I had a 30gig ipod classic do this to me.... parents bought me an 80gig video and I bought a set of ath-m50 cans. I now live in sound heaven :D

It's a pain, man. I gotta buy my new one. So much for the ps3..

mzeffex 04-26-10 03:41 PM

Haha! Good news! Kind of. I just have 3 pairs of half defective headphones! I busted out the big old skull candies, and sure enough, they work with it. Plugged in the other pairs I tried on the ipod in another ipod and neither worked on one side! Yessss.

my shuffle is indestructable it has been washed twice. My classic died, it works but no sounds out of the head phones. I found a submerged nano in a lake in the NY mountains and we brought it back home and it charged and worked but the backlight is out and the batt drains quick. All in all it seems very hit or miss. Either the apple stuff dies way too soon, or you can never kill t at all.

Mine got run over by a car a few weeks ago, I figured that was the issue. Apparently not.

If you got 2.5 years out of an iPod Nano you drag round on your friggin bicycle, it doesn't owe you anything. Besides the last generation iPod Shuffle 2GB (I have two of them) is better for cycling. You can buy them all day long on eBay for $50. I love 'em. The newer Shuffles suck. Get this one.

Hey Pcad,

You think you have dental issues? How about this?


Dude lost eight teeth.

patentcad 04-26-10 04:25 PM

Dental 'issues'?

I have the whole friggin subscription.

>colorful ipods here<

I was kidding. I figured that I am paying about 1/5 cent per day considering how long I've had it. It's actually not broken though like I said.

I actually had one of those shuffles, the blue one. Then I traded it for my first clipless pedals.

Also, I just rode for EXACTLY 21 minutes. Don't know how that worked, but it did, to the second. If anyone can guess how many miles I did to the 1/10 of a mile (hint: sucks) you win a prize.

I am almost certain that being run over by a car is not part of the testing they put the iPod through. The fact it did survive means they are built to last.

I know :lol:

I would have said it with sarcasm, I was kidding. Kind of hard to express sarcasm through the internet.

I'd buy another ipod in a sec if this one died.

Four miles.

I nominate coasting to lead the next BikeForums group ride. His planning skilz appear to be awesome.

Nope.

I actually do have a bunch of spare parts I wouldn't mind giving away.

Velo Vol 04-26-10 06:01 PM

OK, 6.2 miles.

mzeffex 04-26-10 06:02 PM

Hey, one guess only.

mzeffex 04-26-10 06:16 PM

^ It's nothing you'd want :p

Unless you want an FSA gossamer crank and a bunch of fairly high end mountain bike parts.

mike868y 04-26-10 06:19 PM

6 Miles.
