Can you *please* stop telling him to format it? It won't help, and he'll lose all his music.

at this point i really don't care about my music files(if formatting the player will help), i have them all on my computers hard drive but if i format it and the problem still persists, then i'm really at a tough spot! what's bugging my mind is if the cable has gone bad, why does it charge the player? logically, if the cable is bad one would think that it shouldn't even charge. anyway, i will try to replace the cable and let you guys know about the result.

There are multiple connections within the cable. Some carry power and others carry data. If the power connections are good, but the data connections are damaged, charging would work but data transfer would fail.

Yes and this very thing has happened to me multiple times with iPods over the years.
