How long do we have to wait for the fix to move through the system into
the 10.04 LTS?

I have a machine to build for a non computer literate friend, who I've
finally managed to talk into trying out Ubuntu. I intend on giving him
the latest LTS. He specifically wants to use this machine for managing
an iPod and for ripping his cd collection.

I know the workaround (preferred option in some cases I'm sure) is to
use something like Asunder to rip, and Rhythmbox to play and manage the
collection - but this is not an optimum solution for a non technical
user.

Should I set the system up to use Rhythmbox only and run the risk that
the fix is still not propagated in the next few weeks, or set up ripping
with an alternate ripper and run the risk that after I've set up his
machine the fix will come though and I'll have to return and reconfigure
his machine?

As previously stated, considering the heavy use that Ubuntu gets as a
media playing solution - this really should have a higher priority.

A delay is fair enough if a bug is under investigation and a fix is
being coded - but to delay a known fix from being distributed for over a
month is just not acceptable in an LTS. How am I supposed to recommend
Ubuntu to new users if this kind of fault is not fixed in a timely
manner?

I wonder how long before he asks if he can just have M$oft XP and iTunes
- which much as I hate to say it does seem to be the best solution right
now for the job at hand...
