Just got an iPod and love it except that it would only transfer 715 out of 834 mp3's. Tried a number of times ... iPod keeps ignoring the same files. If I try to manually drag one of these files to the iPod library, the library does not highlight... it just treats it like some other kind of file. There is lots of room on the drive. All of the rejected files behave normally in iTunes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hmm, I've had this happen to me once. I edited a song to take out a very large gap in it in QT pro. After the editing it, I can't put it on my iPod. I haven't solved the problem, but I think it might be solved by getting one of the apps that let you look at the hidden music library on the iPod and putting the mp3s in there.

after saving a file in Quicktime Pro, it will be a .mov file, not an mp3. Try re-encoding your problem mp3's in iTunes (or another mp3 encoder) and see if they work then

It says it's still an mp3 after editing, maybe it's just confused.

I've had those sorts of issues with .mov mp3 files. They often look like real mp3s but they're really quicktime movies with an mp3 sound track, and there's no easy way to extract that track. You could extract the the audio as an aiff and then encode it to mp3 but that would really mess up the quality (re-encoding of mp3s is bad Bad BAD). I really don't know a good way to solve this problem.

Thanks for the comments. I have since discovered that these files are actually mp2s which are not supported by iPod. I have since re-ripped the tracks in mp3 format. End of problem
