It’s the question of our times (well - maybe) - what do you do with an ipod shuffle/nano when the battery dies? Throw it away and add to the masses of landfill already building up around of ears?

NO!!!

The answer is you use it as a USB storage device! Simple - but a lot of people don’t realise! You have to use the ipod software to put tunes onto the ipod - but you don’t need the software if you’re just going to use it like a normal USB stick! Just plug it into your USB port and hey-presto - 512MB/1GB/2GB etc of storage!

Can anyone confirm if a normal ‘big’ ipod can be used like this too?
