IPod ends song before complete

IPod ends song before complete

I have an IPod 80GB fresh out of the box. When I play song list or shuffle the songs end early (sometimes within 10 seconds) and switch to nect song. I tried reset and restoreing all songs and it still occurs. Using I-tunes 7.01 and all songs are protected AAC 128kb download froms Itunes. Any help would be appreciated.

HP, Windows XP

Perhaps this is related to your problem, or perhaps not, but worth checking anyway...

This approach helps for a while then othe songs start having the same issue. I have tried the 5Rs and it just results in different songs truncating. About to send in for service. Has anyone else been able to resolve? I see lot's of post with same issue but no resolutions.

My theory is that the 8GB Nano often has defective positions in its flash memory. Any song that is stored using one of these defective memory positions is simply truncated when the Nano plays the song to that point. The same song usually plays perfectly if the song storage sequence is changed during next sync. This will happen if new songs are added, existing songs are deleted, or the name of existing song(s) are changed. I am not sure if the other Nanos have this same defect or not.

My issue is with the 80GB 5th generation model. Maybe it has the same issue. I am not sure it is the iPod, QuickTime or iTunes. I have found many posts of iPods working fine until the upgrade to iTunes 7 and its compliment of Quicktime.
