So I have a 32gb iPod touch as a portable music player.  When I purchased my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, I was pleased to know that it came equipped with Sync, so that I could take my iPod with me in the car.  During the first sync to the car, all of the music transferred properly, and almost all of the songs would play without difficulty.  Over time, several iPod software updates came along, followed by several Sync updates as well.  After the first time I updated the iPod with new music, and re-plugged it into the car, it no longer worked correctly.

It would take HOURS for the iPod touch to completely index and then when it would index, it still would not be able to play all the songs.  Over time it would not even play 50% of the songs on the device, skipping to the next track time and time again.

Today I purchased a 16gb iPod nano.  In the past, when I have had iPod adapters and interfaces in cars (mainly through the aftermarket), the nano always seemed like the device that would work the best.  It has faster seek times than the classic, and is not nearly as complex as the touch.

So far, after my first synchronization, it appears that the nano is working perfectly fine in the Fusion.  I will continue to document my woes as time progresses.  I love the Sync interface, but I just want it to work well with my iPod as well.
