Yes. iPods require that folder system and short file names in order to use the media files.

Update- I right-clicked on my iPod from My Computer and chose Format. Completed that process and wiped the data from it. Removed it from USB devices and replugged it. Recognized by both my computer and MM as my iPod. Am trying again but still stuck at Preparing List of Files. When I bought this iPod about a year ago, it synched fine with MM. I've synched it twice with MM since I've owned it, but only now is it refusing to sync.

What other troubleshooting options are there for me to try, and are there any MM Summary, Auto-Sync List, or Options settings that might be causing this endless cycle of "Preparing list of files"?
