Hit 3k on my Smart this week, nary a problem with it. Ipods, on the other hand, are about to drive me bonkers.
I am on my third "Classic". One stolen, one gave up the ghost (even a battery change didn't help), and even the shuffle has froze up.
So, #3 came in the mail from Amazon last night, charged and synced it up, went for a two mile walk with it this morning, and it worked fine.
Plugged it into the MP3 jack on my Smart, and find that it will play for two minutes, cut off. If I hit the round button, it starts up where it left off, plays two minutes, cuts off. It did this about ten times on the way in to work.
Only difference this time is, this is an 80 gig, versus 40 gig on my last two. Is there some setting I'm overlooking on this new "improved" Classic version?
