Description of problem: Fixes many outstanding bugs. However, latest libgpod (which is isn't a hard requirement for compiling rhythmbox itself in 0.9.6) will avoid iPod problems which is bug #211823
We're still waiting on the libgpod 0.4.1 update. When that is done we will look at a rhythmbox update.
rhythmbox-0.9.7-1.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
Downloaded, installed and tested update, seems to work fine. Closing bug.
