For no apparent reason my ipod will decide to pause itself in the middle of a song. I have no idea whats wrong its got nothing to do with the headphones coming out of the socket either. I was wondering if anyone has an ipod video with the same problem or if anyone knows how to fix this problem.

Serves you right for buying an ipod, over priced and under featured. Apple has the balls to make you buy things like a mic and case for something you already payed hundreds for, and why the hell don' t they add fm radio and direct encoding? Both are essential for mp3 players. I listen to the radio on my iRiver more then the songs I put on it, and half of my songs I have were bummed off of friends after I streamed them directely from their cd players to my iRiver (no computer used at all). iPods are like Porsches that are sold at full price but don' t include a steering wheel,engine, tires,seats,stereo system etc... I hate iPods.

I know this doesn' t help you but I couldn' t resist
