Well, there is one nice thing about CompUSA's TAP plans. They are replacement plans, not standard extended warranty plans. Meaning, that if something is wrong with the unit, they replace it. Oh, and you don't have to get the same exact model. You get an in-store credit that has to be used the same day.

I've had TAPs on every iPod since the first gen. Due to battery problems that persist with every generation and one HDD failure, I've used the TAP multiple times. Each time, I wound up getting the latest generation unit. The first time it was just by chance that the new ones were out when the battery was giving me only a couple of hours of use. After finding out how the TAPs worked that time around, I waitied to use the TAP until new models were out when the battery life issues popped up again. Well worth it in my opinion.
