We're considering removing the "Rebuild database" option from the iPod. Instead, when there's a database error, we'd recommend a format and re-sync. (like iTunes does)
This issue is that as we're adding video and photo support, database rebuilding gets more dicey. Since a user only does this if they're having problems, we think we may only be adding to the confusion.
Would anyone greatly miss this option, and if so, why? Thanks.

I recently used this feature on my 5G video ipod and it threw me into an infinite reset loop. I have photos and video's loaded on the iPod so i do not know if that caused the problem, but since it hasn't been working for me, I have been formatting and resyncing when I had problems anyway.

I have a iPod Nano and did a rebuild which totally screwed up my iPod (infinite loop).
It took me 3 hours to get my nano working again.
I wouldn't miss it ;D

I wouldn't miss it.
Even with it available, I always use intialize instead.
I suspect the only people who will complain are the ones that have music on their ipods but no copy of it on their pc.

I wouldn't miss it. Last few times I tried it I got stuck in the restart loop. I am more likely to initialize an sync anyway.
-
I wouldn't miss it either. I've already learnt out of experience to prefer format+sync over rebuild db.

Same. It's never worked for me. (I don't know why I kept trying that first. Always led to a reformat, initialize, resync, anyway.)

It has never worked for me either. Kill it!!
