album artwork

iPod classic or 3G iPod nano randomly resetting or freezing when displaying album artwork

nanocover 20070918 014331 iPod classic or 3G iPod nano randomly resetting or freezing when displaying album artworkIs your fancy new iPod classic or nano crashing on you as you show your album artwork off to your friends? According to this support document, it might just be the artwork itself causing the crash.

Apple recommends the usual “resetting and updating” to pull your iPod out of its electric brain fart, but warns…

use the workaround in Option A … to turn off album artwork for songs or you can try and isolate which song(s) are causing the issue

Apple details the process for doing each in the document but I’m left to wonder if tracking down corrupted album artwork within massive iTunes libraries will soon become commonplace. How much could I charge for that? Hmm….
