What is the error message?
What type of sound file?
Is it DRM protected?

Explain yo'self.

And for the shuffling question you can search the manual.

A simpleton's approach: perhaps wipe Rockbox out completely and start all over, being sure to follow the written instructions carefully (even if you don't think you need them) and using the latest code.

Type of sound file?

The same files play fine in the apple firmware and on your computer?

Is the drive on your player near-full capacity?

Are you sure that you are using the build for the 30 GB iPod Video and not the 60/80 GB iPod Video?

When you reinstalled Rockbox, did you use ipodpatcher or Rockbox Utility.

When turning on your iPod, after the apple logo shows up, press the |<< button, and see what version the bootloader tells you you're running.
