Let's do our best to keep an accurate tally of the bugs introduced (or still existing) in iPod OS 2.0.
Please only post to this thread if:
1. You have news that Apple has confirmed, acknowledged, or fixed one of the bugs mentioned here. If you can post a link to the confirmation, we'll edit the top post to reflect it.
2. You have found a new bug and have already discussed it in another thread. Link to the thread where you announced your bug. The reason for this is that it might not be a bug, it might be something you're doing wrong. The idea for this thread is bugs, not tech support, so we want to make sure that other people are experiencing your bug.

When a user manually turns the backlight on, the backlight can and does turn off while the user is still accessing menus. The backlight should stay on light as long you are browsing the menus, and then time out to turn off, like it did with 1.2.x.
Not acknowledged by Apple.
The iPod sometimes skips to the next song in the list at a certain point in some songs; this is not a random skip, it's always at the same position in the song. If the user skips past that point the rest of the song will play normally. The same songs play flawlessly on the computer and on the iPod OS 1.2.x.
Not acknowledged by Apple.
There is a slight "clicking" distortion between songs or as the tracks are skipped; this also happens as songs play normally (all from the same list - so it isn't seeking on playlist or random play).
Not acknowledged by Apple.
The hard drive spins up after every song. On 1.2.x, the hard drive would only spin up to refill the buffer, and then only when the buffer is nearly empty.
Not acknowledged by Apple.
If a user pauses playback and allows the iPod to go to sleep, no audio comes from the iPod when the user wakes the iPod up and resumes playback. This bug does not happen 100% of the time. This bug has happened both when using the wired remote and when using the iPod without the remote. Sometimes, but not all the time, when this bug exhibits itself, the clock will reset to 12:00 AM.
Not acknowledged by Apple.
The left and right channels swap sides after you pause and resume playback.
Acknowledged by Apple
The iPod will not "wake up" from sleep mode; no buttons will respond. This bug most often exhibits itself when the user has paused playback and put the iPod on HOLD, though it has exhibited itself with no involvement of the HOLD switch. The user must then either toggle the HOLD switch on and off or reboot the iPod to get any response from any buttons. Toggling the HOLD switch works intermittently; rebooting works every time.
Acknowledged by Apple
Sometimes the iPod will lock up when browsing in menus for no obvious reason, requiring a reboot. On average, an iPod running 2.0 must be rebooted much more often then the old version.
Not acknowledged by Apple.
Clearing the "On the go" playlist while it is being played ends playback immediately. Adding content to the "On the go" playlist while it is playing will not result in the new content being played; the user must re-start playback of the "On the go" playlist to hear the new content.
