best way to transfer music

<< < (2/2)

[Saint]:
Just to be clear, USB HID doesn't negatively impact transfers to the device.

Using your iPod clickwheel as a mouse can even be kinda fun ;)

Some people just simply would rather the device didn't enumerate as a human interface device.

EDIT:
Also, some users do notice a slight speed increase during transfers using disk mode, which is more noticeable on some models than others (speculative, as it's not been backed up by throughput data that I know of).
I have noticed it myself, but the speed-up isn't worth the hassle of switching to/from disk mode in my opinion as the gain is quite marginal.

It shouldn't do no, but there is a bug in an old version of OSX (IIRC) which doesn't play nicely with HID so it was necessary to disable it.

Well this is interesting if it's not the way I transfer  files to my player then what causes the file corruption in the .rockbox folder? Theirs  files with weird hieroglyphic letters, is it a rockbox internal problem is my ipod not shutting down right or could my hdd be going?
