Reverting your iPod back to 1.2 from 1.2.1

An ongoing discussion over at the Apple.com support forums led me to this tip from Macintouch about reverting your iPod back to firmware version 1.2. Many of the posters there have reported complaints about firmware 1.2.1 causing lockups. Paul Constantine writes that smart playlists have been killing his iPod, so he figured out how to downgrade. The secret lies in making sure only the 1.2 files are in your ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/ folder and disconnecting from the Internet so you cannot download newer versions. You'll find the complete how-to here.
