My iPod keeps messing up. The songs that are one my "top rated" playlist disappear, all but a few of them. I go to give them 5 stars again, but the 5 stars are still there. But the songs are not on the playlist. This has happened more than once. What gives? THanks.

I'm not quite sure. Does your problem lie with a 'Smart Playlist' featuring your highest rated songs? If so, make sure you are following these steps:

Choose File > New Smart Playlist.
To have iTunes add songs that match specific criteria, make sure "Match the following condition" is checked, then make your selections from the pop-up menus.

For example, you might want iTunes to only add songs that are by a particular artist, or songs with at least a four-star rating.


To add additional matching criteria, click the Add (+) button.

To make the playlist a specific duration or size, select "Limit to" and make your selections from the pop-up menus.
To include only songs that have a checkmark beside them in your library (and that match your conditions), select "Match only checked songs."
To have iTunes continually modify your Smart Playlist as songs are added to or removed from your library, make sure "Live updating" is selected.
To create your Smart Playlist, click OK, then name the playlist in the Source list.

If you already have the smart playlist, you can change it with the following steps:

Select the Smart Playlist in the Source list. (Smart Playlists have a gear icon.)
Choose File > Edit Smart Playlist, and then make your changes in the window that appears.

I think that it may be something else, as it comes back to the songs that I had on the "top rated" playlist by itself. THey dissapear, and then come back. It is like it is some kind of bug in the software. But I may be completely wrong.
