iPod iPod Classic is being CRAPY!

[Niwa Rose]

Okay, so a couple days ago my iPod Classic 80 GB started being crappy.
1. Pauses Randomly (Does this fairly often)
2. The Album Artwork is all messed up (If I go to an album that is three days grace, the artwork will either be artwork from one of my podcasts, or just "static)
3. A bunch of "can't sync errors" (Though sometimes I can get it to sync)

I've allready tried to restore it, use a diff usb cord.

Should I call apple to get me a replacement? thank god i'm still under warrenty xD

UPDATE: It's syncing right now, but it's SUPER slow. 2000 songs and it's been an hour. X.x never this slow...
UPDATE 2: It has finished syncing and the iPod says there is nothing on it, but it also says the HD is full. o.o

Any thoughts people?

I'm thinking that the hard drive is dying. It would be a good idea to check apple's support docs though, if not send it off for repair/replacement.

Aye, okay thanx. ^^
also....

I restored my ipod, and it synced perfectly, but it automatically ejects when it's done syncing. THe problem is that I can't change that. So it ejects before i can chooce to sync my podcasts and pictures. D:
