Ipod

currently listening to : no air - jordin sparks feat chris brown

my Ipod shuffle started giving me problems on the last day of my sydney trip. the time when i needed it most to accompany me on my trip back from sydney, it broke down. alternating orange and green lights flashed - indicating some sort of error and i had to endure the entire journey back from sydney to heidelberg stoning without any music. fortunately, after plugging it to itunes, it miraculously resumed its normal function. but yesterday, the problem came back. i was on my way home from the city and it died again. argh. im seriously pondering on investing a new ipod. should i or should i not?
