My ipod has been weird for like 4 months now but it just finally exploded. ill make a list of all things that have been gay on it:

-only ipod earbuds and miraculously skullcandy headphones truely work and it doesnt randomly pause. everything else it always pauses.

-when its cold out and im skiing with it and i have just charged the battery full, it loses its battery after about half an hour and when it warms up its fine but theres no point in bringing it anymore.

-at certain times it wont turn on and ill have to reset it, but theres no pattern, just random.

- and finally, when i was at the hill and i was warming it up in the lodge i kept trying to see if it would turn on and then it would show the apple sign and then show the battery is dead sign and this repeated about 10 times until the apple logo was on the screen for about 5 minutes and then it turned on with half battery life and guess what?! EVERY SONG AND PLAYLIST WAS GONE! FUCK YEAH! now it does the whole complete reboot of the ipod thing whenever i turn it on. so i sent it in... DOPE.

my ipod will not ever turn off. sometimes if i am lucky it will. butlike i press the play button and hold it and it just doent turn off. so i have to make a song end so it will go to the main menu and eventually turn off.

the shuffle is so perfect for skiing. it has a super long battery life, is very tough to impacts and the cold, and you just have to press play and pause instead of dealing with the click wheel

why didn't I think of this...
anyway, my ipod (4th gen. B&W) worked for hmmm... I guess nearly two years, not bad, and now it's having tons of problems. Whenever I ski with it mine also freezes or randomly skips backwards a few songs. Then the HD died so I opened the fucker up and replaced it. Now the battery is getting messed up and I need to buy a new one and replace that. Out of warranty for quite some time now. not having my music with me is annoying as hell. going back to an old old cd player is so odd.  I hate changing cd's and not knowing the song name and all that other stuff. :(

very true.

Although I kinda dont like the shuffle because mine is the old 512 mb one, and I want more songs, and I hate clicking through the songs and not being able to see what Im playing, they really are great.

I've had my old shuffle for over 2 years.  It's been through everything(without the cap on the usb part cause I lost both of them), so water, sweat, dropping it.  It's really durable and has a great battery life.  It's really good for skiing sometimes.  And the 1 gb ones are only like $80 now.

Im getting a 4 gb nano though soon.

i'm not bitching. mine held up for longer than expected and i'm happy with how it worked. i'm sad to see it broken. i want to buy a new one but rumor has it apple is releasing a new ipod and there may be a new zune by the end of the year and i'd hate to buy it then have to pay more to get a new one. so my summer will be spent ipodless, which really sucks. my phone holds 2 gig, but my music collection fills my 20 gig ipod.

what! thats lucky, I hear hiking the lift lines during the summer is a great way of finding loot. I'd love to do that too since I do enjoy hiking/backpacking but I have no way of getting up there or anyone to go with. mt biking would be cool to, and faster to get around with.

you just need to find yourself one of the old ipods and do a battery change. They work great and are built like tanks
