Please describe the problem:

From the UI, everything looks like it copies fine but remove the ipod and the songs aren't there. These errors are in the .xsession-errors file:

Comment 1 Andrew Conkling 2008-06-26 22:58:06 UTC

Does it work if you change the file name to get rid of the special characters? If so, looks related to bug 539668.

Comment 2 Michael Martin-Smucker 2010-02-13 22:09:18 UTC

This is almost certainly because of the "@" in the file name, which Banshee doesn't handle well while syncing to devices.  From this line

> Could not find file "/#%&*! Smilers/13 - Ballantines.mp3"

you can see that Banshee ignored the @ altogether.

Marking as NEW, because this has been reported elsewhere.  I'll mark a couple bugs as duplicates of this in just a minute.  I'll also update the version from 1.0.0 to git master.

Comment 5 Michael Martin-Smucker 2010-02-13 22:13:10 UTC

Also changed the title, as the root of this problem is the '@' and this is not specific to iPods.

-problems copying aimee mann's new "@#%&*! Smilers" songs from banshee to ipod
+Songs can't be synced to DAP if file path contains '@'

Comment 6 Andrés G. Aragoneses (IRC: knocte) 2010-09-19 16:46:00 UTC

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed in the proper place.

It should be solved in the next software version (in this case, it was because of a Mono bug). You may want to check for a software upgrade for the Mono package.

Feel free to reopen if you still see the problem (which may mean that there's another character different than '@' that we're not handling correctly).
