Hm well i dont really know a lot about these but i suppose it could either be ipods in general or your friend is unlucky. A friend of mine has the ipod nano and it works great. never had any complaints about it till now. has it since around january so maybe the screen will still break. but i have had a normal ipo 40gb since a bit over 2 years now and iv been having a lo t of trouble with it. the hard rive always made this clicking noise and i always had to sent it in to get it repaired of get a new one. (i dont know what apple does with sent in ipods!) so basicly im on number four richt now but this one seems to be working good for a while now.(over 6 months) but my head phones always break. ><

anyways i think it is a goo invest to get a ipo nano because they are so small and so stylish and can have aso much music!

QUOTE(Slay @ Apr 27 2006, 07:08 AM)

Has anyone else purchased this what could be perfect music player? I know somebody who purchased one the day they came out and a few weeks later the screen was bad so he couldn't see what he was doing. He still could use it but couldn't see what it was saying on the screen. The person did take very very good care of it and rarely took it out of its protective case. So has anyone else purchased one of these? If so have you had good luck with them or do the screens go bad for you?

I had the same problem but any pressure in the screen will make the ipods screen turn black and other colors. If you have the nano OR the video (the video is less easy to break) you can not put any pressure on the screens as the both are LCD screens and older iPods are ticker screens (black and white screens). But when it happened to mine i was pissed because i only had it for a week. The iPod is not reparable unless you send it in to apple. But its probably better just to invest in a video as it has more uses and the screen is alot harder to break. (I went from a 2GB nano to a 60GB Video and the video is still working after2 months and the nano stoped at 2 weeks)

1. My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data, - regaining data, and freezing (26)

   This morning I was going to listen to some music, so I got my iPod, turned it on, and it reset (I
   hadn't had it plugged in for a while). When I got to the music, it would go through half of a
   song, then skip to the next. After doing this a couple times, it would just skip entire songs.
   It'd skip six or seven, then do half of one, then skip six or seven more. Later I looked on the
   internet for some ideas, so eventually I tried resetting it again, as instructed. This worked for a
   little bit, but then it started skipping over songs again. I reset again, and it lost...

   stepdad's laptop will recognize it... But after she transfers all the songs, and she unplugs the
   iPod from the laptop, she loses all of her songs again... She talked to an apple guy, but they said

   Many people have been disappointed with the Zune- Microsoft's attempt at developing an iPod
   killer media playing machine. I don't know too much about media players, but you would think
   that if it has wifi capabilities, it should be able to go online. Well, the MS Zune lets you preview
   other people's music, which you would then have to buy. I guess that the idea has some merit,
   but come on? I digress. Does anyone think that the Zune will outsell the ipod this holiday season?
   Some people seem to think so. With a price tag of $100 in some popular electronics st...

15. Apple Ipod Vs. Microsft Mp3 Player - (32)

    Well first and foremost, I'll say this: I'm an iPod man. I love iPods, I have two of them in
    fact, and I've done a lot of things with them like hacking them to play doom, and some other
    cool stuff. 30GB is quite a bit for an mp3 player, let alone the 60GB version. So there's also
    room for not only your music, photos, and videos, but your other files, because you can use it as
    sort of like a flash drive. So in short, I can't get enough of my iPods. But recently I heard of
    Microsoft coming out with their Mp3 player. Even though not many details have bee...
