Apple Inc.’s iPod started as an MP3 player, but gradually grew to perform a variety of tasks, such as browsing the Internet, playing videos and browsing images and other digital media. The iPod line now offers a variety of models, but they all run a similar system designed for audio playback. Occasionally an iPod may skip tracks, causing certain songs on your playlist to remain unplayable. This skipping can be the result of a number of possible errors, but most can be remedied without any need for technical assistance. Writer Bio
