Re: iPod question
hey gambit,
you're ok until you get the dreaded sad mac face. i've had a 4th gen ipod (40 gig) one which i always updated regularly. nevertheless it started getting stuck as time went by, which usually just resolved with the reset.
yet later on the freezes became more rapid, and after awhile my ipod got almost permanently fucked up... signalled with the sad mac face and a whirry sound from the ipod's hard drive.
a friend of mine, esaias from these forums, actually resurrected it twice by opening the whole ipod and removed/re-connected the hard drive (my guarantee had already expired by then). this brings it back to life, but apparently only for a little while. the procedure helped by a good month or so until it got fucked again and he had to repeat the surgery.
needless to say i got tired of such erratic behaviour and decided to get a new mp3 player. i would've opted for another brand than apple but since my extensive collection of cds have already been ripped to m4a's, i will not have the energy to convert them or rip them all over again.
so i got an 80 gig ipod 5.5 gen video. apple owns my ass
