Using it in this mode, RMM is more awkward than Windows software for the iPod and that's pretty bad.

Using it like you are seems a lot like the empeg to me, so I don't see it as a problem.

RMM is still being updated and developed further, so there will be newer versions. However, this may not fix your problem. It's likely that you have a file or files that are currupt in some way that RMM doesn't like. If you come across it, send it to me or someone else on the beta team and we will submit it to development.
