My Ipod touch 5 deletes or looses music

Since the new iOS 7 two updates my ipod touch 5th gen RED deletes music I have added. It doesnt delete all the songs, but it deletes music recently added music. the music ive noticed is usually songs i have in chinese or russian and just today it deleted regular music. this is so annoying?! can anyone help? the music shows up when i connect the ipod to my itunes except its unplayable and theres an exclamation mark on it. In my ipod though the music is just missing. Ive tried accesing my files thru a third party program but even there the songs are unplayable.

The exclamation mark means that the actual music file can't be found.

In iTunes on the computer delete the song(s) for itnes andreimport or redownload
