So my parents go to china and adopt my little sister and bring back 4 iPod nano knock off's and I (being the computer geek of the family) have to get them in working order to give to my 2 computer illiterate cousins and my mom.

They're very odd little players, I can sync it with windows media player, but it won't play the songs. I can put folders of music on there but it won't play anything but the two Gwen Stefani albums I put on there (both are ripped directly from the CD which might have something to do with it) and 1 mp3 file I put on there, but after I skip past the first song it'll play for a few seconds then say "File corrupt" and restart. It says it's 4 gig and so far I'm believing it.

I don't know if the firmware that comes on these is bad (it doesn't seem awfully well put together) but it'd be serviceable enough if I could get it to play something other than Gwen Stefani.

If you need any specific information on the type of player, I can post a pic.

I'd appreciate any help or advice you could give me.
