It’s funny how you mentioned the theory of U2 playing on your ipod more often than other bands (when on shuffle). I always hear Cheeseburger in Paradise whenever I put it on shuffle! HELP!

Since the previous post isn’t there to comment on and I don’t know if anyone already corrected you: The U2 edition iPod pictured is actually 5th generation (video), I have that iPod. There are 2 U2 iPods the 5th gen 30GB and a 4th gen (monochrome) 20GB.

And for the record I have 0 U2 songs on my U2 iPod, I just liked the colors and it was on clearance.

1. “Walk On”
2. “Where the Streets Have No Name”
3. Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds.

“In the Beginning” book.

1. Walk on

2. Where the Streets Have No Name

3. Just kept on pressing all of the buttons frantically to see if ANYTHING would get it to miraculously revive! AKA, Pure Dumb Luck!

Scatterbrained sounds interesting.

Walk on
Where the streets have no name
Taking it apart and turning it into a walet had to be the most helpful!

Hey, I remembered the songs, but you should know that if you read via RSS feed, you can still see the last entry in the cache!

Anyway, I don’t care to get a book (too much on my pile already!), but I’m enjoying your iPod story/dilemma. I also LOVE u2, and though I have never frozen on one of their songs, I have indeed frozen on others. Usually it’s the same song, and so I’ll delete it… well, after whacking the hell out of it to un-freeze it. Seems my U2 iPod loves to be abused every now and then. Kinky!

Generally, I think the iPod can be a bit finicky. Load too many songs at once, or remove it too quickly after “ejecting” it off iTunes, and it acts unhappy. Still love the damn thing, though. Ha!

1. Walk On
2. Where the Streets Have No Name
(both times happened at the gym)
3. Open the case, stick a folded piece of paper inside, close the case, and voila! (hey, it worked for me!)

I don’t know the first two, but did you fix the ipod by switching the hold button back and forth five times, then holding the menu and select button at the same time for twenty seconds? (It actually works a lot of the time!)
