09.27.14 | :( that's rough homie, I have a classic, taking very special care of it now that I know they've been discontinued |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | Literally have no idea what caused the problem here either but oh well looks like a late one for me |

09.27.14 | What should you do? You should buy a Walkman and thank Apple for forcing you toward better sound quality. |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | thanks for the advice, buddy... |

09.27.14 | Aw man, hope it holds up.
Yh, I've still got my Ipod Video, been through a battery change - probably need another one in a couple of months.
I reckon there is still gonna be a lot of relatively new Ipods kicking about on ebay given their popularity... |

09.27.14 | Call me spoiled but I legitimately dunno what I'd do without 160GB on me all the time |
Glassjawx
09.27.14 | I'm at like 57 gigs. This site has a lot to do with that
|

09.27.14 | Yeah I'm taking a lot better care of my classic now that I know they aren't being made anymore |

09.27.14 | Get a Sansa! |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | I was at like 158 GB at last count lol
Apple are such bullshitters |
ChoccyPhilly
09.27.14 | Apple cheats you when it comes to sound quality too, I suggest an immediate improvement that won't cost you a fortune |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | Sound quality has never been a big thing for me lol |
ChoccyPhilly
09.27.14 | What do you look for in an iPod/music player |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | A fuckton of space? |
Glassjawx
09.27.14 | sound quality is fine as long you have good files and decent earbuds |
ChoccyPhilly
09.27.14 | Shit, how much memory do you need? Are all your files FLAC or something? |
Jots
09.27.14 | Listen to the new Hammock album and you won't need anything else |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | No I just have a LOT of music
a LOT |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | agreed Johnny its a masterpiece |
ChoccyPhilly
09.27.14 | How much memory does that equate to? |
Artuma
09.27.14 | haha |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | A
LOT |
ChoccyPhilly
09.27.14 | Alright, alright I get the idea. Apple is probably the best option then. You gonna get yours repaired? |
KrazyKris
09.27.14 | Still avoiding an iPod with a Sony mp3 player. Downside: only a fraction of the 160 GB, upside: NOT APPLE |
Rowan5215
09.27.14 | Well like I said in the description the iPod itself is still functioning so I should just be able to put AAALLLL my music (there's a LOT btw) back on there when I re-download it all |
TheSpaceMan
09.27.14 | RIP music storage |
MuhNamesTyler
09.27.14 | Lol why do people feel so strongly about apple |
Riviere
09.27.14 | Cult of apple bro, you can never leave. |
BMDrummer
09.27.14 | get a used one if it dies |
PappyMason
09.27.14 | Credit where credit is due - Apple came up with a great product (design, etc) and marketed it well. The Ipod basically saved the company. Props. |
TheSpaceMan
09.27.14 | dude the iPod MADE the company
they'd just be a grandma friendly version of Microsoft without an ipod to change the dimensions and add a new camera to every year |
Funeralopolis
09.27.14 | "what am I supposed to do with my life when this one goes? "
ebay, craigslists, kijiji, pawn shops |

They'd still be the guys that pretty much created the smartphone & tablet market. |

Their newest Walkman comes with 64 gig and a memory slot. So you can upgrade your memory for a little extra money to 128 gigs. |
bakkermaarten007
09.27.14 | Oh wait, I've got it wrong: "Compact, slim design with microSD slot for up to 192GB1 memory" (Sony website). So yeah: Hi-res audio and 192 gb in a superslim rectangular device--> destroys iPod =) |
KrazyKris
09.27.14 | Damn, how much is it? I've got mine for 120€ and it doesn't even have 20GB. |
ArsMoriendi
09.27.14 | This list title made me want to listen to "There Goes My Gun" by Pixies. Just saying.
Also, but you re-download stuff onto your Ipod through Itunes? |
bakkermaarten007
09.27.14 | The Walkman? You're from Germany right? It's 200 euros in most European countries, though I see that the German version only is available with 16 gb integrated memory. Not a problem if you can so easily upgrade it beyond 120 gb.

I'm saving up for it, but will wait until my current one's battery is broke. Which will happen soon I think. |
KrazyKris
09.27.14 | Austria, but anyway. Exactly the one I've got just that it's still the basic version. Rather crappy interface just to warn you, but everything else is really good, especially the battery.

Picturing you smashing it with a hammer. "Yes, finally 'broken'. |

I've got one of the earlier models too, without Hi-res audio thus. I don't mind the interface, it's pretty enough. I'm not using such a device to stare at the screen =)
"Picturing you smashing it with a hammer. "Yes, finally 'broken'."
The urge is there sometimes =) |

09.27.14 | ~I don't mind the interface, it's pretty enough. I'm not using such a device to stare at the screen =)~
Yeah, not important to me either, paying half of the price for the oh so great design and interface is one of the reasons I wouldn't buy an iPod.
~The urge is there sometimes =)~
If it seems to overwhelm you, just use a banana instead of a hammer. |
