Afternoon guys, Couple of quick questions: Do all ipods have the iTunesSD database as well as the iTunesDB database installed on them? Is it necessary to write the iTunesSD file to any ipod other than the shuffle? (latter it definitely is required) Any idea why 2 databases were implemented? ta for now.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jorg, Thought that might be the case. In which case I have just done the attached patch as init_ipod creates the itunesSD regardless of the model. Might be required. Regards PGR Jorg Schuler wrote: > Paul G.
