    Try different headphones. If they work fine, the problem is your headphones. Solution: Buy new headphones.

    If you have the same issue when trying different headphones, the problem is the input on the iPod. Loads of places fix these. Prices vary.

    Oh, and if your using original supplied iPod 'phones, throw them away. Not because of your problem, but because they're rubbish.

    If there's no other controls on the cable (volume and suchlike), just snip off the jack. Solder on a new one. Bob's yer uncle. I'm sure you can find vids on youtube. Replacement parts can be got in hobby places such as Maplins, or online if you prefer gold-plated audiophile fancypants-type stuff. If you don't fancy having a go at the soldering, you could try anybody you know who works with electronics. It really is a simple job*.

    *Unless there are extra controls. Then not quite so simple.
