banshee can't unmount my ipod

from https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/634047 Binary package hint: banshee I mount my ipod classic then start banshee, play a song from the ipod and stop listening the song. If then I want to unmount the ipod through banshee, it does not work. If I want to unmount it through the desktop icon it doesn't work either and says the device is still in use. I must quit banshee to be able to unmount the device. Banshee doesn't release the device when you hit the play/pause/stop button.

When banshee unmounts the device it passes the "Force" flag to forcibly unmount it. If the operating system chooses to ignore that, then there's absolutely nothing banshee can do. It's possible that when you pause or stop the playback, gstreamer still has the file open and therefore the operating system decides it shouldn't unmount the device. That's the only thing I can think of. Punting this to the gstreamer component for now. I can't reproduce this on my system though.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
