Ok, I'll start with the fact that i have another post on this forum somewhere down the line, with my problem of songs not playing on my iPod. Certain songs, (a lot of them) i will try to play, and as i start them i feel a distinct vibration and hear clicks from the hard drive, then, nothing. The song wont play, and it will be stuck on 0:00.
So, I called up apple and went through all the steps to get them to send me a box to send in to them to have a look at it. Well, i send it in and a week or so later i receive it back with some papers and stuff, with a note that said: "no problems detected." Shit... so take it out of the box, re import all my songs back onto my ipod, and what do you know, i have the same exact problem.
I decide to drive to San Francisco (the closest apple store) which is about an hour and a half drive. I arrive and head upstairs at the Genius bar (actual name, btw) and the guy takes my ipod, wipes everything off it, loads 1 single song and after sees it playing, tells me my ipod is just fine. Though he did tell me that ripping my cds using windows media player puts drm on every file and guesses that that is why half of my songs aren't playing, even though i made sure to mention that the same exact files were used on various other ipods including the same exact model of my own (80 gb) and played fine.
So, am i screwed here? or is there some problem that im not going about in the correct way? Thanks for listening to my rant/story, and i would greatly appreciate any help anyone has to offer, thanks in advance.
