I would stop by the dealership and ask to see if a new usb/6fl cord would make a difference. I remember my SA and shop foreman stating the cord tends to be a usual suspect
Never had a freezing episode with my 80gb ipod...

Actually whilst we are on the subject of iPods. Do the tracks have to be in any particular format? The itunes format is mpeg4!

Hhhm! But if you take an iPod and copy the music on in its (iTunes) default format will it then work when connected (via the iPod kit of course!!) to the car??
Or do you have to convert all the music first? What would be interesting is if one has a mixture of track formats on their iPod would the cars audio system be able to cope?

You've got the good one 
Just by sheer luck Apple had to have made one good one.
iPods and iPhones are Apple fanboy garbage. Emperor's new clothes junk. There's only one thing they have going for them - they're shiny and look pretty. That soon wears off, unlike the smudges and fingerprints on the stupid touch screens and the shiny rear side. The frequent freezes, the shit battery policy (anyone carry a spare battery for their apple product? oh no, you can't, we won't let you, we want to rip you off for $100 and make you send the whole thing back to us). The iphone fails miserably when compared against a proper product like a Nokia N95 which runs rings around it in terms of functionality. I was given an ipod from work as a bonus when a project completed ahead of schedule. Biggest piece of crap ever. It sits in a drawer frozen and unable to startup. As for Macs, i've had two (both given to me by work - I didn't want them). The first one was an iBook which died a miserable death (out of the 6 or so laptops I've ever had, how coincidental that the only one that died was the apple one). I'm stuck with a Mac mini piece of shit now. At least it doesn't take up much room, it has that going for it. It's crap though. I have to have a monitor plugged into it permanently, I can't just rely on having a VNC server and expecting it to startup and be available for remote control. Half the time it fails to start properly and needs something clicking on. If only the american government had not pushed microsoft around with anti-trust laws - maybe Bill could have put apple out of business. What a joyous situation that would be.
Yes, I joined the facebook groups "I will never buy an Apple product" and "Not a member of the apple cult".
Ditch the apple gadgets, ditch itunes, and use a DRM-free music service like Amazon-MP3 and use an MP3 player that accepts MP3 and WMA and be free from the apple tyranny.
