Songs from itunes store not playing

Hey, this is not a problem with my ipod, but with my friends moms mini. She has downloaded some songs from the itunes music store and has them on her ipod now. The first time she went to play them on her ipod they played through normally just like any other song, but the second time she went to play them they wouldn't play at all and it would just skip right through to the next song. It doesn't matter if you use the seek buttons, pause the ipod before selecting the song, or seeking through the song it just goes right on to the next song that was not downloaded through iTunes. I have refreshed the ipod (or whatever its called when you flick the hold switch and then hold the select and menu button) and it did not work. I would restore it, but i figured i would ask here before because of the hassle of putting all the songs back on it. I have never herd of this before and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is what I can tell you. Originally when I bought the songs, they worked. Now they stopped. Since they stopped, I have been through the posts and have the following:

I have 900+ plus songs in my Library. 53 of them were purchaed. I have reset and restored my ipod, deactivated and reactivated my computer, and still no go. The songs title and artist show up on my iPod, but when you go to play it, it skips right over to the next song... I even deleted my itunes library and created a new one thinking it might be corrupt...still the same problem...all songs play just fine in Itunes. In fact, I can even burn the purchased songs to a CD. The problem is, although the name and artist transfer over, and when looking at my Ipod in Itunes, it reflects all of my music, including the purchased songs, they will not play on my ipod

bbarton,

As the forum Hosts will need to gather info for the
Apple engineers, can you be more specific as to what
didn't work?

Did the free single of the week not play in the new
user account you created, or was it just the iPod it
didn't play on?

If it did play correctly, did you recreate the
library as previously suggested and the songs still
skip?

As much detail as you can provide please.

Well, you are luckier than I am - because I am having the same problem, except NONE of my purchased music will play. Every single song that I have bought from iTunes will NOT play at all - it just skips right over them. I have tried every suggestion that they have offered here - multiple times - and nothing is working.

It is completely frustrating - because I HATE not being able to listen to my music.
