Type 32 mhod is related to video files (one appears for each file). This 
is confirmed by some posts on ipodlinux.org I found in the google cache 
(www.ipodlinux.org is down).

It seems no one knows what type 32 mhod is exactly. Libgpod does not 
have support for it. I don't know how it handles unknown mhod types 
though. Gnupod removes them, which doesn't seem to bother my iPod Nano.

I made some backups of the iTunesDB before and after loading video files 
with iTunes. A hex editor doesn't give me much insight. Let me know if 
you want to take a peek yourself.

Cheers,
