Yes, I will. In fact, my iPod contains 25000+ songs for now, so without cross references, I'm far from the 32946 limit. This said, even with cross references, until exactly 32945 entries in GNUtunesDB.xml, the iPod works like a charm. But the bug could come from some combination of big number of entries + cross references. > BTW: Which version of gnupod are you using? 0.99.6 Thanks again and best regards, P-M.
