There are duplicate songs, but I'm exposed to a lot of different music. Music that I might have not listen to or buy I would listen to on these Ipods and add them to my library if I like them. I wasn't a big fan of rap music but I started listening to Akon and now enjoy more music from rap artists.

Just another point. I bought my daughters ipod touch at a Sam's and it bricked about 6 months later. This was one time where I bought their 3 year warranty for another 40 buck since I've had all the problems mentioned. But after talking to another employee that I've know for a while, if you bought it there and have a receipt, the will usually take it back. If not, wait until the next person is working the service desk. It generally has to go back to apple after 90 days for the first year and then you can use the Sam's warranty. Apple charges crazy shipping and handling fee's so I just took it back to Sam's and the grabbed a new one, no questions. With all the problems, you can see why I would rather put new batteries in my click then invest in anything new.

I may ground my hand like the guy in the video does in his demonstration (I imagine that's what the strap thing is on his wrist?)

Been there. You need a new battery.

It's not brain surgery, but you can have a new $20 battery installed by the vendor for $12 on your 6G Classic here:

As noted earlier, it's simple.

Here's a video on opening up an Ipod Classic.

Before my Creative Muvo died, I replaced the battery and the hard drive. Opening the case without scratching or damaging it is the hardest part. It's not too hard, give it a try!

Here's a picture of my current collection of IPODS. These does not include my wife or kids IPODs or the IPODs that I gave away to the neighbors kids as Christmas presents.

You should see my collection of digital cameras and the pictures that people leave on the cameras.
