I just got an iPod and loaded it up with some of my favorite tunes (yes I know your kids and mine are way ahead of me)  My plane has an audio panel with accepts a jack from a cell phone or an iPod and I hope to be able to listen to music in flight.

 

A while ago there was a thread on hard drives breaking down at altitude due to the decrease in cushioning air between the disk and the read/write head.  I understand that the iPod is based on a hard drive - will the same thing happen to an iPod?  At what altitude?  Anyone with any experience?
