*sings* I walk this empty street, on the Boulevard of Broken MP3s, where the city sleeps...
OK, my MP3 Player's been through a lot of battering through the 1.9 years I've had it. First the flap protecting the insert for the Sony cable broke off, but that didn't really cause any defict to it. Then a few months ago, I lost the cable that connects it to the computer, so I can't add any more new songs to it. Then I dropped it in Paris last week and the battery lid broke a bit and could no longer keep the battery in on its own, so I have to secure it down with sticky tape. Finally I got a scare today when the battery lid actually came clean off!! Fortunately, I managed to stick it back on.
But despite that, I can still listen to music, and all of its functions still work. Would any of you say that the damage done to it recently is enough to qualify as broken good and proper?
