just thought i'd give everyone an update. i reformatted the ipod
yesterday (vfat again) and added my music back via gtkpod. i think when
amarok mucked up everything (remember it changing all of the language to
chinese?) and I deleted all the songs - i'm not sure if i actually got
everything off. so when i added the songs this time i managed to get
1700 + songs on and checked the remaining space - plenty o' room. so it
must have been amarok that caused the problem!

thank you everyone for your patience on this issue and for all of your help.
