Should I take it into the apple store to see if it can be fixed? Throwing it away seems so ... wrong. :'(

depends on what's wrong with it...
If it's just the battery you should.

You should buy an mp3 player that isn't an Ipod.
Overrated.
Creative is where its at.

Even Apple can't cure AIDS :-\

I disagree, if you're heavy into iTunes, which is by far the best online music and video store integrated with a system music and portable MP3 player - going anything but iPod makes very little sense.
You can grab refurbished iPods on Apple's site for pretty cheap, but call first and see if they can do anything. I worry about my iPod, since I got it back in Christmas of '04 (3G 20GB), but it's held up like a pro and I doubt I'll upgrade until there's a better video iPod (gimme a bigger screen, you bastards!).
That said, competition is good, because Apple seems to announce counterpoint options when ever Creative comes out with something and with Microsoft in the market, it'll only force them to keep up their game.
If either Creative or Microsoft can create a true iTunes alternative and possibly threaten Apple, they're going to have to open up iTunes to more than just the iPod in terms of supported players. iTunes is their future, because eventually they're going to saturate the MP3 player market.

I wish there was a way to know exactly how the iPod is doing on a monthy basis, as well as the Zune. Like NPD data or something

I have a Creative Zen Nano (that Ecrofirt bought me for our four-year anniversay) and I absolutely adore it. It's tiny, pink, and cute.
My little brother has an iPod nano, and I set it up for him and everything when he first got it. I wasn't at all impressed with iTunes, it seemed clunky and stuff. Maybe it's just their interface, but there's something about it that I really don't like.
I've also heard that Apple has to pay royalties to Creative for every iPod they sell because they use Creative's technology or something. Interesting.

I've had my Ipod for 2 years now. I've dropped it, left it in -5 to 98 degree temperatures out in my car, I've gone running with it, had a dog chew a little on it, spilled Capri Sun on it...and it's still working perfectly.

Creative was a bitch and patented the Apple tech after Apple created it, but to the victor goes the spoils.
Creative makes nice players, but nothing touches the iTunes/iPod tech sex relationship.

That is because you're the whore of Babylon.
