Pauses after a few seconds???

Hello,

We bought our daughter a Ipod for Christmas and have a question. I tried to call Apple but ws told to call back later...so I thought I would try here.

Everytime she starts to play a song, it pauses automatically after just a few seconds. It will not play even half of a song. Is there a setting or somthing that need to be changed?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
