Hit 50,000 hours on my old Zune without a single crash, then it died today

Pulled it out this morning and it just gave me the sad face logo, after all those miles on the bus in Portland... guess the hard drive finally gave up. Anyone know if that one guy on eBay still swaps them with a CF card, or am I just stuck with a brick now?

Read somewhere that those old Zunes actually outlast most modern phones if you treat them right. Props for getting fifty thousand hours, that's like six years of constant play. The CF card swap is still a thing, last I checked that guy in Ohio does it for like sixty bucks. But honestly, shipping it cross country and waiting two weeks just to listen to, what, thirty gigs of music? Might be cheaper to find another one at a thrift store. Mine died back in 2015 and I just gave up and went back to CDs in the car.
