[gpodder-devel] iPod can't see tracks

I wasn't sure if I should submit a bug report, or if I was doing something
wrong. Sounds like it is a bug, so I'll go ahead and submit a report.

Thanks for the RockBox suggestion, looks great! I hate the iPod firmware,
I'm only using this thing because I broke my Sansa and a friend gave me
this. I'll be installing RockBox after I submit the bug report right now.
