I pod i like mine. It has nothing to do with being cool considering I only hang out with the same 4 people and refuse to talk to anyone else in real life. I have a over a thousand songs on my ipod most stuff I bought myself and some I borrowed I don't listen to every song most I do. but I've been meaning to delete some of them that I don't like anymore. I'm also too lazy to switch out songs I have n x-mas cd on their but by the time I took it off it'd be christmas and time to re upload it. I don't care if you hate I-pod or not but that 18 mnth thing is BS i've had mine longer and the battery hasn't died yet.
