It was acting up so I decided to format it. Even the formatting was acting up, but eventually I got there.
Started up iTunes, which installed some software on my iPod and rebooted my iPod.
Everything froze instantly, iTunes, Windows Explorer, Winamp (which I prefer a gazillion times over iTunes) and the iPod itself...
Need to buy a new iPod Classic 160GB, and that sucks... Ah well

You might try replacing the cable first. Apple's iPod cables are pretty robust, but they do develop bent/tarnished pins that can cause intermittent problems.

Well, it didn't work at all anymore, even without the cable attached.
I already ordered a new one (about 50 euro's cheaper than in the Apple store ) and I expect it on tuesday.
I mostly use it at work anyway, so I'll only have two days without an iPod. Luckily I got some spare mp3's I can listen to

I play CD's in the car. Call me old fashioned, but I still buy CD's... Only listen to them in the car though. And I don't drive a lot. Maybe once or twice a month and only short distances
I use my iPod at work and on vacations mostly. Once in a while when I go out cycling. I have a key to the office and I live only three minutes away, so I can pick it up whenever I want to

I'm in the car for about an hour a day, with my commute to/from work and errands. I can put 150-175 songs on the nano, which is good for about two weeks.
The classic I carry to/from work, because I keep my music library on my home machine. Like you, I still buy CD's. I've bought some music online, but I always tend to burn a CD of it for archival purposes.

Whenever I get new mp3's I put them on a usb memory stick which I take to work to put them on my iPod there
I don't buy music online... I buy it physically to listen to it in the car, on my stereo (as an alarm clock), to enjoy the artwork and to support the band/label.
If I wanted an mp3 I'd just download it ehhh... without buying it

That looks like your hard drive failed. if you have extra time in hand, you can buy 1.8" hitachi hdd and replace it. but that will cost around $110.00, so it's better to buy new iPod.
The only thing is you will see, is the downgraded sound quality in the new iPods. also Classic and Shuffle has better sound quality than Touch and Nano.

I'm not very good with technical stuff, so I'll pass on replacing the hard drive myself.
A friend was very interested in dissecting the iPod, so I gave it to him. Told him if he could fix it he may keep it. He was very happy. He's an *gawk* Apple fanboi...

...means he will tell you in few days that your iPod sounds great even if it is not working.

Probably
He's typical like that. Never heard him say anything bad about Apple, ever. Even after all our discussions.
