My 5th Generation IPod Touch sometimes plays a song NOT in the current playlist. Is there any way to correct this issue? I don't want to listen to Christmas music in July.
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6

Thanks, I'll try that in the morning. It's going to take awhile since I've got nearly 8,000 songs loaded on the IPod and that will take some time to sync after I reset the device and delete the songs from the IPod. I won't know if that fixes my problem for some time since the odd music was only popping up once in awhile.
Thanks again!
HELP!! Now that I followed those instructions, when I try to play the IPod, it just keeps scanning through the songs but never plays them. It's like it's searching for something.
Did you do this:
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If yo restored from backup there could be corruption that is not in the backup causing the problem.
I thought I did, but I'm re-doing everything now. If that doesn't work, I guess I could Restore the IPod and just start over. The only thing I use it for is to play the music, and I could basically start over as if I just bought it.
Okay, I must have done something wrong the first time. It seems to be working now. At least it's playing the music and we haven't gotten any Christmas stuff yet.
Thanks so much for your help.
