Nano resetting at Music Menu

I added some songs to my iPod nano today, but after I ejected it (properly, from iTunes) my nano will reset whenever I access the Music menu. It does not reset at any other menu. I did many "resets" of my own, updated the software to 1.1.1, and still, no dice. The music will PLAY fine if I hit play, but if I try to go back to the main Music menu, again, a reset.

Any advice before I restore?

G4, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

A restore would be the next logical step.

Mine is doing the EXACT same thing, and happened in the same order as with you. (Ipod nano, bought in december, used VERY carefully ever since) I really don't want to redo the whole thing, so I removed Music from my main menu and put playlists and artists (the only 2 things I use within music) on it...but I wish it wouldn't!
Did you find a way to fix this?

"I really don't want to redo the whole thing"

What does this mean?

"Did you find a way to fix this?"

The OP marked the question as answered with a solved star next to my post. From this, we have to assume that the restore solved the problem.

I'm sorry, I had never used this before, and didn't understand that the star indicated the original poster had deemed the subject solved. My "redo" the whole thing, I meant lose all of my music and photos and have to reload them. I didn't know if there was any other alternative, or why it had suddenly decided to do that, or if it would continue resetting.
Thank you

Well, whilst i don't have an answer as to why this should happen, I can tell you that a restore isn't really that big of a deal. It's quite a common fix for iPod ills.

It shouldn't take too long to reload all your music etc. Depending on the size of your library of course.

Sometimes you need to restore the iPod to cure an unexplained (and minor) software glitch.

However, if you constantly needed to restore, then would indicate a more serious issue.
