I use my iPod all the time - I have the Classic with video (160 GB, I am considering using the free space to back up data), after the old 20GB 3rd gen I had. I wouldn't have replaced the old one if it had been a good idea to fix it - I am bummed out that I had a disk failure, but I used that iPod a lot. I have all my music on the new one, and whenever I go out in public, I like to listen. Especially around Christmas, it is a blessing not to have to listen to the stores' horrible seasonal noise. Today, I had to get the car fixed and get groceries, which was a major nuissance. But, with some new dance music and the iPod, I actually had fun standing in line and walking around town with heavy bags.
I have now a considerable collection of Sitcom episodes on my iPod as well: If I wake up at night, I can watch those and fall back asleep within minutes, it never fails. Since my husband wakes up when I read at night, I can't read in those moments; the iPod has been the best thing ever for us: we both get a lot more sleep than we would do without. I don't go to bed without my iPod anymore.
We have a cable that connects the iPod to the stereo, and for me, playing CDs is a thing of the past. My husband isn't quite in agreement when it comes to his music, though. In my studio, I have a good portable speaker that can run on batteries and from the outlet, which is great.
It can also serve as a small photo screen - I have some photos on it, but haven't had the chance yet to use it. Still, I appreciate that I can have photos of our house on the iPod.
I had some aggrevation in trying to get it to work, and the sales personnel at the Apple store deserves the 3AM zill brigade with a bad zurna player in tow. Still, I love my iPod.
