Has anyone else experienced this same problem?

Whenever I press the menu, forward, back, play and pause buttons my ipod does what the middle button is supposed to do. When I press Menu it won't take me to the menu. When I press play or pause it won't play or pause. When I press forward or back it won't go to the previous song or the next song. All it does is do the thing where you can skip through the song or it comes up with the rate stars. I don't know what caused it. I was just listening to a song one day, pressed forward, it didn't go to the next song, had a look at the screen and thats when it started doing this. I need to know if anyone else has experienced this problem and how to fix it because its really annoying me. Thank you

First step is to do a reset on the iPod.
I am not sure if this is the same for the Mini, but for later iPods... Slide the hold switch from OFF to ON back to OFF then immediately hold down BOTH the center and Menu buttons for a good 15-30 seconds or until it restarts with the Apple logo.
Resetting isn't always effective once and you may need to retry it several times to get it to work.
If you reset and you still have an issue, you may want to next attempt a Restore of the iPod.
