Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-06-02 09:22:24 UTC
the bug has been described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/144273

"When files are transferred to an iPod, the 'year' part of the tag is copied incorrectly onto the device. It appears to use a fragment of the unix time instead. For example, 2007 becomes 11781, 2008 becomes 12146, etc.

This issue has been experienced both on Ubuntu 8.04 with rhythmbox 0.11.5-0ubuntu7 and an iPod shuffle 1GB, as well as Ubuntu 7.04 with rhythmbox 0.10.0 and a 4G iPod 40GB.

Hmm, indeed, the ipod plugin doesn't make any attempt at converting the "date" to a year, a patch like the attached one should do the trick
