I have a brand new ipod nano, and if I plug it in to my media center running Ubuntu 9.10, it gets mounted and I can see it in Nautilus.
Banshee, however, does not list it anywhere. Under preferences/extensions, I've checked that the ipod plugin is enabled.
Rhythmbox could see it okay. I found some forums suggesting uninstalling Rythmbox might help, but it hasn't.
Any other suggestions about why Banshee won't see it?
Is the ipod too new?
Thanks.

Banshee upstream is currently moving to libgpod, which is the same library that Rhythmbox uses, when this move is complete you should have better ipod support.
The Banshee team publishes stable releases in a PPA here: - https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa
However I am not sure if they will backport all the necessary bits to this PPA when the move is complete.
Unfortunately the ipod support in libgpod as shipped in 9.10 is not as good as 10.04, this is one of those cases where an upgrade will probably help you out to get support in Rhythmbox, and in the future (10.10 timeframe) Banshee will improve in this regard as well.
