dumb little ipod question

[nickg1532]

i couldn't find any specific answers at their website, and don't feel like waiting til tomorrow to call. so, if anyone is familiar with the following problem and a potential solution, let me know.

anyways, quite a while ago i bought 10 or so songs off of itunes, and put them on the ipod. they worked fine for about a month, but then one day the songs stopped playing. i mean, the song titles come up on the screen, but it goes silent for a second or two, and then automatically skips to the next song. this only happens to the songs i bought from itunes; all others work fine.

anyways,let me know if you have any ideas. thanks.
