Hey everyone,
I recently did something that slightly changed all the ID3 tags of my songs, and iTunes dutifully replaced 6,000 songs on my Touch with the 6,000 updated songs. And now, I'm about to make another change that will result in the same thing.
My old iPod would sometimes freak out after too many songs were updated, like the iPod database sometimes got corrupt, not to mention disk fragmentation on the device. So I was thinking that maybe it would be better to erase the Touch first so it could start fresh.
I think the way you do this is to create a backup, then do a restore. If I do this, will any settings or playlists be lost? I'm about to leave on a trip and don't want to jeopardize messing anything up with no way to repair it from the road. I think I was just looking for an easy way to insure the database is clean and the filesystem relatively unfragmented.
Thanks!
