Thanks a lot for replying !

Here you are :

19:54:44:~/Documents/iPod> mktunes.pl -m /Volumes/GAWIPOD -g 000A27001561AB81
mktunes.pl 0.99.6

You can now umount your iPod. [Files: 37986]
 - May the iPod be with you!

OK, done. Thanks.

Yes, I will. In fact, my iPod contains 25000+ songs for now, so without
cross references, I'm far from the 32946 limit. This said, even with cross
references, until exactly 32945 entries in GNUtunesDB.xml, the iPod works
like a charm. But the bug could come from some combination of big number
of entries + cross references.

0.99.6

Thanks again and best regards,
