Some songs transfer, some won't, no rhyme or reas

Question

Likeit says, I recently traded uh... "up", from a Zen touch to a Zen Vision:M, they both seem to have thisweird, sometimes a track will transfer, sometimes it won't, and the GUI freezes up on the stuch transfer box. Only occasionally will it give them the grace of a error box with the "transfer could not be completed due to an unknown error" (for the Touch), and the new "...because of a thread exit or application request" for the visionThese are just files I've encoded myself no stings attached, files I've downloaded, and any other kind, and it seems the same. I don;t see why it keep choking on them. Once they're in there, they work fine, but I'm down to reansferring them one at a time, and praying each one works...
and once it's got into it's mind that it won;t take a file, no amount of renaming/retagging/RE ENCODING will make it change its mind. If I use format, it *might* take it. but I'm still playing the roulettewheel that it will or won;t with any given file.. Odd, they transfer to the player's data folder fine, just not into music
Any help?

Answer 1

let's just doublecheck some things quickly. do any of the affected songs play in itunes at the moment? if so, when you play them, do they ask to be authorised?
if so, does the authorisation go through successfully, or do you get an error message? (if you get an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
if the authorisation seems to go through successfully, with the authorised songs sync to the ipod?
