April 13th: The mini MP3 player that could do no wrong has shown us its true colors. It seems as though the iPod mini outputs crackling sounds from its heaphone jack after use. iPod lounge reports the problem may be a black connector coming loose during use and thus causing the sounds issues. The problem is occouring with users that plug and unplug their headphones on a constant basis. Apple has recieved only a few complaints and the iPod mini is still covered under the one year warranty, so if the problem arrises in your mini, simply call Apple at 18002752273, and they will fix the problem.
