And this is what happened to my older ipod...

It was acting up lately not charging in my alarm clock/player, the click wheel was frozen so I could operate it but the function buttons on my clock could at least get it to play. But then I noticed the corner popped off and it's not working. It served me well for about 10 years which is pretty darn good. :)
Still copying all my music to a folder so stay tuned...
OMG, it worked!! My entire library that was on that ipod is now transferred successfully to my computer. So happy now....
