Mine has worked okay for me, but I'm moving from Mac to Linux, not Windows. I did have several songs that got "lost", where the iPod would pull it up to play, and display the title for a second, then move to the next song without playing anything. I removed and resynced my collection, which fixed the problem. (iTunes options, Synchronize only selected files; now unselect all files in the iPod playlist, and sync. Once finished, select all files in that playlist again and sync once more.)
