Apple 60 GB iPod with Video Playback Black

Some people are absolutely right. The ipod has problems. Ipods will fail, crash, have to be reset, etc. These problems, however, are all inherent in hard drive mp3 players. Hard drives just aren’t meant to be jostled, jogged with or dropped. If you want to avoid all failure problems whatsoever, buy a nano. But before you do that, take these few points of advice into consideration.

1. Apple has an amazing protection plan. After 2 years my ipod finally crashed, but I had it under warranty. A two year warranty is relatively cheap, considering your ipod probably will die within 2 years. If you are covered, this is how it goes. You fill out an online form describing your problem. Ipod processes this form within a day, and you get an empty box in the mail within 2 days. You ship your ipod back (expenses paid) in this box, ipod receives it within another couple days (or sooner depending where you are). They diagnose it for about a day or less and ship it back to you. All in all, it takes no more than a week for you to get your ipod back. If it’s a serious problem they will send you a complete replacement (and you feel like it’s Christmas again, getting a brand new shiny ipod!)So in summary, their protection service is amazingly quick and efficient and you should invest in one when you get the ipod. If you are unfortunate enough to either not be protected or to drop your ipod (which is not covered) you might as well sell your broken one and use the money to buy a new one.

2. If you are worried about losing data that’s stored on your ipod, make sure it’s backed up!
