Re: [Gtkpod-questions] IPOD 6g Classic Songs Lost after Windows - Linux -Windows Sync sequence

[Bryce A. <ba....@br...>]

So just for clarification:
I did not add any music from the linux box, I only added photos.
Following the Linux Sync (adding photos only, or at least I think that is
all I did)
The iPod displayed Everything correctly.  I was able to see and play the
1000+ tunes, and all the images.
 At that point the iPod was working correctly.

The next time I plugged the iPod into the windows box, it went into this
auto sync mode, and started
to re-sync every single one of the songs in the iTunes library.

Unfortunately I am not sure if I feel comfortable attempting to reproduce
the issue, because I don't want to go back through that experience again.
I may try it some weekend when I have plenty of spare time.

I am more currious if others have had a similar issue.
