Ipod wont play some tunes

Question

I can't play some tunes on my ipod, any ideas?

Answer 1

I had this problem  too, through screwing around I learned this.  Sometimes, only AAC versions play on an Ipod.  What I did was, delete the songs that didn't play from my playlists.  Then I went into the songs portion of my Itunes library  and right clicked on the song that did not previously play.  After right clicking and getting a drop down menu,  I clicked on create AAC version.  A copy of that song then appeared below the original.  After the AAC version was created the copy changed from a light  black  title to a full black title and the Itunes library gave  me that "bling" sound effect.  I then played the AAC copy to see if it was a true copy, it was, so I put the AAC version back onto my playlist.  I then installed my Ipod shuffle, and also tried on my Nano and synced.  The songs that previously did  not play now did play.  I then deleted the original copy in the songs list and kept the AAC version.  (Don't know if deleting the original was a good  idea or not, but did not want two copies of the songs, and didn't notice a difference in quality.  Maybe Neil Young would notice but I couldn't . Good luck, and try out the Groovelectric podcast on Itunes.  Peace out.
