Never got into the IPod thing, never bought one, probably never will.....If I need 500 songs to listen to, I'll just dwelve into my LP collection at home. To each their own I say.....But its not for me.....

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.

I have my entire CD collection on the IPOD, which is hooked up to my Bose home stereo unit.

Very very convenient.

The collection is also on my PC, which I can play while working.

Good stuff.

The Treo 650 was the answer to my MP3 needs (along with need for cell phone, contact list, scheduler, etc.)
