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. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14874910/rhythmbox-year-music.png Screenshot of correct year in music library (91.6 KiB, image/png) http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14874913/rhythmbox-year-ipod.png Screenshot of incorrect year in iPod (93.7 KiB, image/png) "
Created attachment 112529 [details] [review] Compile-tested patch 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
