Perfectlap,
I had a similar experience - in March of this year, barely 1 month out of warranty, my 40GB iPod died of a hard drive failure. The geebs at the local Apple store wouldn't repair or replace it and added insult to injury by offering me a 15% "recycling" discount on a new iPod. Yeah, right.
I have an iPod Nano as well (a holiday gift last year) and I expect it to be dead in January regardless of how much I use it. >:-|
Good luck finding a new MP3 player. I will be interested to find out what you buy because I'll probably need a new one before too long.
