I have to agree with Phil, synching with files and folders on the computer isn't the best solution.
What I would like is, unfortunately, not one of your options. I think that synchronization the way that MMJB or iTunes handles it is best -- I designate MJ playlists/smartlists to synchronize with. This:
1. transfers files to the iPod on the playlists/smartlists.
2. deletes files on the iPod that aren't on the playlists/smartlists.
3. creates iPod-playlists that mirror the MJ playlists/smartlists.
I third this - definately the best way in my opinion.

udeups,
When doing your testing, does Ephod not have any problem displaying/playling more than 17 gigs?

3) Improved handling of duplicate files. In the new Plug-in, files are sent to random folders. If a duplicate exists, the user is given the option of modifying the filename or selecting a different folder.\
Hi Tim,
I don't know whether you're running XP or not, but I saw this thread on Apple's board today and thought it was really interesting:

Something is clearly a problem with iPod and firewire and it would not be surprising if it's Windows related.

I've been able to duplicate and prevent the crashes when accessing the root of the iPod. Here's what I did:
If I click the "+" sign next to the "CD/DVD & Handhelds" item and then click the iPod, I get a crash every time.
If I DON'T click the "+" sign, but click the "CD/DVD & Handhelds" item itself, and THEN click the iPod, I have no problem. The "Analyzing Devices" and "Gathering Information & Updating View" dialogs come up and then the iPod has a nice "+" sign next to it when I click on it.
I'm up and running again. :)

Bottom line, it has something to do with the "Analyzing Devices and Updating View" function. I don't think that is kicked off unless you first select the "CD/DVD & Handhelds" item (man I'm getting tired of typing that) :)
OK...
I'm getting a similar problem with instant MJ9 crashes but for me its when I try to open the E: directory (where my iPod lives.) This literally just started it was fine before.
