She wants a Linux compatible iPod-like device to replace her current iPod which has a failing battery. It's as simple as that.Replace the battery, preferably with a third party enhanced version? I have done several of these and still have an ancient donated 3rd gen iPod working perfectly with an upgraded HDD and battery. Of course, you can't do this with a Nano or other properly sealed unit (easily). For added points flash a 3rd party firmware such as rockbox if possible.
It's a 2nd generation, 8GB iPod nano...However it seems that she's been doing her own homework and has found some that will plug into the same docking speakers she has and are advertised as working with Linux... So there's hope yet.
