I read this account of how it feels to lose your iPod with a sickening recognition of how that feels. (Well, except the part about Coldplay. Ew.) The one Doug gave me hasn’t responded to any of the triage I’ve tried, and I’m not keen to shell out major bucks to have the hard drive replaced. I won’t throw it out, however — too much sentimental value.
Luckily, the Mini I got for attending a conference last year is still relatively healthy, so I haven’t had to quit cold turkey. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before it too gives up the ghost, and at that point, I’m not sure whether I’ll have the gumption (gullibility?) to buy another.

Nobody really tells you this, but you shold back up your iPod on your hard drive if you have the room. That way, you can just copy everything back on to a new one.
My 1st-gen 20 GB bit the dust last month (dead hard drive), after many revival attempts, including battery swapping. I haven’t gotten rid of it yet, even though I got a new one. Sentimental reasons.

Do you really think it’ll pull through?
my, my, my, my, my, my baby, goodbye……
