Hi guys
i have my ipod mini 4gig in a pouch which is supposed to be for mobile
this pouch closes and lock in place with aid of magnetic clips
these magnets are pretty strong..
will these magnets affect the performance of my ipod in anyway?

test yourself, in most cases, your Harddisk might get erased, so copy something & try to play in it

yeah I think it will affect . Generally its said that magentic storage media should not be kept next to any magnetic thing.

It may not directly affect but overtime it MAY
