The problem might well be a codecs issue. To view the file on your computer you might consider to download the free VLC player with built-in codecs, which can play almost all media files without problems:

i dl'ed it now how does it help? i am playing the file with no music but it comes with music/sound on the vlc media. when the file is done on the vlc media will it play with sound on my ipod?

seems that I have misread your initial post (guess I shouldn't try to read posts after 1 a.m.)........I thought I read you having problems with both computer and I-pod in playing the file..... At least you got this way one of the best media players available at present.

Unfortunately, I won't be of much help in regard to i-pods sicne i do not have one and therefor can't come up with practical experience....
How about using the forum search with the query "I-Pod file no sound"
