My 60 GB iPod (5G? the first video) may be dying. The HDD is making strange noises and seeking is really slow. Something seems wrong. I question how long it'll last.
If it dies, I'd want a replacement. I'm not a fan of iTunes (I've been using foobar to load music--mainly so I can organize music myself, convert replaygain to soundcheck, etc.) Are there other large capacity mp3 players out there besides iPod classics? I was feeling a little limited by the 60 GB iPod, but at the same time, it'd be nice to not worry about HDD's either.
I usually listen to the iPod at work through an amp or in the car plugged in through the auxiliary. I occasionally listen through headphones plugged in directly.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks.
