Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store

I have three machines running Lucid. I grabbed a free album on one of them just to test out the music store and it downloaded to that machine just fine, but none of the tracks showed up on any other computers.

I then grabbed a free track on a second machine and noticed that track and all of the previous ones showed up.

On the third I went poking around the filesystem to see if they were downloaded but not showing up in RB for some reason when I noticed that ~.local/share/ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One was a bad link to ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One (i.e. ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One didn't exist). Once I grabbed a free track from the store on that machine the directory was created and all the tracks started syncing.

I'm not sure if this is by design, but the expected behavior for me is that the music would sync to all my associated computers without having to buy tracks from each of them.

Aha. The problem here is, I think, not that you hadn't bought music on the other machines; it's that the other machines weren't connected to Ubuntu One, and buying music connects you to Ubuntu One. If you have a fourth machine to test with (!), then if you connect that machine (Me Menu > Ubuntu One > Devices > Connect, or "u1sdtool -c" from a terminal) then that machine should also get the music without having to buy a new one.

I do have a fourth machine, but I can't upgrade it yet since it's my main dev box at work. I can try loading a virtual machine when I get home and see what happens.

The other machines were syncing files just fine, so I'm not sure I understand what you mean by saying they weren't connected. That the daemon wasn't running until I started the music download?

I thought that might be possible, yes, that the daemon wasn't running until you started the music store download. Do please let me know if that's definitely not the case?

I've run a test on a fresh install. Once I authorized the computer with Ubuntu One my files started syncing as expected, but the music store directory wasn't created. I let all the files sync up and still nothing. I opened rhythmbox and then the music started downloading.

Starting rhythmbox wasn't enough on the other machines though, as I had done that in anticipation of watching the music populate (I get really bored sometimes...).

There is no support on such deprecated version; that one has died long time ago.
