not to be a total pessimist but they will all break at some point OR you'll just want a new mp3 player. also, whether something breaks has a lot to do with how you take care of it. i use my ipod for ~3hrs a day so if it dies after a year that'll suck but at least i got my money's worth.

i love my ipod, and it endures a lot from me. i've fallen with it on...twice. i know i'm clumsy. it has scratches all over it and the dial got dented in a bit, but it runs ok. wish the battery lasted longer. nowadays it can handle maybe eight to ten hours of continuous playing before losing charge. when it was new, i took it on an 30 hour train ride and it lasted the whole trip.

i'm such a geek about my ipod. we are literally attached at the hip. i took their free offer and had it engraved. maybe there are better mp3 players out there, but i love my ipod, iggy.

ipods are just sexy & smooth compared to other mp3 players lol Dats why i love my ipodo 2
