The first steps in troubleshooting any iPod issue is to Reset it by holding the center and Menu buttons till it restarts. Next step is to Restpre it using iTunes, Restore will erase all content re-installing it's software and returning it to a factory setup.

If this is happening on the same songs chances are the songs are corrupted. Try deleting them off the iPod and re-syncing them. If you follow the steps above Restoring the iPod would have copied another copy of the music back from your library. If the problem still exists the problem is with the music files. Even though they may play properly in iTunes there may be an issue with them the iPod can not deal with. If this is the case re-rip or download them again if you are able.

They played before perfectly fine, but after I sync more music my iPod just skips over them. I'm going to restore it.

Okay I just solved this problem for myself. What you'll need is Audacity. Now all you need to do is pass each song you are having the problem through the program. By that I mean open the song up in Audacity and then export it.
