Re: [Gtkpod-devel] itdb_write_file

[Bradley W. <br...@gm...>]

I'll let you know how I go with the bindings. Everything seems to be coming
along well -  swig is a very handy program.

Your email helped a lot. I'd been adding tracks to the master playlist, so =
I
didn't think to look in any other playlist for errors. It turns out there
was a few tracks in my podcast playlist without any tag information. When I
removed these the problem resolved itself.

So, thanks for your help! Things are moving along nicely again now.
