Today i was copying 2000 or more songs from my 4gen 20gb ipod and noticed that it was getting VERY hot. With no real gaps for hot air to escape from and encased in a thick metal and plastik jacket it seems possible for a ipod to overheat. Could this heat "problem" cause any deficancies to the battery or hard drive life

But once i stopped coppying it did cool down rapidly but still the screen and battery area stayed hot....
PLease post ur views on this
