Have you tried to play files that played OK before?\nHave you downloaded anything since being able to correctly play a file?\nAre you playing a new file?\nHave you altered anythin on your PC since being able to play a file?\nHave you tried the file on a different PC?

What software are you trying to use to burn the CD? It could be that the song has a method of copywrite protection on it and the sofware will not allow you to burn it.

go to the sync mode and turn off the format conversion\n\nTools> Options> Devices> Advanced\n\nand uncheck "allow audio files to convert in the background" so they won't be converted into wmas.\n\n\nand for the dude 2 below me, mp3s are unprotected and don't have licenses, and there are unprotected wmas.  only protected wmas do.

It is probably because your songs are either too long, or the quality is extremely good. Normally, an iPod (say 1 GB) should hold a lot more than 29 songs. Play those mp3s on Windows media player to check out how many k bits/second it plays at. If it is anything higher than 192, i suggest you change it as the quality is probably way too high. Though try not going under 128 or it may sound staticy. Otherwise, there is no easy way to compress the songs and keep the quality.

Your music isnt on the cpu! Its on the hard drive! Take it to someone who knows what to do before you lose it all!

you may have burned it to a cr-rw instead of a cd-r or you may have copied the files directly to a cd instead of using windows media player or itunes to burn a music cd

Yea its a good time to reboot. I had that happen to me manyyyyy times. If the music plays when you open it, and if theres a button to "stop" the music, then it will work if you go back to the music file and hit the stop button and then if you close the window, it should still have stopped.\n\nIf you reboot, it will go away.

Go to http://www.itunes.com and download it again.  Sometime it's just dumb like that and it won't work.  Make sure you downloaded the Windows version and try again.  If that doesn't work....then you're S.O.L.

It might be problem with the syncronisation of the music. But if you are unable to connect the ipod then you might need to reset the ipod. I have done this few times with ipod video.\n\nAlways remember to save the music to pc as backup.

If you use it alot, you might try cleaning the player. You can get a cleaner at most electronics stores.

Try reinstalling your original Windows Media Player.  If that doesn't work you may try to download another version of the Windows Media Player which should include the proper codecs needed to function correctly.
