I think my ipod... -

...has shit the bed.
It doesn't get past the Apple image that comes up when it first boots and is making a strange squeeky noise. Sounds like the drive might not be spinning properly.
So, I've had it for 13 months. Its probably out of warranty now, right? If so, can it be repaired? If not by Apple, then maybe by a 3rd party? Any recommendations or previous broken iPod experiences are appreciated.
This sucks

Mine sometimes when i turn it on to play music nothing happens, it just sits there on a song but doesnt play anything. I just hold the menu button and the middle button to reboot and it works fine.

there was a recent thread about iPods and their tendency to break, if I recall correctly, there were some people who got very angry at me for saying that iPods break a lot...

ipods suck, you cant transfer music onto them without the spyware (oops software). Other MP3 players apear as another drive so you can just copy/paste music into them. Go with the off brand MP3s tell ipod to GTH

[quote="Sgt>Stackem":c8a06]ipods suck, you cant transfer music onto them without the spyware (oops software).[/quote:c8a06] stupid:
Anyway, I'm pretty sure its cooked. I plugged it into the wall overnight (fixes many ipod problems) and it still won't boot up. The breakage is my fault; I dropped it the other day when the case was off, so I don't have room to complain at Apple or whine about it breaking.
I'm going to look into getting it fixed in the next few days. If it's impossible, I'll be buying something new. I'd look into products other than Apple. Here are my requirements:
Compatible w/ iTunes
30GB +
Some sort of Car dock available
Other than that, I don't need much. Any suggestions?
