iPod Nano Issues

Hello all,

I have the 8GB iPod nano (current, I believe) and I'm having a couple of issues with it.

Issue 1: Scrolling alphabetically through songs - I don't know when or how this happened but now song titles beginning with "the" do not show up under "T" - the song "The Sound of Silence" now comes under S in between "Soulful Strut" and "Special" in iTunes AND on my iPod nano. This wouldn't be that annoying if when I scrolled through letters it didn't go A, B, T, D, E, T, T, T, H (do you get the picture?). This appears to be new. I never noticed it before and certainly would have.

Issue 2: There is one song on my iPod nano that just won't play. That would be alright if it was a corrupted file or something but the song (Slide - Goo Goo Dolls ... it's a must have) was purchased from iTMS and plays perfectly on my computer. It always either freezes my iPod nano or does something else that's unkosher when I try to play it after about 10 seconds.

I tried to rectify this by doing a master reset of the device and then replacing all of my music back on to it. When I reset the device, it asked me if I'd like to update it with the new software or reset it with the current software. I chose the new software. This did not seem to fix the issue.

Does anybody know what I should do? I think the scrolling thing might be an iTunes issue rather than an iPod issue - was it recently updated when I did not notice? The song I could always spend a dollar to redownload, but that would be annoying. Thanks for your help in advance.

 

Thanks on the second one - but if that's meant to be a feature, why am I the only one complaining about it?
