Fix for sluggish 5G iPod interface
Fix for sluggish 5G iPod interface: reports say this is a hit-or-miss solution, but it doesn’t hurt trying. Album art optimization seems to be the culprit for the sluggishness. Connect the iPod to your computer, turn off the “Album Art” option (in “Preferences”), disconnect. Reconnect, turn on the option, wait for iTunes to do the optimization, disconnect, enjoy. Note that this also applies to the Nano.
