Music stops playing and iPod Touch returns to home screen

Yup, exact problem.
I'll be listening to song and thn BAM. The song shuts off.
And also, I'll listen to a song then try to connect to Safari and the song shuts off.
What a waste.

I'm having this same problem--the music just stops. When I go back to view music, sometimes it shows me a song or album that I listed to an hour ago (but not the one that just stopped). And sometimes when I go back to music it I see the blank screen for a few seconds, just like when the music app restarts after syncing. And on very rare occasions the iPod resets--I see the apple logo and have to wait the 20-seconds or so while it restarts.

This is my second touch--I exchanged the first one because of this problem. So I'm guessing now that it's a software problem, not a defective unit.

I don't know what to try next. This is very frustrating. This is my first iPod and I'm really in love with it, but this is starting to make me feal like I should have bought something else.

Have you restored it on iTunes. I had that problem but restored it and no problems.

Syncing to Vista will cause this problem more than syncing with XP. Call support and complain. Hopefully the next firmware will fix it.

Aye, I see the same problem as well.

Did doing a Restore help solve this issue for anyone?

My iPod touch is working much better now.

Yesterday I did several things:
* Turned it Off then back on (hold down power button until it asks if you want it off)
* Reset it
* Went into settings and told it to forget all networks
* Went into settings and did "Reset all Settings"

And now have about 3 hours of listening with no glitches at all. Probably not all of those were necessary, but I was too frustrated to try a long & methodical test. If in the future I start having this problem again, I attempt those things one at a time and see which was the answer.

I didn't try the suggested Restore only because I did the above stuff before seeingg the suggestion.

My iTouch got progressively worse until it cut out every song and with Safari. A/f powering it off, though, we're back to normal. Thanks team.

Same thing happened to me. I tried all of the above including restoring to factory default. Didn't seem to fix it.

And it won't.
It's a bug that isn't fixed by a restore at this point.

Hey. I was having the exact same issue when listening to music, viewing youtube videos and browsing the internet. I restarted my ipod (by holding the lock/sleep button for like.. 5 seconds and then sliding the bar to shut the ipod down) and I haven't had any problems since.

I have the most recent ipod software.

Nope.
But when it's released, you'll hear about it here!
