my advice to those wanting to buy an ipod:

buy it at best buy
buy the extended warranty thru best buy

after 2 years, right as the warranty is going to expire, take it to best buy and tell them that the battery doesnt hold a charge as well anymore

poof!

it has been 2 years - they take your old ipod and send you a new one

unfortunately it only works once :lol:

good advice, but buy the replacement warranty. they sold me a maintenance one and i was without my ipod for 6 weeks. it never worked the same after they replaced the battery.

new Battery from Apple is $59
They actually give you a new unit rather than crack yours open and put in a new battery

or

you can go to
http://www.ifixit.com/search?query=ipod+battery

and get a new battery for between 10 - 20 bucks
but you have to put it in yourself...

here are the guides-
