gtkpod Added Tracks Hang iPod

[sog]

hi there, not sure where else to post this so i figured this was as good
as anywhere. 



i have a 30 GB iPod video that up until a couple of months ago lived
solely on windows and worked just fine. a little while back, however,
Windows stopped recognizing it as an iPod and insisted on mounting just
as external hard drive, meaning that iTunes didn't recognize it. 



i thought i'd need to take it in for servicing, but happened to mount
it in Ubuntu and not only did Ubuntu see it, it could write to the
device. sweet, i thought. 



but unfortunately, the tracks i've uploaded to the device - all MP3's
purchased from emusic - play for a bit and then hang the ipod. 



anybody have any bright ideas for fixing that?
