Re: my ipod has gone loopy

If you are in the US, consider buying an extended warranty from CompUSA.
Even if you don't buy the ipod from there, they will still sell you the
warranty ( at least they used to ). For three years of coverage it cost me
$40 when I bought my 10GB ipod last summer.

It may be a waste of money, if I never use it, but if I drop it or it just
stops working, they cover it.
