My iPod Classic (150 GB) appears to be dead with hard drive issues. So, I need something new and portable for my music. And it appears Apple doesn't make/support the Classic anymore, though you can still find a handful of new ones at Amazon or eBay.
I'm a creature of habit and liked the Classic, but I'm willing to entertain other mp3 ideas. I listen largely to live music recordings (downloaded from archive.org, or copied from old CDs if they are older shows) and podcasts. The iPod Touch, which appears to be the biggest hard drive currently available, has a bunch of junk (camera, etc) I don't need from my music player. Big hard drive is important though-- I like to put a lot of live shows on there.
So, buy a new Classic? Or something totally different like a Sony walkman? What kind of non-itunes interface do non-apple products use? Will my regular daily/weekly podcasts still be easily accessible?
Thanks everyone.
