older ipod classic 30gb only holding 16 gb of music
my older ipod classic 30GB only gets to about 16GB, then it stops syncing, sounds like its grinding coffee, and also sounds like a tick-tock clock. Is the second half of my ipod junk?

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.
