Doug,
We also use an IPOD in flight. We
typically fly in the low 20s, with a cabin altitude of 6500-8000 ft. We have
never had a problem with the IPOD. Nearly every flight we take is at altitude,
so it has been up several times with no event.

Subject: [LML] iPod Hard Drive
Crash
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?
