ipod has shut off and only shows the apple logo and the loading screen for the past day

I was downloading a song from one of the ipod apps for illegal songs and it just stoped downloading so i restarted my ipod and it would turn back on but if i would try to go back into the app it would only push me out of it. so after restarting it a coupld more times just with the ipod it has resulted in not turning back on and remaining on the apple logo screen then to the loading screen. it wont turn on at all. i have charged it (or tried) for a whole night but the whole night it has remained on the two screen. i cant plus it into my computer because then i will lose all my music. i dont know what to do.?

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You will very very likely lose the contents on the iPod. That is the way it is .
