No, I only listened to it on long road trips or other random times I had nothing to listen to on the go. It was always plugged in and charging whenever I wasn't using it, so that's why it's kind of pissing me off. I read in Chismaayyy's thread about iPods and saw that I wasn't alone in having mine poop out on me, and saw that some knew how to replace the batteries without having to pay a REDICULOUS fee to Apple for the battery. Also a friend said he replaced his a while back and knew how to do it, so I might ask him.
