How to fix an ipod that freezes when you play music?

Question

I have an ipod and customer support wont help without 50 bucks for a phone call, but when I attempt to play music it will play all the songs fine, but when I try and change to some songs it randomly stops and freezes at the screen when it plays. That screen will stay there for hours untill the battery dies and then works fine after I recharge it. Any ideas before I take a hammer to it?

Hammered one of them due to hard drive failure. :) that felt damn good. Now the other Photo was fixed with the toggle, I have the latest firmware for it, so if this one goes im done with apple untill i get another paycheck. Thanks for the help
