Funky Ipod Issue

[Juice Box]

Got a refurb ipod due to the fact that my other one died. Loaded it up with my tunes and when i go to play these 2 songs they are messed up. The first one gets cut off with a min left in the song, and the other one (which is the next song on the album) stops after about 2 min into it. Ive tried taking them off and re-transfering, but the same thing happens. I also tried restoring the ipod and resetting everything, with no luck. Granted there could be other songs that do the same thing...these two are the only ones that have so far.

If you care, the songs are

Sigur Ros - Untitled 3
Sigur Ros - Untitled 4

Both off the ( ) album

For reference, its a 4th Gen U2 ipod, and the songs are .m4a

WTF?!

Are they VBR encoded?

I think he has a 3rd gen, that isn't an issue on those. In fact I have the same album on mine and it's fine.

I have a 4th gen and certain VBR-encoded MP3s will cut off mid-song.

Yep, but that doesn't happen on 3rd gens.
