I have the same problem with my iPhone. My HD crashed, and all my songs and pictures went along with it. So all my stuff is stuck on my iPhone, and I have no way of getting it out. I can't even update it to the new firmware, and half the apps don't work because the newer version is required. Fuck Apple
I had the exact same problem with my G1, except that nothing like that has ever, nor will ever happen to it.
just run the battery down to zero and throw it in the freezer for at least 12 hours, 24 preferably. take the ipod out of the freezer, and slide it gently (yet firmly) between your buttocks. if you can slide an ipod between the cheeks of a female, take a picture & post it here so that i can tell you if it's situated correctly. pics from multiple angles is best. keep ipod in between butt cheeks until ipod is roughly your body temperature. remove ipod, charge ipod.
