iPod skipping song endings...

this is weird, and just started to happen today

my ipod will play a song, but skip the last ten seconds and go from there to the next song, and play until the last ten or so seconds and move on. like it was the end of the track, but even the timer on the pod says that theres ten seconds left but just goes to the next song

i just restored my pod, we'll see if that has any effect, time to upload my library again,

any other suggestions?

ok well the restore seemed to work, for now at least

but its a hassle to do, has any one else had this happen to them?
any other ways to fix this??

yeah i have always had my fade at zero, but does that even carry over to the ipod??

ok so now it happens to some songs, but not others, and the songs are fine in iTunes

the iPod isnt near full yet, but it has been filled before with no problems, all the files are either 128 AAC or 192 MP3, so im at a loss really to explain whats wrong

are there any other ways to reset the iPod that might work??

do you have a fourth or third gen ipod? mine is third, and just out of apple care now

i think im going to do a restore again, and let it upload all the songs before i give it a try

let me know if you figure anything out
