Question

music skipping

I just got an 4g nano for my birthday at the beginning of September 08. Today my music began skipping. I have this nano filled with music because it is only a 4GB model. What would cause this and how can I fix it?

MacPro 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2GB RAM

I wonder if this is somehow related to the skipping issue I'm seeing with my new iPod Classic 120gb. I don't suppose you're seeing random reboots of the iPod at all as well?

No I just noticed this problem for the first time yesterday. It happened to one song then about three songs later again than continued with most of the following tracks before I gave up. I am going to wipe the thing clean and change the songs on it only to about 75% capacity and see if the songs still skip. After that what else should I try. I am about ready to return it.

Do the songs skip while playing in itunes?

Restore the nano. Reset the nano. If that doesn't work, reinstall itunes.

How are they skipping? Does it play for a second then go to the next track? Or is it skipping repeatedly within a single track?

My ipod Nano 4GB had a few songs that it just didn't want to play too.
I tried out everything, but the only thing that helped me was to take the 4 songs that weren't working, change them from .mp3 into .wav and then changing them back to .mp3 again. That new .mp3 file worked 🙂

Try converting the songs that are skipping to AAC format and re-sync your iPod.

Chances are you have songs that were ripped with another software that is not compatible with iTunes....

I had this problem when I first got my 3G and that's what I had to do....works GREAT now...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think it is my iPod because different songs would skip and the skipping got continually worse. I erased all the songs then imported another playlist so far so good. If the iPod is defective and I don't have a receipt can I get it replaced? How long is the Apple Warranty on it?
