Winamp iPod Plugin Goes Bad

If you use Winamp with your iPod through the winamp iPod plugin, you should probably hold off on updating your Winamp player.  This user talks about his unfortunate experience with the upgrade, which wreaked havoc on his iPod’s playlists.  In the end, he lost about 18GB of music from his iPod.  Luckily he was smart enough to have backups, and the only thing that was really lost was time.  It appears there may be a fix, but no confirmation on that.  In the meantime, if you’re a Winamp user, be cautious before upgrading if you use it with your iPod.
