[Solved] Playback issue with iPod Touch 3rd Gen

Thought i would add ipod support to my new arch system by installing libimobiledevice,.
So i installed the folllowing files and added my user account to the usbmux group -
libimobiledevice
glib2
gnutls
libplist
usbmuxd
gvfs-afc
ifuse
libgpod
gtkpod

my ipod touch is mounted automatically with gnome and im able to view all the files on the ipod, when i open banshee or rhythmbox it detects the ipod and all the songs on it too,
but when i go to play a song from the ipod, i  get a slight freeze and a error next the name of the songs and the ipod displays 'Sync in Progrss'
i waited til that disappered and tried again but still no songs play.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, if i get this working then Arch linux will probaly remain on my system
