Anyone have one of these?
Notice random pausing while playing back music?
if so, how'd you fix it?

I think Apples policy when things of this nature happens is for you to "go buy a new one"
Ipods are like digital cameras, they cost less to replace than to repair. So if you can't reset it and get it working right, forget it.Mike

Well, I have never worked on an IPod but if it uses any BGA (Ball Grid Array) components (BGA referring to how the component is soldered to a PCB), then it is possible that you have a bad connection.
We have some notebooks that come in for service, for instance, that have a pausing problem. When you twist the machine just right, or press the top of the south bridge, the machine resumes.
If that is the problem, there are numerous solutions that range from adding pressure to the top of the BGA component (using foam rubber between the enclosure and the top of the chip, for instance). You can also heat the chip up using a heat gun (if you know what you're doing). Of if you know someone that reworks BGA assemblies (and has the right mask) they can do it for you.
More on BGA here:

Assuming your iPod Touch is still under warranty, then make an appointment with the resident Genius at the nearest Apple store. At worst, it will get changed out with a new one of the same size.
But first, try resetting it using the iPod Reset function in iTunes (click on the iPod icon in iTunes. Under the Summary tab you'll find a button to check for updates and another to reset the 'Pod to factory settings.)
If that doesn't work, try holding the play/pause button and the select button at the same time for about 10 seconds. IIRC, this will reboot the iPod.

My son had an iPod Mini that died after the warranty expired. He brought it back to the Apple store, and they allowed him to turn it in and get a refurbished, functioning unit for $60 (same model), which included a short-term warranty (I think 90 days). That was a couple of years ago and the replacement is still running fine.
Going back to the Apple store would be my recommendation.Comment
