    The most likely cause is a worn-out battery in the iPod.  If the iPod is under warranty (less than one-year from purchase) or AppleCare (extended warranty), you should take it to an Apple Store's Genius Bar, or other Apple-certified tech.

    Actually, one thing you may want to try is an alternate method of charging.  If you happen to have a USB power adapter (like the one that comes with iPhone or iPad or other device), try charging your iPod from it (instead of computer's USB port).  Is there any difference?
