Wezzul.com - It's the Dinglez

My ipod is broken. The hard drive will spin up, click, spin down. I can't format it, can't do shit with it. Diagnostics on the ipod report the HDD is good, but it isn't, not even close. I can hear it clicking. A new drive is $175 if I get it from ipodmods.com, and it's about $250 to have Apple repair (replace) it. I can't go without an mp3 player, so I'm taking suggestions on what else to get. Losing all the music on it is a pain as I don't have all of it on computers anymore.

If you know me, you know how important that fucking thing was to me. It's a real shame that it doesn't work anymore. I don't have enough money for a new one, so I'm going to have to go alot cheaper for my new mp3 player. But a new one is necessary, for sure.

I found some information about getting iTunes to work with Linux, and I followed the steps listed here , but was unable to get iTunes to detect the iPod. I can actually get ephPod to run in Crossover Office , and have it read the iPod. iTunes also plays music fine, and can read and upate ID3 tags. But it won't read the iPod. I posted on the Crossover Office forums, but I don't know that I'll get anywhere with that.

I'll keep at it though, as I really dig iTunes and WISH Apple would port it to Linux.
