Corrupt album crashes iPod, how can I remove it?

Question

I have a BIG problem with one of the albums on my iPod. It has somehow corrupted and everytime it tries to play a track it crashes the iPod. I know thanks to Apple being paranoid I can't physically remove it by going "into" the iPod. But is there a way to actually remove all the tracks (42 of them) from my iPod or do I have a piece of junk that will crash everytime it hits that album?

Sorry, no idea what that means.
There are several methods of deleting songs/albums from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs/albums on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs/albums in iTunes. Next time you connect the iPod, the songs/albums will be deleted from there also.
Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.
