Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. Recently i have noticed that my semi-new ipod has been developed many problems.

1. when i try to play certain songs...it seems to freeze then skips to the next song...freezes and does this untill it finds a song to play.

2. when i connect it to the docking station to play through my stereo the errors above increase.

3. on some songs, all of a sudden the ipod will stop working...not freeze just sort of skip...then play again.

I have tried restoring my ipod to factory defults but no such luck. Does anyone know if i can take it into apple and have them fix it or replace it for free? i bought it in july of 04 so i don't know if im still covered.
