Skipping
My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data,

I have an ipod 5th Gen, 80GB video I've had it since August last year. I use AAC format for downloading tracks but just suddenly out of the blue it as started skipping on tracks. Usually about the last 30 seconds or the first 5-10 seconds on the start of the next track.

I always have shuffle mode on and it as never been a problem till now. Also it has not been the same track twice. It started only yesterday, it skipped the end of one track and the begining off the next track,then today the end of another.

I just hope I havent got to by a new player, can some one please help

Found a fix on mine!
My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data,

I have a 160GB Classic and I was having a similar problem with whole albums. I would begin listening on track one and it would just skip through the tracks and flash the titles and not play a thing. I'm assuming it has something to do with the bit rate because once I re-ripped them as AAC files @ 192 CBR they played fine. I used a program called MAX for MacOS not sure if it's made for Windows. I hope this helps someone else out there.

Here are some suggestions:

1. clear the ipod of all music (I would do this by Making a dud playlist that's empty and telling it to sync ONLY that dud playlist) after doing that maybe try putting on some of the offending songs into that dud playlist and try it then. See if that works. If it does, then re-sync your library (or the songs you had on it) and see if that worked.

2. Format the iPod unplug it (it should give the message 'use itunes to restore' or something to that effect) plug it in, and let her rip. see if that sucker works

3. Call your apple store and ask for their advice, if there's anything you can do, if not take it to them.

Hope this helped

Try rebooting your ipod by pressing "menu and the center button at the same time, for about 7 seconds.

Dude last option is to restore you ipod & update the latest software version I.E 2.1

Note: this will erase all you data which is stored in your ipod

Then try doing that all most your problem will get resolve

iPod skipping songs...
My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data,

 None of the above suggestions works.  I have an 80 GB iPod that recently started doing this.  I bought a new 120 GB Classic, and once I loaded it with my library, it skipped at the same spots on the same songs.  The weird thing is that the songs play perfectly if I play them off iTunes.

I suspect that the files must've been corrupted during a routine back-up of my music files, and while my computer can adjust for the corruption, the iPod cannot.  I'm making a note of which albums contain these supposedly corrupted songs, and will try to erase and re-import them.  This is gonna take ages...
