If your iPod still plays music, then it still works, doesn't it? :D I had an iPod Mini for a year with a broken screen. It's easy, you sort your music into playlists and navigate by feel. Of course this might be difficult if you have a large capacity iPod. But it's still possible to navigate completely by touch and trial-and-error.
And you've still got a USB drive. ;)
I do not have a portable music player...
Although I do steal my girl's Creative Zen from time to time, so I suppose I would have to chose that.
And I don't care for Apple
All I've got is a 2-gig SanDisk MP3 player. It can't play videos, but it's capable of displaying a slideshow of my countless cabbit pictures ^_^
I have one of these "creative" MP3's that you guys speak of, and they are pretty awesome. So I perfer an MP3. Ipods are cool, but im not ready to follow that fad yet......
Did it even cross your mind that an iPod is in fact an mp3 player too? Most portable audio players today support more than one audio format. Mine supports mp3, wma and wav (for recording speech). Some new players even support the earlier iPod-exclusive audio format.
Actually, I'm changing my mind. Windows Media Player + Good Sound Card + Good Sound Processing Driver + Good KOSS Headphones are better than any of that above.
Not very portable though.
