My iPod (after I transferred my music from my work comp to my home comp) now has what I call digital scratch noises... I can't really describe it, but a lot of my music for some reason has like weird digital scratching noises here and there... and it is repeatable at the same time on a song, so I think it's not the ipod... but why would everything be ok when I was syncing to my work computer but when I brought it to my home computer and resynced it would it create these noises in my music. Also, on a couple of songs, near the end of the song (like 20 secs to go), the music stops (I can still press menu and use it) but after about 5 seconds, the iPod reboots... its the stranges f'ing thing i've seen. Any freaking ideas? Please? I've only noticed it on two song so far and it IS repeatable.

All as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as Love.

I've had that problem with bad or slow syncing. I usually had to either resync or recopy the song again.

In your case, if that is what it is, just recopying the music over againg and resyncing the ipod may fix it. Actually, if you do this I would wipe out the ipod and let it transfer the music back again.

I don't know how many songs you have but i fully understand that if you have a lot it could suck.

See, to me it sounds like some kinda sound effect from the Matrix... while the matrix is cool, that sound effect during a song is not...

22gb is a lot of music. I would suggest you take a song, or several, that you know has the sound in it and redo what you did in the first place. This time make sure that you do nothing else on the computer at all while doing this. It sounds weird but i have had probelsm form just listening to a song in the computer while transferring other songs to the ipod.
