Is the crash reproducible (e.g. a certain song)? Or just random?

Random. I'm going to get all my songs off and reformat and see if that fixes it.

Do you have DiskWarrior? If so, try running it and see what results you get. I use it on my iPods every couple of months and I used it on my new Mini (and my g/f's new Mini) as they were both showing about 20%.
If not, try and run Disk Utility on it and see if that helps any.

I've run DiskWarrior on it and it still crashes. I'm going to play with it more and see if it still does it after my restore. If so I'm going to see if I can get it replaced from Apple.

My 4g 20gb crashes too. It is random and you cannot make it crash, ie if it crashes starting a certain song, you can restart and try to play that song again and it will work. I have been to the apple store and they keep insisting one or more of my songs are corrupt....meh, thats not it. I just installed the new 3.0.1 update, lets see if it is fixed....

So far I seem to have fixed it. What I did was and it was a real PAIN IN THE ASS was getting the songs off my iPod then restoring it then putting the songs back on it. I also updated to 3.0.1. HOpefully that will fix it.

I have a 2G 20Gb ipod, which although being over 2 years old, it still runs like a champ. However, this last week it has begun crashing numerous times a day. It is not reproducible, sometimes it will go for over an hour, other times not even for a whole song, and I usually listen to the same playlist, so it is not the songs on the ipod. In all the time I've had my ipod it has crashed maybe 2x, and now in the last week I think I am up to over 20-30x.
However, I was thinking back on what changed this past week, and I remembered that I installed the 3.01 update, and I'm thinking that while it helps the newer ipods, it somehow has caused mine to become unstable, so is there any way to backdown my ipod to an older version?
Do I just use the updater to restore to factory default, or is the system version part of the firmware that is not affected by a harddrive format? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You cannot install the 3.0.1 update on a 2g ipod. You can download the updater from software update but when you run it, the updater will tell you that you're ipod is up to date, because it is running 1.4 which is the latest for 2g pods.....
