That sucks. Starting to have some concerns about mine and battery life.Tokyo Fan wrote:My I-pod "may" have died. It died once before and then was miraculously resurrected so I just set this one aside while it decides whether it is truly gone or not.gdavis5446 wrote:Doug, you still have an IPod classic too right? Have you made plans about what you are doing when it dies? Discontinued and that is a bummer. I heard Sony Walkman is producing something comparable but nothing could replace the greatness and simplicity of the 120 IPod.dcarter wrote:Deserted island lists are now pointless. If I could listen to 7 discs while living on a deserted island, then I could listen to my iPod that contains all of my music. Better to say, "What 7 albums would you choose, if by some bizarre circumstance you could only listen to those 7 albums and no other music for the rest of your life?"
Like gdavis, I could not come up with such a list.
The first time around, the Apple Genius guy pronounced it dead. I held onto it, was moving and tried it 4 years later prior to throwing it out. It worked for another 2 years until possibly biting the dust a couple of weeks ago.

Jeesus, did not know 240 even existed. Guard that thing with your life homie.dcarter wrote:Greg, I bought a new 240 maybe a year or 18 months ago, so hopefully I'm set for a while. But i agree about how perfect the classic is. I imagine someone will make a replacement because old fuckers like us are a permanent market. We want all of our music in a something we can put in our pocket. Brilliant.

Only seven!? Ten is hard enough, but seven, hmm:
The Beatles White Album
The Band Stage Fright
Son Volt Trace
Rickie Lee Jones Naked Songs
Bill Evans Trio Waltz For Debby
Neil Young On the Beach (or Tonight's the Night, or Zuma or Rust Never Sleeps...whichever I grab first)
The last one. I have a feeling I'd want to hear another female voice....so maybe Joni Mitchell (who just came on my shuffle mode as I write (!), but then again maybe Carla Olson...or non-female and go back to Dylan (Desire) or Whiskeytown Faithless Street, or The Who Who's Next. So I don't know!
