or you could spend 29.95, and get a battery for your old one that lasts longer than the new ipod theyre gonna send you. I have one, and if you set it to play your entire library, and dont touch it at all during playtime, the thing lasts almost 20 hours.
with normal use its like 12, but still, my original battery lasted 4. max.

i went to the apple store and told them that my ipos wouldnt turn on and they just gave me a new ipod. It was so easy, they asked me what my name was and thats it.
