Ahh my ipod. It was advertised as having a 12 hour battery life. It came out of the box getting 4 hours. Occasionally it just freezes, and the battery drains after 24 hours unless it is plugged in. I took it to the Apple store, and even though I made an appointment (I walked in and they sent me to a computer to set an appointment time. God forbid I should speak with a human being) I still waited for over an hour past my appointment time. They then told me that such is the normal operation for ipods, unless of course I wanted to buy the extended warranty. I was still in the original warranty limits, but they strongly hinted they wouldn't fix it unless I bought the extended warranty. Next time I get a portable music player, it will be literally anything that isn't an ipod.
