Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Product Description
With 80GB or 160GB of storage, iPod classic gives your music and video room to move. It also has plenty of energy (up to 40 hours of audio playback), good looks (a sleek, all-metal design), and a great personality (a brand-new interface with Cover Flow). In other words, iPod classic makes an ideal companion.

Cover Flow
If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod classic, you can flip through your music to find the album you want to hear. Use the Click Wheel to browse music by album cover, then select an album to flip it over and see the track list.

Thinner and more compact than ever.
Music
Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, browse in Cover Flow, or explore the Music menu by playlist, artist, album, song, genre, composer, and more. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod classic makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright, color display.

Movies
Buy movies from the iTunes Store and you can sync them to your iPod classic to watch anywhere, anytime. The gorgeous 2.5-inch display makes your movies pop. And iPod classic keeps you entertained for up to 7 hours. Long flight or darkened room? Adjust the brightness for even more video playback time.

TV Shows
There's always something good on iPod classic. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just $1.99 each, then sync them to iPod classic. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon.

Podcasts
The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod classic. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Audiobooks
The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks--including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series--so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod classic takes you. iPod classic recognizes where you left off and bookmarks your place. You can even adjust the reading speed to suit you.

Games
Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod classic comes with three games--Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike--and you can download more from the iTunes Store for $4.99 each. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display.

Photos
iPod classic holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows--complete with music and transitions--on iPod classic or on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Search
With up to 40,000 songs on your iPod classic, you need an easy way to search your collection. A built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you're looking for. iPod classic returns results instantly as you select letters.

Extras
Calendars, contacts, and a clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the screen lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod classic from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, just reset when you sync. Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.


Product Description

1 out of 5 stars not able to pop in a battery   July 16, 2008
 0 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have NEVER understood the hype about ipods... GREATEST DISADVANTAGE, YOU CANNOT PUT IN ANOTHER BATTERY, when it's empty. Should be possible to switch a battery as easy as it is with a cellphone and a a digital camera.
You're on a holiday trip, or at the beach, and halfway, you run out of power... LAUGHABLE.
and when the battery is dead in 3 or 4 years time, you can send it off to an apple center to have another one put in for 60 dollar. PLUS shipping costs...
My idea about this is that all people who are soooo drawn into the ipod hype have lost their brain.



5 out of 5 stars Just what you'd expect from Apple - Quality!   July 16, 2008
This is my 3rd Apple iPod, the first being a 2G Nano, the second, and the one I just replaced, a 5G 60Gb Classic. From the beginning I have been impressed with the build quality of the iPod. Sturdy and nicely engineered, they not only look the business, they deliver the goods.

The only reason I upgraded to the 6G 160Gb product was because I had no space left on my 60Gb unit....!
Having read through most of the reviews - complimentary ones as wells as the not so flattering ones - my assessment is that aside from a few minor changes, some would say not for the better, I think this iPod more than lives up to the iPod reputation.
The 6G unit is built to the same high engineering standards as the others, and personally I think the user interface is even nicer. Is the "Cover Flow" functionality useful? Perhaps it is to some, but personally I don't use it, however, that isn't a negative for the iPod. Is the sound quality still good? To my ear it hasn't changed, so yes it's still amazing using Boss Quiet Comfort h/phones.

So to those who were less than impressed with the 6G, I appreciate your comments, but perhaps for the majority of users this is still a more than adequate audio device. In summary, a well engineered, high quality MP3 player, and still way ahead of anything else on the market in my opinion.

For those people thinking of buying one, don't be put off by the negative reviews. At least "test-drive" one first, either a friend's or one in a store, before you decide to pass it by.

Onwards and upwards to 20k+ songs and counting...



5 out of 5 stars Awesome Ipod. Glad I picked this over ITouch   July 16, 2008
I have had several Ipods and was debating whether to upgrade to an ITouch or just get a Classic. I am glad I picked Classic. This is definitely a big improvement from the 5th generation. Love it, love it, love it. Love the space and transfer is lightning fast. Much much better. If ITouch comes in 80GB, I would probably get it. But its new technologies do not make it as good a PDA as a Palm TX, unfortunately (I'm talking about professional software, not pretty but empty applications). My old cable doesn't work with this new Classic. But no biggie, it comes with its own cable anyway. Too bad it doesn't come with earbud covers and a soft cover. Still, everything else has improved.. contacts, alarm, calendar, etc... things that I don't care about. But nice to have them improved. I might actually get to use them. Five+ stars!


5 out of 5 stars When it comes to MP3, there is only one king!   July 15, 2008
Apple ipods are simply the best MP3 players and software implementation. I have tried several now and one can fill up these puppies in a hurry!

I'd always go with the largest HD size, for the acceptable form factor. I always travel with my ipod :)



5 out of 5 stars iPod Classic 160GB - it's second to none!   July 15, 2008
It's a must have gizmo! Besides the fantastic jukebox features it makes for an incredibly handy backup device for all my computer files; with unfailing ease it permits me to safeguard all my picture source and document files!
