Have you verified the file extension?

After completing a file download from the WMM site, I recommend verifying that the file name ends in .mp3

If the file name doesn't end in .mp3, it's easy to correct (Windows).
    - In "My computer", explore. Find the file that you downloaded.
    - Right-click on the file name. A menu is displayed
    - Within the menu, click "Rename".
    - On your keyboard, tap the <End> key.
    - Correct the file extension to .mp3

Another posibility is that the level of compression used on the file is somehow incompatible with your iPod.

I know that was a problem in the early days of mp3 players and is why I have up one level of compression for my files(everyone complained).

See if it will play on your computer, if it does but doesn't work on your ipod then it needs recompressed at a different bit rate.
