My problem as I posted it on gentoo forums:

I am using banshee 1.4.3 and have an iPod classic 6th gen 160gb.
I have about 18k songs, and half of them are greek.

Ok now the SERIOUS problem:
I tried to use banshee with my ipod. It didn’t see all my songs; only those that were in a playlist.

Immediately after disconnecting my ipod I saw that banshee had deleted all playlists that werent created by itunes (even those that were otg playlists and that were afterwards edited with itunes, were deleted).
Now I’ve seen that all my tracks that had empty tags, now have a ‘MPEG audio file’ tag, and ALL my greek songs (9k) have empty tags.

WTF?!!?!?!
Ok I suppose that this damned thing has destroyed my iTunesDB, but is there still any chance I can recover it?
Has this thing happened to anyone else?

My guess is that banshee changed iTunesDB encoding, so I ‘ll try to mess with it (after backing up what’s left).

TIA,
