Why must you disappoint me?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>So here I am at the Apple store in Chicago&#8230;disappointed. I came today to have them look at my iPod shuffle. It&#8217;s got a software issue because I pulled it from the computer before it was ready to be pulled from the computer. They just told me that the damage is not repairable, but they can&#8217;t give me a new one because I&#8217;m out of my warranty period.<\/p>\n<p>So what the eff am I supposed to do now? It&#8217;s obvious I&#8217;ll have to buy a new music player if I don&#8217;t want to carry around my giant 60 gig iPod that i&#8217;m pondering selling on ebay. <\/p>\n<p>So what do I do? Do I jump to the nano? They&#8217;re pretty little machines, but do the batteries last? I&#8217;m going to be spending a lot of time on planes next year, so I don&#8217;t just want the battery to up and quit all the time. Plus, it just might be to big to carry with me all the time&#8230;and maybe even too big to fit in the tiny pocket on my running shorts (maybe not?).<\/p>\n<p>I have loved my shuffle. Great battery life. It&#8217;s a brick. I&#8217;ve had no problems up until now&#8230;and it was my fault. But it&#8217;s got no screen. A screen would be nice. Some more space would be nice too. But it fits in my life. Wherever I go, there&#8217;s room for the shuffle.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and those iPod videos look pretty too. Horrible battery life. But pretty. And much smaller than my current iPod. <\/p>\n<p>Or I could just not have a music player for a while and &#8220;tough it out.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Am I lusting? I can trade in my old, broken shuffle for a new one and get 10% off. Plus the 10% I get for being a student (gotta use it while it lasts). So Internet, I ask again: What do I do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here I am at the Apple store in Chicago&#8230;disappointed.
