For itunes great program very easy to find songs and easy to keep everything organized. You can sit there and go on and on about how you do not like them and bla bla bla. But the truth and the fact is, that they are the best and they are just getting better. PERIOD

"Reliability and durability
iPods have been criticized for their short life-span and fragile hard drives. A 2005 survey conducted on the MacInTouch website found that the iPod line had an average failure rate of 13.7% (although they note that comments from respondants indicate that "the true iPod failure rate may be lower than it appears"). It concluded that some models were more durable than others.[86] In particular, failure rates for iPods employing hard drives was usually above 20% while those with flash memory had a failure rate below 10%, indicating poor hard drive durability. In late 2005, many users complained that the surface of the first generation iPod Nano can become scratched easily, rendering the screen unusable.[87][88] A class action lawsuit was also filed.[89] Apple initially considered the issue a minor defect, but later began shipping these iPods with protective sleeves."
I work in HW/SW ... and I deal with this sorta **** all the time... they do whats called planned obsolescence - we do it too lol. The idea is... you make something soo good that once it breaks - you the consumer will want to get a newer better one... and it just so happens that their **** breaks just after the warranty period
