My nano won't play .GIF files! How can i fix this?

My iPod Nano displays all of the supported picture files except for the .GIF's
Is there something I must do to enable the viewing of a .GIF file or does it just not support it? (although everywhere I've looked it sais it is)

I have a Black 4GB iPod Nano, connected to a Windows XP with iTunes 6.0
Please Help!!!

iPod Nano 4 GB Windows XP

Welcome to the discussions, Josh.

Is it an animated .GIF? If so, maybe that's why it's not showing.

Thank you Kyn.
yes its an animated GIF
the GIF shows up as a regular picture, but no animation occurs.
By your post, I'm assuming the iPod does not play GIFS, but lets you just look at it as a regular picture?

Correct. I haven't tried using animated GIF's myself, but since they weren't EXPLICITLY listed on the site, I just figured they didn't work.
