Bug description:
Binary package hint: hipo

if i plug an ipod formated under itunes, with the latest firmware and then open hipo, i get a crash in the program:

sourcer at ideafix:~$ hipo

if hipo is already open and plug the same ipod, the report is similar, but hipo doen't crash:

It shouldn't give this awful error, or even crash i think hipo should pop up a dialog window informing the user about the problem and optionally a solution like format the ipod with a supported database version.
And hopefully instead of this last suggestion, just support newer databases, like banshee or rhythmbox does.

by the way, banshee said the database version is 20 and hipo 24
