BUGS (will update if/when fixed)

- Works better with EmuTOS , on other TOS (eg 2.06) bombs and/or freezes

- Some games (goldrunner) have broken gfx

- RTC clock does not work 

- miniUSB power socket that is not supported properly == NOT good news ( fragile!)

- User Manual -> unacceptable

- Support ->  AVERAGE
