For years I used a 160 GB Classic in my car, but the problem was it holds about a third of my cd's! So I paid about $850 to buy a new 260 GB Touch. My Classic turns itself off when I shut off my van, but the Touch stays on and dies. Now I know your thinking "shut it off" but I am a brain tumor survivor and most of the time I forget to turn it off! In 24 hours it is dead! I have the headphone jack connected to my stereo, and the jack for charging connected to the cigarette lighter. Any ideas, am I doing something wrong or is it....as usual a memory problem. I do not understand why the Classic never died. It's charge level was usually low, but it always worked. I would start my vehicle and it began to play!
