Please provide the following information:

1.  The type of player you are using (iPod, iriver, iAudio, Sansa, etc.)
2.  The bootloader version that you are using
3.  The version number of the Rockbox build that you are using
4.  The type of music you are trying to play (mp3, wav, flac, wma, etc.)
5.  The exact error message that you receive.

Please also state the exact version number. This can be found in the "System > Rockbox info" menu.

Which Ipod Video build (zip) did you download and install exactly: the "Ipod Video 64MB" one or the other that only says "Ipod Video"? (The latter would be the correct one for the 30GB player whereas the 64MB version can cause the problems you describe, I think.)

That's your problem.  Try the 32MB build.

Yes, read the manual (follow the link in the left hand side menu) - especially the parts about the Database but it is an interesting read in general. ;)

pixelma was saying that if you want to be able to see music that you loaded onto your player via iTunes, then you will probably find the section regarding the database useful.
