Well... If it doesn't happen very often, you can learn to live with it, right? Otherwise, check if the warranty is still valid.  ;)

It's strange that the only people I have ever heard say bad things about iPods are those who have never owned one and never will.

It kinda makes me wonder what they base their opinions on. :P

I bought my iPod when I went to Florida last year and it was a floor sample: $170 with taxes for a 20gb color one... didn't have scratches so I bought it. iPod are really easy to use considering I had a SanDisk MP3 player that sucked...and iTunes manages songs very good!!

Say as you may, but i've never met anyone who's owned an iPod or any apple product who has been dissatisfied with it. Everyone who berates them are those who don't really know them and who will never give the time of day to have their minds changed.

I used to hate the iPod, and iTunes, but now they are a huge part in my life. My problem with the iPod was their rep of dead batteries or clicking hard drives. Now many of these problems have been fixed and I was convinced to buy one. I got a good deal on a 60GB off eBay, so I bought it, and now use it as not only a media player, but a extirnal hard drive.

The other thing that I ask alot of people is "what other hard drive based player can hold as much as the iPod?" Yes the Creative Zen Micro is a better deal than the iPod Nano, however the Zen Video only holds 20GB, and I have yet to find another company building a player that holds more than 30GB. Apple, however, has 1, 4, 5 ,8, 30, 60 and 80GB players all moderately priced.

Yes they are a fad, yes they are a "label" but seriously if you have a crapload of music (say like my father who has a 56.78GB library) then the pricetag is worth it.

About clicking and dying hard drives....

DO NOT SLAP YOUR IPOD

That will make it die faster.....just reset it MENU+center button for 6 secs if doesn't work... connect it to your computer and restore..... ;)
