the new iPods don't have that problem. So get one and be happy.

I have an iriver h320.
I am gonna get an armoured case for it, so hopefully falling won't cause me too much bother...

Anyway, a gas station we pass. We got gas, and ran off to get grub.It was a nice little pub in the middle on nowhere. Anywhere woulda been better. I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em, Ali had the fruit punch.

Out of those, get the iAudio. Have a look at the iRiver H320/H240 too though.

I would definitely consider the any of the iRiver HD players. I have one of last years and it has lasted very well. I have used it skiing, taken falls on it, dropped from 5+ ft onto a hard floor. And the battery runs longer than they advertise. Overall it is a quality player and with it you can avoid and proprietary bullshit that you'll get with iPod.

^What doesn't last? I know I've only had mine a year but it is still working perfectly.

y do u guys keep posting...im getting a ipod i did some research on the battery and its a li-ion which thats what my phone is and my phone never froze...ever so y should the ipod and plus im gettin a ipod sock to keep it even warmer...and i figured out y all u guys ipods get fucked up...its cause u dont cover it theres metal on the back and when metal gets cold its cold so u gotta cover it...and this will happen in the heat to when u take it in the hot sun for a while the metal on the back will begin to heat and the battery wont work...so in the winter make sure u cover it and it will work fine but in the summer try not to use it for to long in the godly heat
