I've had my gen2 10GB iPod since they were first available for Windows, coming up on a year.
I've just started having an odd problem with certain songs: when I try to play one particular album, the iPod fast forwards through most of the album, and will only play one particular song on the album. If I try to pause it while it is fast forwarding through the other songs, the iPod freezes and I have to reset.
Similar problems have been mentioned on these boards occasionally, e.g. http://www.ipodlounge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4668 . But usually, the problems have been general, not just involving one particular album.
I am using ephPod to synch the iPod with a Windows XP machine.
I've tried various suggestions I've seen on these boards, especially changing the iPod preferences to write to music directories from F00-F19, then erasing the whole iPod and loading it afresh--but nothing worked. I also examined the mp3 files in Tag & Rename, but couldn't seen anything wrong with the files that the iPod won't play.
Any further suggestions?
