My ipod has been weird for like 4 months now but it just finally exploded. ill make a list of all things that have been gay on it:

-only ipod earbuds and miraculously skullcandy headphones truely work and it doesnt randomly pause. everything else it always pauses.

-when its cold out and im skiing with it and i have just charged the battery full, it loses its battery after about half an hour and when it warms up its fine but theres no point in bringing it anymore.

-at certain times it wont turn on and ill have to reset it, but theres no pattern, just random.

- and finally, when i was at the hill and i was warming it up in the lodge i kept trying to see if it would turn on and then it would show the apple sign and then show the battery is dead sign and this repeated about 10 times until the apple logo was on the screen for about 5 minutes and then it turned on with half battery life and guess what?! EVERY SONG AND PLAYLIST WAS GONE! FUCK YEAH! now it does the whole complete reboot of the ipod thing whenever i turn it on. so i sent it in... DOPE.

ipods are the fucking shittiest hardware i ever have had the displeasure of using. seriously, i don't know one person who has an ipod who hasn't had problems with it. as popular as they are, you think that apple would permanently do something about it.

i have never had any problems with my ipod. The battery will go down in anything if its too cold, it freezes quick on the hill. You just gotta put like a hand warmer in ur pocket with it, or like put it in a glove or something

first off any battery dies when its cold do some reserch i don't know the exact reason but it just happens just keep the ipod in a pocket up against your body my friend has stiched a pocket in his long underwear so his body heat keep it warm

the earbuds thing maybe you ipod was just fucked everyone i know uses differnt earphones in there ipod works fine

the last thing its something like you hold the middle button and play/pause for a while and it removes everything this is for if you get something in your ipod that can't be removed

what i always do with my ipod when i ride so it doesnt freeze is put it in my sports bra, stays nice and toasty there. but i guess you dont really have that option. shitty dude.

I got mine new, then 2 days later it froze and stopped working, I sent it in, and 3 days later I had a brand new one. Yes, they have problems, but at leas they have a fast turn-around on replacement/repair

I've had mine for a year and haven't had any problems to date.  But then again, most of the time I just use it in my car.

wierd shit. I have had a 4 gig nano for a year and a half. using it pretty much everyday, and i have not had one issue with it. Not even the smallest glitch. I also have had a 60 gig video since July, and use it everyday in my car and have never had anything happen with it. maybe i am just lucky?

your battery problems are from the battery freezing and creating crystals inside it...all rechargeables are like that...notice the operating temps

Battery life in the cold has nothing to do with the ipod or apple at all.
My ipod works with all headphones
Get a nano, flash drive with no moving parts, it wonr freeze up on you
Ipods are the shit and no other mp3 player out there is better or even close, and that not just brand loyalty talkin, read reviews.

its because you are retarded and ride with an ipod with the old lithium battery in it. you have to do what i did and suck it up, i went and got the red 8 gig nano for riding and it kicks ass hard, i can ride with my mdr-v600 sony headphones which have way more bass than any skull candy and the battery lasts all day long, and it never ever shuts off. might be hard for some of you guys to justify but with how much i ride, its worth every penny!

It seems like everyone that has a Windows-formatted iPod has issues, and everyone that has the HFS filesystem on their iPod has no issues.
