That's a bugger mate, as I quite liked your taste in music.
Why is it the last? Can't justify the expense?
I can't justify it, nor afford it, so only travel with CDs.

p.s. hope you had the library backed up on a hard drive?

Battery or storage failed in the iPod? I replaced the battery in my old iPod. The storage in it is a tiny hard drive the size of a CF card!

This one decided not to respond to the menu or reset, Apple wont do a remote cause it is too old. Also it doesnt seem to want to charge via the mains , but when plugged to the computer itunes freezes up and doesnt respond. The older one no longer accepts new music , the battery seems problematic. We have the one 64 gb left but now sitting on the same amount in the library with another lot yet to be recorded.

I feel for you , I have an original iPod from 2001 .......
Has started freezing -and my old computer died recently so it won't talk to the 'new ' Mac - which is about 6 yrs old .
The newer ones are a lot more fragile also , I think .

not good.
Suggest it buried separately with honours.
cheers,

Hope mine doesn't go as it has 60gig of music. Its all backed up to a laptop.

Try leaving it until it is as flat as can be, and then recharge.
I've had mine play up a couple of times like that, after leaving it for a few of days it comes back after a charge.

Yeah, if the battery is very low it may take a long period of charging before it revives enough to operate. Give it a couple of days. If that fails, try a new battery.
