ipod shuffle

Hi,

I have an ipod shuffle (1 GB model) and found, like others
in bug
#386662, that rhythmbox would add the tracks to the device
but they
wouldn't be playable upon unplugging.  From what I can tell,
it appears
that the shuffle needs both iTunesDB and iTunesSD files
writing; as far
as I can tell, rhythmbox only writes iTunesDB.  The attached
patch is
one way of fixing this but I have no idea if it's suitable -
perhaps
someone else with more knowledge of rhythbox internals could
comment?

Thanks,

Jonty.

I don't have an ipod shuffle to test with, but it looks
okay. I'd
probably change it to do the check once and set a "need
to write shuffle
db" flag, though.
