Incredibly Frustrated: Third Clip that has ceased to work

[smalbloc]

I have had the same problem happen to me twice. First with a 2GB after a year, then with a 4GB after about the same amount of time. I love to ergonomics, sound quality and features of the clip, but I don’t think I’m willing to buy a new one every year just because it just stopped working!  I’ve tried everything also but to no avail. Sadly, I think I will just have to go with another more reliable brand more next time (God forbid I buy a iPod!).
