Okay, here's the deal. Awhile back I got an iPod for my music. Remember the old 20 GB models? Yeah, it was one of those. No video, little picture capability, and you couldn't use it as a cell phone... but I defy you to have too much music for one of those babies. I've only approached 2 GB (although I'm soon planning on getting more music).
Anyway, it eventually died, and nothing I did could fix it. I sent it back to Apple under the agreement. I was expecting another 20 gig iPod, or maybe something more like a new, shiny 5 GB (since I'd heard something about the 20 GB models going out of production).
What did I get back? A Nano with 2 GB.
Frigging hell.
As I mentioned, I was approaching 2 GB as it was... I had 1.75 or so at the time. But files format oddly, I know, so I checked to see how much space I had left. And, needless to say, I was quite anguished to find that I was below 60 MB.
Anyway, I'd like to try to get some more space, but I don't really have the money to buy an entirely new iPod. So I was hoping that there might be a way to install a couple more GB onto the model I've got (preferably without breaking the warranty, although I understand that may not be possible).
I've been looking around and I've found a couple of (shady) explanations, but I was hoping I could get some clarification from someone who I actually have a little faith in. So, do any of you know of a shop that could do this, or a somewhat simple do-it-yourself process, or something? I'm sorry if this is kind of a vague request, but I'd appreciate any help you could give me, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction so I can figure it out for myself. Thanks in advance.
