Frankenpod:
But did you drag-and-drop with the ipod in rockbox mode or in the original firmware disk mode?

If it works when you sync with iTunes, that would seem to suggest it, logically, should also work if you drag-and-drop while in 'iTunes' (i.e. original firmware) disk mode (without running iTunes itself).  Thus allowing you to keep your music in folders (that's what I do with a similar set up, though I also find the later versions of Rockbox seem to transfer OK, just slower than the original firmware).

I am also not clear if you are saying you did the complete drag-and-drop with the later rockbox version or just tried to play the previously transferred (and possibly already corrupt) files.  It sounds that its the transfer rather than the playing that is where the problem occurs.

Hmm, I always dragged and dropped in RB mode.

I was going thru numerous cards, so I was starting from scratch each time for a "lot" of the transfers.

I'll try the drag and drop in iTunes mode, hadn't thought of that.

I am transferring and transcoding thru Foobar into Apple IOS now mainly, but I would just like to drag and drop which is why I originally went RB.  If I had to deal with itunes only I wouldn't have an Apple!  I also don't want to transcode everything, although Foobar is lightening fast at the tx and  transcode.

I'll try the drag and drop in IOS now and see what happens.  Large files before would always be bad, so this should test pretty quick.

That's where the issue was!

Played some huge FLACs from some SACDs, around 150mb each and worked perfectly, all of them.  These were songs that wouldn't play but around a second before skipping.

Also, you are right, the transfer rate is much better in the Apple disk mode, I had not been using it so had not noticed it.

The songs sound better as well.  I'm thinking even the ones that would play a bit were hashed in the transfer.

Wish I didn't have to boot into Apple mode, but it's working.

Much thanx for the Logic you used here.

Hopefully this will help someone else as well.

This helps a lot because I was wanting to put two 512GB SD cards in this adapter!

I'm new to Rockbox and came here for the same problem with skipping. Have an iPod Video, added a quad-flash card from iflash.xyz and a 200 Gb sandisk microsd. After I copied files (drag-n-drop) under the original firmware, playback under Rockbox was fine again. Thanks for this solution.

I've run into this problem now, after just setting up the SD Dual card.  I did try putting my iPod into Disk Mode and it didn't fix the problem.  I still get skipping mp3 files, either big or small.  Any updated help or other tricks to try would be greatly appreciated.
