>literally weeks' worth of (uncompressed CD quality) music in my pocket or
>car reinvigorated my interest in a *lot* of bands.  A big bonus was and is

>Apparently a couple days ago when it was discontinued, Apple demanded that

>Apple.  They are literally gone from 99% of all retailers by this weekend.
>The resale price on places like eBay and Amazon resellers especially for
>new, unused Classics instantly shot through the roof.  I look forward to
>finding another non-Apple solution to listen to music so I can shitcan
