I opened a seperate bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/292066 that got marked as a duplicate of this but I think they are a little different.

"My" bug is only a subset of this one. I don't really care about play count numbers and ratings - and I think a lot of users agree with me here. But not being able to sync a playlist from Rhythmbox to the Ipod is a pretty huge roadblock.

- Everyone who has a music collection that is bigger than the Ipod cannot simply sync the whole library
- Even if you have a big Ipod for the complete collection, you'll pretty much need to work with playlists.

The situation recently improved with the solving of this bud: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/117925

Because now I can at least create a playlist directly on the Pod and move files from the Ipods library there. So we have now basic playlist support. Still, I have to do double work: create a playlist in RB and try to manually keep a playlist on the Pod "in sync" with the RB playlist.

Syncing a playlist from RB directly to Ipod would be a major improvement IMHO and should have absolute priority over sync ratings and play counts.

Best regards,
Christian
