Dropping 79 bucks on a simple battery replacement for my iPod isn't the highlight of my day. I tried looking up ways to do it myself seeing as the battery only costs 20. However Apple made it a point to make it hard to swap out unless you have a soldering kit and some experience. Basically trying to keep the average Joe from cheating Apple from making dollar over fist to the nuts!

It works for me. I know people stream off their phone, but I don't want to drain my battery. Also I have a large collection of music I bought years ago before streaming was as accessable as it is today. I like the ease of creating and managing playlists that itunes provides. Even if there are alternatives, I've yet to find a program that's easier to navigate when creating playlists. I use my iPod in my vehicle since morning radio tends to be exclusively talk shows in my area.

That doesn't work for me. I am on the road a lot and I can't always charge on the fly. I do use my phone for calls and other matters too. Be a lot to do with one device ya know.

My only issue would be having another accessory to lug around and remember. If it hooks to the phone as a permanent attachment it could be easier, though from what I seen those attachments make the phone chunky and uncomfortable to slide into my pocket. Again, I'd still have an issue with memory storage. I have 250 gigs of music and I wouldn't want to try and squeeze that into my phone.
