iPod not playing some certain songs?

I noticed recently that my iPod touch (4th gen, 8 gb) simply will not play certain songs. I downloaded Foo Fighters greatest hits and High and Dry by Radiohead. The Radiohead song and some of the Foo Fighters songs would show up on my iPod but wouldn't play. I tried skipping to different parts of the song, but it still would not work. I tried playing it on my iPad Mini, which worked. By the way, it was all downloaded legitimately from iTunes, not a CD. Thanks.

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Unsync/delete all music and resync/redownload the music

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
