Ok not really. But it does this really irritating thing.

On some tracks (and it regularly did it on one track before I removed it) it makes this low growling digital clipping sound that is open voweled sounding (no mystery there, without a tongue it can't make consonants) and fairly irritating. Lasts about 10 seconds, regardless of the actual length of the mp3.

Anyone know of this being a regular issue? Is it just data corruption, or is it a bad disk? This is a replacement iPod from the previous, where the hard drive died. It was under warranty.

So I can't write it off to jus that one iPod being crap, and It doesn't seem to have rhyme or reason on the files outside that one file from before.

Ideas?


ETA: one more thing: during this irritating sound, the control wheel is unresponsive.
 
Stop filling it up with porn:

"The degree to which the adult industry adopts iPod or PSP content is going to be an important factor in how the market grows for mobile video," Yankee Group senior analyst Mike Goodman told MacNewsWorld. "The porn industry makes new markets -- entirely new markets, time and time again. When they adopt it, that market grows."

I had a track in my Ipod mini go corrupt...It was just a fluttering sound. I'm told that deleting it and replacing it will repair the file but as I prefer the obnoxious fluttering sound to the crappy song I have left it as is.
 
I've had a quick hunt around for you, and many people who report stuttering subsequently find that their ipod starts getting upset (scroll down a bit to iPod Disk Drama). So it does sound like it could be a hard disk problem. Just because you've had one go bad before doesn't mean another one can't!

Dunno what the solution is - try wiping the iPod and reloading it, possibly? It may force it to check the disk and sort out any bad sectors. Assuming it has that sort of capability. Or, it may be possible to mount it as a hard drive on your computer and check it that way. (Or it may not)
