Ok, I bought two iPod Classics. One 160GB (for everything in MP3/320 kbps) and one for really good stuff in Apple Lossless. Not to be rude, but don't even start questioning whether I can tell the difference. I can.

I have this Pioneer interface in my car with a Pioneer DEH-P7800MP CD player. It's wonderful, at least was with my 5th Gen.

Now, here's what happens with the classics:

- If I plug in the iPod and turn on the system, it starts playing, everything is fine. The OSD (on-screen display) shows the correct information.

- If I advance to the next track in the playlist, it's fine, everything on the OSD updates.

- If I let the album or playlist continue to play, the OSD will remain on the track information from the first track played. After this, it is stuck, even if I advance to a different track.

- If I then select a different album, it updates properly.

- If, when it is stuck, I turn off or unplug the iPod, then turn on the system or plug the iPod back in, the information updates properly.

At first, I thought it was only a problem with the 160GB (with 1.0.1) on it. The 80GB worked fine for a bit, then I noticed it did it too (1.0.0).

I know Apple's made database changes, but the ability to browse artists/albums/playlists from the CD player works fine... in fact, the problem of the lag with the CD-iB100i is much reduced, probably due to a faster hard drive.

I'm hoping this is something Apple can fix via firmware.
