Perhaps that&#8217;s just subjective, but it does feel a little smoother. After all, it was pretty fragmented, which I assume is because it&#8217;s mostly full and there wasn&#8217;t much room to rearrange the data.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news: the pause that I&#8217;ve seen from time to time, where the iPod &#8220;hangs&#8221; for what seems like an eternity, is still there. This happens most often when I pause while playing a song near the end of a smartlist, then scroll up to play a song near the top. This may affect normal playlists too, I don&#8217;t know. Either way, though, this minor annoyance is still present.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and on a semi-related note, after about 43 hours over 5 attempts, my Cube is finally defragged too. Running a compact followed by a full optimize did the trick. Apparently I needed to make room for some of the bigger files to move around during optimization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, this isn&#8217;t about some alternate anti-matter universe in Doom 3 where targets reassemble themselves when you shoot them&#8230; I&#8217;m talking about rearranging and optimizing the files on my iPod.
