My iPod is being weird and not playing music?

I just got it a few days ago and I have about 250 songs on it so far. I was listening to it for a while on shuffle and I was skipping a lot of songs and suddenly it stopped playing and went to the main screen. Now when I try to play any song it goes to the playing screen for a moment, then switches back.

It's an iPod nano. The battery is almost fully charged. Everything else works fine, it's just that the music won't work. Thanks!

Update:

Thanks you guys for all your answers! I just plugged it in last night and charged it for a while, then it worked fine. I just don't want it to happen again...

    It is possible that the iPod you bought had a small mechanical flaw that disabled it from playing music after the random skipping. I think you should give it a rest, charge it up, and restart it. If this does not help, seek out the warranty that came with the iPod.

    Best of luck.

    try plugging your ipod back to itunes.. then click restore.. make sure you have back up files for it..then try dragging all the songs back to your ipod.. try clicking your ipods setting then click reset.. if all of these didnt work.. have it checked by someone from apple..
