One thing to keep in mind about long tracks
Authored by: nat5an on Jun 27, '04 03:40:49PM

In my experience, the iPod loads as much into RAM as it possibly can to minimize the amount of time it has to spin the hard drive. It seems to load all of the current song (or as much as it can), and then the next few songs that will be played (if there's space available), assuming no user interference. Thus you may see that if you skip a song or two, the next song will start playing immediately, but if you skip several songs, you'll have to wait for the song to be loaded into RAM. Of course this effect will vary greatly with the size of the audio files.
