I am able to transfer music from my computer to the ipod and can play music that's on the ipod on amarok, but the quality, in both cases is quite poor. There is a lot of skipping, repetition, and general distortion. The songs sound fine from their source (i.e., the transferring device). I've been looking around (google, mailing list archives, etc.), but I don't see any suggestions. I'm hoping you may provide some guidance. Also, when I quit amarok, it doesn't appear to fully shutdown. It will get to a point in the process and just hang. If I press enter after several seconds of waiting, I get back to my prompt. The point at which it hangs is not consistent. Do you need a dmesg or anything? Thanks! -- www.nealhogan.net www.lambdaserver.com
