It either gets out of sync fairly easily,
or my friends and clients are bizarre. ;)
Worse, it has no tool to get the database back in sync.

What matters is how many files need to be indexed, and how fast they can
be indexed, not how much space there is on the device, and only the
changes need to be indexed, not everything.

not unless the user is doing something weird or unusual.

how is it out of sync? maybe your diagnosis is in error.

that must be the case.

it doesn't need one when it rarely, if ever happens.

and if someone buys a 160 gig ipod, the probably have a lot of music to
put on it, otherwise they'd have bought a lower capacity unit for less
money. in other words, there *are* a lot of files to index.

and then it will need to be merged with the main database.

it is a feature, one which hundreds of millions of ipod owners prefer.
