Funeral for an iPod

[Casey H]

My iPod died yesterday... I've become so dependent on it. I have 600-700 songs on it and use it almost exclusively in the car... almost never listen to the radio, although I do have a 6-CD player. It's like my own personal radio station- I just put it on random shuffle and let it rip... I also became dependent on it for working out at the gym... I don't recall what it was like working out without it, especially for running or walking... I have most of the songs in iTunes on my PC so when I buy a new one I will still have most of the songs... The new one, "iPod Classic", is $249... Yikes! I don't want the Nano ($149) because I have some accessories that are not compatible... Casey
