new ipod classic freezes
my new ipod classic freezes when playing iquiz, it has a strange "peeeeeew" laser sound and sometimes the audio gets cut off.... could this be hardrive failure? I've had the ipod for 4 weeks... thanks

I wouldn't jump that far ahead just set. Have you tried resetting the iPod to see if that makes any difference? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Yeap, I had to do that when it froze 3 times when playing iQuiz... I can't play... there must be something wrong...
Have you done a full restore in iTunes yet as well to see if that clears it up?

mine is doing the same thing, and every once in a while it will not play some of the songs and ill restart it and it will be fine. sometimes it also has a red x on the screen.
Usually the red x is a sign of a damaged/dead hard drive. If you send it to Apple they won't actually repair it, but instead will do an out of warranty replacement for a flat fee. See this page for pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
A third party service may be less expensive and they'll actually just swap out the damaged part (the HD in this case). Google "iPod Classic hard drive repair" and you should get a list of options to work with.
As to whether or not it's worth to have it replaced/repair is up to you, your budget, and preferences.

Thanks for the answer... I think I'll wait a few more months to see if it gets worse before changing it...
cheers
