IPOD 30GB 5TH GEN WHITE – $40


IPOD 30GB WHITE 5TH GEN NOTHING WRONG WITH IT

I THINK IT NEEDS A NEW HARD DRIVE IT ONLY HOLDS ABOUT 90 SONGS BUT IT IS GOOD FOR PARTS OR IF YOU WANT TO FIX IT..

$40 AND ITS YOURS

Math time!

If a hard drive has a capacity of 30GB, and it holds 90 songs, that means that each song is a third of a GB, or 300MB. That would imply that:

A. At CD recording quality, fully uncompressed, each of these 90 “songs” is 30 minutes long.
B. At CD quality using high quality 256 kbps compression, each “song” is 325 minutes long.
C. “Nothing Wrong With It” is somehow compatible with “Needs a New Hard Drive.”
D. Sparky here is an idiot.

Thanks for the post, KS!

    Well, it does work, if in the way a truck with an engine with only three working cylinders “works.” In the sense of “working” to include leaking fluids, noises slightly louder than a third-world coup d’etat, and with similar risk.

    Is that the consumer-electronics equivalent of “It’ll buff right out”?

    Is this the iPod Touch? Or maybe the iPod Bad Touch?

    Submitted for your “approval.” Consider Sparky’s iPod, 5th generation. Good for parts, needs a new hard drive if you wish to have more than 90 songs available. Sparky is selling it on The Craiglist Zone. (cue spooky music)

    It has been in sparky’s family for 5 generations. It was first owned by his/her great great great grandpappy. That’s not an iPod, It’s a white box full of vinyl records. You need a turntable. Those won’t fit in your computer’s cup holder.

    Edit: Spellchecker is on the fritz. I typed great 3 times up there and spellchecker sez the 2nd and 3rd great are misspelled.

      Spell checkers are beginning to flag repeated words. Probably the system is just saying “Hey OMV, are you sure you want to say ‘great’ three times in a row?”

    A quick google search tells me that a fifth-generation iPod 30GB should be able to hold 7500 songs. I’m guessing either Sparky doesn’t know or doesn’t remember about the partition holding hours and hours and hours of furry pr0n.

    You kin fit ninety songs on that itty bitty thing? You gotta be nuts! In my day it took only one song to completely fill an amphitheatre.

      Fill? Dang, normally I can empty one in less than one entire crooning.

    I’ve never owned an iPod, but I’ve had my eye pawed. When I would pick up my cat, Murphy, he would put one of his paws over one of my eyes. I guess he just wanted to stare into one of my eyes instead of switching back and forth to look at both. Either that or he wanted to ruin my depth perception.

    I’m not exactly sure how one goes about removing parts from an iPod, but if it has a tweeter, an agitator, a distributor cap, two coffee filters and at least one working kidney, I’m in.

      I think you are out of luck. I’m pretty sure that iPods are full of iPeas.

    5TH GEN WHITE

    I call bullshit.

    I’m pretty sure there were no iPods available in the 19th century.

    If there were, they’d of been this fecking big though…all that stuff gets smaller with each upgrade.

    And, it would have had to run on kerosene or whale blubber.

    So, yeah, Sparky…bullshit.

    It’s been a hard drive fright, and it’s been working very wrong
    It’s been a hard drive fright, it should be keeping lots more songs
    But when it gets home to you you’ll find the things that you do
    Will make this deal alright….

      Thanks, Ralph! If I owned an iPod I would have lots of Beatles on it….

      As it is, I listen mostly to the radio….it must not hold many songs, either, ’cause it keeps playing the same ones over and over and over and……………
