Very true...I did try rebooting...apparently the way you reboot a 3rd Gen (Holding Play & Menu). Holding Select & Menu rebooted it and now I'm good to go ) Thanks!

i had the EXACT same problem. i had to wait until the battery died. NOTHING else worked, after that it worked OK, sometimes now though it resets itself now and then ?

so did you lose all your songs or rebooting doesn't do that?

reformat or restore will clear your HD...reboot is just restarting it.
