    Details.

    -Has 3000 songs and only one movie

    -Latest itunes program

    -Store bought content

    -120gb classic (or 80-all i know it's a new classic)




    Issue:

    When playing songs, it may skip to another song randomly even while it's on lock, could be half way, could be 20 seconds into a song, could be 3 quarters into it, it shouldn't be skipping half way thru the mgs4 theme song :(



    What I have done:

    -Formatted the ipod-no change

    -Checked songs-works fine on pc, and clicking "BACK" sometimes let's the songs play in full, only for the next one to skip sometimes

    -Checked location of song files (all on external 1tb drive-NO ISSUES)




    I require some suggestions on what else to do, if it involves contacting apple, I'll leave this as is...


    All I know is this is the last time I use an ipod, my older classic (the gen before now) had the exact same issue (minus the ones from me dropping it-that one is busted but works-this one I haven't dropped yet)

    Maybe your iPod has a problem reading the files. How about converting them into another file type?

    I'm using the highest rate mp3 codec that ipod does when ripping from cd's-or as they come from torrent files.


    I used ACC before but I disliked it because my psp couldn't benifit from acc files, and the same problem still happened then.


    Only now I thought it's time to resolve this.

    From what It says over at

    It seems that the song is corrupted.

    That's bullcrap, the songs work fine everywhere, and even going back to them let's them work.

    itunes=full of BS
