3rd gen iPod locks up as soon as i play any song
I've had this pod for about 4 days, this is the first problem with it. This is what happens:
I load songs onto the pod using Ephpod, unmount it, goto browse - > artists - > whatever artist - > album - > then I pick any song. I press the enter button on the iPod and it loads the song. It shows the Name / length but doesn't start. It just FREEZES. It's like the iPod can't find the song but has the info on it.
After it freezes, somehow it restarts itself. After that happens it brings me back to the regular menu, and when I try to do it again same problem.
I've tried to reset it while it was in the docking bay but that doesn't help.
How the hell can I correct this? I'm going bonkers.

I have exactly the same problem. I am currently preparing to restore the thing as a last ditch attempt.
It really is very frustrating!! Can anyone help?

I still haven't figured this problem out. I've tried restoring, updating firmware. I'm starting to think that it's defective.
