I can't live without this gizmo and it's having issues. It's a 30GB iPod, about 3.5 yrs. old and it's getting some black lines across the display and won't play more than about four songs before freezing up and requiring a reboot. Lots of local places on Craigslist offer repair for these, but (it's Sunday and they're closed today) I'm wondering if this stuff can be fixed or if it's cheaper in the end to buy a new one.
