A first suggestion, I offer you is to pause the music and browse and then play the one you want to listen to.

I also believe, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, that your player's cache of songs and directories may have an impact on that.

i have around 5000 songs on the ipod but really, i doubt the number of songs would affect performance, except for the in-ram database.. any comments here?
pausing and attempting to start another track exhibits the same 10-second slowness as skipping to the next in queue, and its terribly frustrating to have to pause to choose another song.

thats a really good point. i use ubuntu at home and work but when i connect the ipod to a windows pc it goes on about needing to check the filesystem. ill run hdd diagnostics (on ubuntu) and find out what i can.

no, but i usually do.. i think the last time i updated rockbox and cleared settings, i forgot to turn it on. ill do it now and get back to you in this thread.

ill update use the newest version :) (although i believe im using one from ~5 months ago).

jeffrx:
I switched from a 30gb 5.5 to 80gb 5.5 and experienced the same problems.  Try turning off auto-update.  It's still slower than the 30gb with the same number of songs.
