Random songs no longer play on ipod touch but still play on itunes

Recently transferred iTunes library from old PC to new PC then synced with ipod touch. Sync was successful but recently random songs - some bunt from CDs, some purchased from iTunes - no longer play on the ipod but still play in tunes. Is there a fix?

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

To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All 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.
