Maybe, the ipod database is fragile at the best of times, even if you
only ever used Apple stuff then you would still might have the
database corrupted sooner or later. Furthermore, Windows formatted
Ipods use the FAT filesystem, so it is hardly a recipe for stability.
Letting I-tunes re-format the FAT is probably a good move say every 6
months or so.

The golden rule is to keep the original copies of all your music on
grown up computers, I wouldn't trust the ipod with my worst enemy's
Abba collection.

I don't know Amarok as KDE is the dark side, but it is possible that
some incompatibility has crept in. However, using Amarok or something
to get the library out, might be slightly nicer if it then names them
with reasonable filenames.
