   Thanks kc and the other people who have contacted me directly.

   Seems like people have generally gravitated to similiar cards.

   Working cards:-

   A-Data Speedy 16Gb
   A-Data Speedy 32Gb
   Peak Technology 16Gb
   Samsung OEM 150x (ebay) 32Gb
   Sandisk Ultra II (all capacities)
   Sandisk Extreme III (all capacities)
   Topram (ebay) 32Gb
   Transcend 133x 8Gb
   Transcend 133x 16Gb
   Transcend 133x 32Gb

   Known not to work:-
   Hama 2Gb
   Samsung OEM 280x (ebay) 4Gb
   Samsung OEM 280x (ebay) 8Gb
   Samsung OEM 280x (ebay) 16Gb
   Topram (ebay) 16Gb

   Quick note about the cheap generic cards found on ebay - it seems they have serious quality control issues, some of these cards work and some don’t. Even if the cards seems to work ok in a card reader it does not mean it will ok in the iPod. That is the risk with these cheap unbranded cards.

   Once I have gathered more data - I will put up a compatibility page as a reference point.

   Thank you and keep the card information coming…

   another thing to think about is the filesystem used. i’ve been using the “mac” filesystem on my ipod, and already i’ve had the data corrupted. it only happened once so far… i’ll keep you updated if it happens again.

   I would not think the filesystem should matter. My 32Gb A-Data test iPod has been flawless for the last 3 months, I am however using Windows format.

   i’m going to try to format my ipod for windows usage (fat32), and then sync it through mac (my primary OS). well let you know in a few days if it is more stable.

   i’m also considering using an older firmware. a recurring theme in other people’s restore loop problem is that they’re using firmware 1.2.1 and later.

   Let me know how you get on. I would be interested to know if the filesystem does make a change!!
