Re: MP3 not synced

When I press back, it goes back to the buggy song then skips right back
to the song after it.
It skips the same song when I browse into the artist/album as well as
when I load it from the playlist.
Preserve file names is off, defrag? I'll give that a shot. 

If that doesn't work, then as Brendan suggested, it might be a corrupt
file. I tried deleting it off the iPod and manually syncing just that
song, but got the same effect.
This is a "rare" MP3 so no luck in getting another copy of this track,
so I guess trying to decompress into .WAV and recompress back into
192kbps MP3 might be in order. Any recommended programs?

What happens if you press the Back button after it has skipped the song?

Does the iPod play the song then? It just skips the first song when you 
manually pick a playlist/song? What firmware version are you using? 
There used to be a bug in firmware versions 1.2 (1.1?) thru 1.2.5 which 
caused this behaviour, due to a low hd spinup time or something like
that. 
I had 1.2.6 short time, but I think they fixed it there. And definitely
it's 
(mostly) fixed on 1.3.

Go to the archive and search for "skip songs" for some related posts.

Some things that may (or may not) help:

  - Use folders F00 .. F19 on your iPod
  - Let EphPod rename your files on the iPod to short names (i.e. don't 
preserve filenames).
  - Defrag the iPod.
