      Have your iPod out with the frozen screen. Make sure it's stopped responding by pressing the play/pause button and wait a couple seconds. Patiences is a virtue.

      Still not working? Press and hold the center button and menu button at the same time for 5-10 seconds.

      You should see your ipod restart and go back to the main menu. If this hasn't happened try step 2 again. Make sure you're pressing both of the buttons at the same time.

      If none of this works you can also let your iPod battery run out. When you plug it in to a charger or your computer it should sync properly and begin to play again.
