I have an Ipod classic which does get a lot of use.
It stopped working and apple said that I can either pay
£85 to get it fixed or £180 for a new one.
Any ideas on what is best? Or is there a different MP3 player that I could get? Any ideas?

There are plenty of MP3 players that can be had for under £85, buying from the Apple camp won't give you better sound quality because MP3 is a lossy format to start with.Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it0 -
£180! it's only £170 on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iPod-classic-160-Black/dp/B001F7AHOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403129856&sr=8-1&keywords=ipod+classic
TBH when my Sony MP3 player went west a few years ago I got a smart phone & have never looked back0 -
I've kept my 2004-ish 4G iPod going with regular DIY. I've changed the battery a couple of times, and I replaced the hard drive with a little adapter and a CF card so it's now a 30GB solid-state device. I keep it going because it's the best match to the 2004-ish ICE-Link adapter I have in my car. I don't know how easy it is to work on the new Classics, but the older ones are easy. A colleague changed the display in his, and I know someone who's replaced the logic board in one.0

a guy I work with fixes them and sells them on on ebay for a bit of a hobby...talking to him, duff disks are the most common cause of failures, and not difficult to change....try asking someone local (phone/pod repairers) for a quote
......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple

Good idea. The problem with mine is that it doesn't connect and therefore the charge has gone.a guy I work with fixes them and sells them on on ebay for a bit of a hobby...talking to him, duff disks are the most common cause of failures, and not difficult to change....try asking someone local (phone/pod repairers) for a quote0
