Its all in how you treat your ipod or any HDD based mp3 player. Hard Drives are like babies,you drop them and they’re just not right ever again. ---

I have a 20gb Archos Jukebox. Great player. I wish they had more of the market. They really are way ahead of Apple and Creative. Apple is 2 years behind them. At least. ---
