skips/pauses on playback of multiple formats on 80g ipod

Do you have database auto-update enabled?  If so, try turning it off.  Also try with and without Database in RAM.

The directory cache background scan might keep the disk running for a minute or so after boot (depending on how many files you have) - if you also resume playback while it's still scanning, it will take quite a bit longer so 2 minutes of disk activity sounds reasonable to me.

The point is that it should be a background task that doesn't interrupt playback streaming.  (It might make the UI somewhat slow to respond until it completes though.)

Army:
Thanx for your answer!

I'll again try out several settings and let's see, if it works again. I'll go searching for a Windows machine (I'm on Linux) to check the fragmentation, I'm quite sure, that this is also a reason for my problems.

edit:
Ok, I do have a workaround now, which is okay for me. I do activate auto update of the database, have directory cache enabled and load the database to RAM. After booting into Rockbox, I simply wait until the disc stops running around, which usually doesn't take too long, even after loading new stuff unto my player. After that, I start playback. No problems then.
But still, automatic resuming of playback would be very nice! I haven't checked the fragmentation yet, will do that soon, maybe a defragmentation solves the problem completely..

Llorean:
You said music doesn't skip, but you think it's close to skipping. If it doesn't skip, what are you worried about?
