iPod lives !

It's been about 2 years since my old 3rd generation 40 gig iPod played a song. It didn't power up at all and wouldn't even begin charging anymore. My iPod nano is great but it's only 8 gig. Having to delete something every time I add an album gets old real fast.

Deleting all the poker-night playlists off the nano would free up a decent amount of space and using the 40 gig model from the Bose dock will mean I could have up loads of albums on hand instead of just the pick of the bunch.



I picked up a replacement battery for much cheaper than Apple sell them but had to do the installation myself. Even with the supplied tools it took me over 25 minutes to open up the case. Replacing the battery was actually the easy part. Honestly, I didn't expect that when I put everything back together and unlocked it that it would actually work first time. Pleasantly surprised.

Now of course I need to spend a few hours figuring out which albums I'll put on the there.
