How to Fix iPod Music
If you are a frequent downloader of material from the iTunes store, then you have no doubt experienced the frustration that comes with downloading a corrupted file, and having it appear in your iPod's music list. You may think you are going to hear a great song, but instead all you get is an error message. Although you may be tempted to suck it up, call Apple support, and wait an hour and a half for the possibility of a refund, there is a way to get a fresh, uncorrupted download--without having to pay for it. Once you have downloaded the new file, you can re-sync it with your iPod.
