    I think this bug is related to the doubles issue at the start of this mail.

    I say this because I went back into Windows, and iTunes reset the
entire database to my iPod. I booted back into Linux and went back
into Amarok and added new podcasts and also added new songs but only
by manually copying the files into the collection and running "rescan
collection" and artwork on the iPod works fine.

   To test this theory, I'd have to add new music using the "copy to
collection" feature and then moving to my iPod to see what happens..

   But I did notice that playlists.cpp changed before the bug appeared
and playlists.cpp was changed again when the bug disappeared. But that
could be purely a coincidence.

   What I need to do is load amarok's code into Kdevelop and see for
myself. I just haven't had the time yet..
