Everything has a shelf life. Take the iPod off the shelf and use it. The fact that Apple will give you what is essentially a new iPod for $70 as long as it does not have physical…

They (Apple) don't replace batteries. They replace the whole iPod. You get a shiny new case and an iPod that meets specs. You could go to somebody like ipodresq and they will ch…

If your iPod is under a year old, Apple should replace the battery for free.

also batteries are sensitive to heat, don't leave yours in hot vehicle. you can read "battery faqs"

Thanks for the tip Banghazi... finally a full-screen dp and no ugly menubar (except when you need it). I've been trying to get this minimal for years!...
