[Bug-gnupod] gnupod - problems with ogg files & songlist

[Ed Wandasiewicz]

If you rip a CD in ogg format and add the songs, we have a loss of song
number and number of songs. The songs do not appear in the correct order
on the iPod. 

1. Rip a CD, with all tracks saved in Ogg format. Each file has a track
number from the album.

2. Make that directory your present working directory. Then

$ gnupod_addsong.pl -m /mnt/ipod ./*.ogg --decode=mp3

3. mktunes.pl -m /mnt/ipod

Then if you view the files on your ipod, for this album, the track
numbers are lost in the information. This is evident in
/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/.gnupod/GNUtunesDB.xml

The ogg format has song and number of songs. However, the transformation
into mp3 loses the information.

Can you help?
