Time for new iPod
Posted: 9th Dec, '11, 00:14
The iPod has an unreadable screen, a broken click wheel and a dented case. It plays if it sits in a dock and the dock has the ability to start it to play, but I don't have any control over what gets played or anything else. I could fix it, but it's 4+ years old and, hey, I'm sure it'll cost at least half the price of a new one to fix and it'll only give it a few months warranty on the stuff that's been fixed. It's a 30GB Classic.
This iPod sits in my car and plays the music I want to here. It's a shame the Classic is so big, I'd be much happier with a 60-80GB one with a few $$ off. Obviously they don't want you to have choice, it's Apple!
But which one?
160GB iPod Classic - $348
8GB iPod Touch - $288
32GB iPod Touch - $428
64GB iPod Touch - $588
8GB iPod Nano - $180
16GB iPod Nano - $208
Maybe the 16GB nano is all I need - there's not THAT much music that I NEED on the ipod. Or I could upgrade the one in my bedroom and use the current one there in the car.
Or I could use my phone in the car, but one thing about the iPod - one cable/plug is required in order to charge it and get the music outputted, my phone would require 2 plugs.
Have just found this which would charge my phone AND allow my iPod docking unit to plug into power.....cool! (I have a lot of respect for griffin in-car charger/music playing capabilities. Far superior to any others I've used!)
