GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 650377
Copied podcasts don't show up on iPod. This has been reported as fixed, yet still persists on v2.0

I'm running Natty 11.04 and trying to get into Banshee and see what it can do. There is a serious problem with the way it handles podcasts on an iPod. I'd imported other podcasts using gPodder and then wanted to import music from Banshee. Everything's fine. Then I go my podcasts (Main Menu > Podcasts) only to find that it says I have nothing there. I reconnect and in Banshee everything looks fine. However, now I can't get gPodder to recognize that the iPod is connected. GTKPod says everything is there, but another (and wrong) playlist has been created called "Podcasts." Now I have two. So, what if I download the podcasts in Banshee and transfer them in Banshee? Same problem! This bug is four years old (https://bugs.launchpad.net/banshee/+bug/140489) and according to Launchpad has already been fixed when, in fact, it has not. Serious oversight!
I have the same problem, and it's persisted over multiple distros for a year. Currently on a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10.
