Ipod / what would you do question?

Question

Last year around July I bought an Ipod. Around December I was listening to this band on random and it started going crazy skipping song to song. It wouldnt stop skipping songs, wouldnt let me pause or anything.

I took it to Mac they tried to fix it and had to give me a refurbished one because it was f***ed. Around March of this year I was at work listening to the SAME band on random and it happened AGAIN....it took me a while to go get it fixed by that time my warranty had expired :(

Im thinking the band I was listening to had a corrupt file cuz I downloaded those songs.I wanna get a new ipod but Im scared to spend 300$ and have it happen again. I have over 1000 songs and it could possibly be ANY of those.

What should I do ?

Answer 1

First, make sure the ipod wasn't near any magnetic interference or anything external that might have messed it up

Next, convert the files you think might have a problem (or burn to CD and rip/import them or analog record them) and use the converted files in place of the originals. This should get rid of any errors in it.

Answer 2

you should NOT get an iPod, they are ****, when i saved three hundred dollars i bought an iPod 20GB video and it was very dissapointing, i returned it and got this http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/zen... best choice i ever made, iPods become vegetables after about a year, a zen will last forever. iPods dont play WMAs while the zen does, WMAs take half as much memory as MP3s. so yes the zen holds twice as much as an iPod, plus it comes with more memory for less money, its alot more then twice as much. plus creative doesn't force you to use itunes. you can just open the "my computer" window and drag and drop any file you want and the zen will play it flawlessly. when i had an iPod, there was always something wrong with it, almost none of my files were compatible, you have to buy multiple expensive programs to make some files compatible. and plus the customer service ignores you when you call. the zen also has FM radio while the iPod doesn't. the creative customer service is great, not that i've ever had to call for this product. customer service from apple just constantly tells you to buy more and more programs by quicktime, it never ends and you just fork over more and mroe money. for a product you will have to replace in a few months. apple sucks, get a creative.

please trust me, i am the one perosn you should listen to about this subject, i dealing with these things is my life.

Answer 3

I have an ipod nano and it has alot of problems especially the headphones they are crap to be honest. but it depends because it could be a corrupt file or even a virus or something were did you download the song from? if it was itunes then it shoudlnt if like me you download from places like limwire theres always a risk of a corrupt file or virus

Answer 4

Delete the song. Buy the cd. Buy a new mp3 player (sony makes good ones too) and stop downloading illegally. It's called karma.

Answer 5

1.try connecting a new headphones becouse headphones can **** up some devices
