I reinstalled my itunes as well. I only "showed it" 4 gigs then synced both a 4 and a 30 with out problems. I will add more and see what happens. I have more than enough to fill the 30. While the itunes is not really evil on one was ever concerned with the learning curve required to use the ipod and the software. My nano locked up it took someone that has had one for a year to 'fix' it. You had to switch on and off a switch 3 times then press and hold down two controls for 15 seconds and the thing 're-booted'.
I also hate how it makes very stupid choices for you. I am sure itunes ignored the settings and tried to sync all the tunes. That is a real joke. I also hate that itunes loads modules at start up. I do not expect to run itunes except to load my ipods. This may only happen a few times a year. Those modules really slow my computer down. Itunes runs in 'slow motion' on my computer. My computer is a PC running at 1.7 GHZ. The New bottom of the line computers run at about 3 GHZ now, so it is slow. I did not expect to have to buy a new computer just to load my ipod!
MS Media player is far more functional for what I do running on a PC. I never play songs from 'the library'. I either play play-lists or make new ones using Explorer. I have a few hundred converted vinyl albums in my library with no artist or album info. The folders and file names have that information. This is not a problem with media player using it the way I do but I have not figured out how to
get it to work seamlessly on itunes. Maybe I just need to keep importing the MS playlists.
