Just because it happened several times during the last weeks:
THIS FORUM IS ABOUT ML_IPOD PLUGIN ONLY.
Not about the iPod support that comes bundled with Winamp which is called pmp_ipod.
If you are not sure what you are using:
- If your iPod shows up in the "Devices" section in Winamp, you use ml_ipod. Then this is the right forum.

- If your iPod shows up in the "Portables" section in Winamp, you use pmp_ipod. Don't ask any questions here! Use the main Winamp support forum instead.
