Under Windows the iPod behaves like a rather bright USB disk which is 
formatted with FAT32 (IIRC).  The whole synchronization process is a 
matter of moving files around, and if one or more of the files on the 
iPod is broken you have the problem (FAT32 is not journaled).

So, yes, I believe it would address the problem.
