iPod hangs

On my way to the train station, I pulled out my iPod to put it on for the trip home as usual. Unfortunately, however, it suddenly hung right after I chose the song to start from with on the playlist. I was scared for a moment until I got frustrated because I couldn't listen to anything and it chose the worst time to go crazy on me while I got stuck in traffic on the jeepney for so long.
Eventually, thanks to the internet, I found an easy way (or two) to fix the problem.
You could do either of two things if you find your iPod hanging on you:
(1) Leave it until the battery dries up and just recharge and use it again.
(2) Press and hold the MENU and center buttons simultaneously for a few seconds and it resets.

Don't panic or hit your iPod against the wall (err... I tried that, it didn't work!) when you find your iPod not responsing to your touch pad but still displaying something on the screen.

PS: I almost forgot, I am grateful to Digital Inspiration from where I got the tip on how to fix the problem. Although, once I got to reset my iPod, it apparently had very very little battery left so I would have been able to use it eventually again.
