[Techtalk] Rhythmbox and Banshee issues (Ubuntu Natty Narwahl)

[Deborah Gronke Bennett]

Alas, phython-pymtp IS installed, and my player is not detected. Sigh. 
I'll consider filing a bug, but that doesn't solve my immediate problem 
of how to get downloaded podcasts onto my Creative Zen player from this 
new laptop.

Thanks to everyone who made helpful suggestions on this subject.
