Did you wear it or place it on a shelf / in a holder? If you wore it, you probably beat the hard drive to death.

Creative doesn't make the hard drives, and all of the hard drive players seem to have problems for some people, so the iRiver or iPod or Rio could be just as likely to die on you.

I use my 3rd gen iPod while running all the time and have yet to have a problem in over a year and a half. *knock on wood*

Some people don't, some people do. But it does seem like Apple has better external shock absorption and/or a better HD in their full-size iPods than other brands, at least based on user reviews at Amazon.

So surprising that someone who likes the iClod is so inept at using forums as to double post... really, I'm shocked.

Then it wouldn't be free, my uncle hooks me up with Creative stuff ;)
Solution: Get a bunch of free Zen Touch mp3 players, sell them, buy an iPod, be trendy, get girls.

*shrugs* my internet connection freaked out. Not my fault. Not in the same way your stupidity is your fault for example.

Now namecalling, the iCult never fails to display maturity ;) Wonder if it has something to do with liking the looks of a gaudy white plastic & neon lights player & teen pop sensation U2... Btw that's a pretty transparent excuse for not knowing how to avoid a double post.

Sony D-NE20 Discman. I like to have the options of playing both regular CDs and MP3 CDs, line-out and optical out, and 50+ battery life.

And so the proverbial sh|t hits the fan...

Runs and ducks for cover.
