I've never worked on a 4th gen Nano, but am led to believe they're something of an arsehole to take apart, particularly if the battery has swollen. You'll know if it has by a black blob in the middle of the screen. To dismantle them, you have to slide the inner gubbins out of the end, which is basically impossible if the battery is wedging everything tight.

It might be worth picking up a Mini or something. They're fairly easy to refurbish and flashmod. Mine has 128gb currently.

Thanks for the information. The battery in my iPod isn't swollen yet, and I guess I can dismantle it if I have to. For now, I'm fine with having my phone also being my music device, but I'll keep it in mind. Again, thanks!
