I'm using amarok 1.4.10, debian testing, linux 2.6.26-1-686, gtkpod 0.99.12-3.

I used amarok to load songs onto my iPod. I then rated songs on my iPod when I was bored on the train. After replugging the ipod, these ratings are not reflected in amarok. I have "synchronize with amarok statistics" checked in the "Configure Media Devices" dialog.

I can see the songs which should be rated in the "Devices" view. If I right-click one and select "Edit Track Information", the dialog shows a Score of 0, an empty Rating, a Playcount of 0 and both "First Played" and "Last Played" are "Never".

If I use gtkpod to look at the track on the ipod, it finds a rating.

It appears that the ipod is scanned for songs, but the statistics information is never read, so amarok never updates it's statistics.

How do I convince amarok to import these statistics?

I'm having the same issue.  I'm using a jail broken iTouch 2.1.  I can transfer to the iTouch, but vice versa does not work   Is this feature suppose to work or am I miss-interpreting something?
