i just found something.  (mine skip immediately).
I resampled the 128 AACs as wavs, not wavs from the original cd, and 
they played.
my guess is there's a bug in the decoder on the ipod, a certain pattern 
probably crashes it and its parent process goes to the next song and 
starts another decoder.

now I need to fiddle with it and see if one has to resample as lossless 
(wav, aiff, etc.) or if a higher bitrate using the aac mpeg4 encoder is 
good enough.
