Q: ipod classic does not play new added songs

Hi, here my situation and my problem

- ipod classic 80GB: free space 12GB

- added 50 songs into ITUNES (standard mp3 as usual)

- sync process done & new songs available into the iPod

 

Then, when I try to play these new songs, iPod immediatly skips them and plays the first available song synchronised in the past.

 

Thank you

Pluk

iPod classic, Windows 7

    If these songs play fine in iTunes, the iPod may have data corruption.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes.  This erases iPod and sets it to default "factory" condition.  The Restore button is on iPod's Summary settings screen in iTunes.  A data corruption issue is resolved (if there's no hardware problem).

     

    After the Restore, you may want to only sync these new songs to iPod, to confirm they now play normally.  You can create a new "Test" playlist, add these songs, and set it to Sync Music with just this one playlist selected for syncing.  If they play normally on iPod, set up syncing for Entire music library (if that's how you had it set before).

    thank you, by trail and error I solved my problem.

    Converting files from mp3 into AAC and running the sync again, the ipod is able to play the new ones.
