Don't buy one, stick to the generic cheaper MP3 players, or go with a more expensive one that has the solid state HDD.

With tons of space,(This baby can hold lots of music,I mean lots, and the main reason I bought this,no more bulky portable CD players that only let me listen to one album at a time!!!

So for all of you out there looking for a really great mp3/video player get this

And if you want a great music player that simply works go with an iPod.

Just look at amazon ratings and you'll see that there are other highly rated, cheaper MP3 players out there -- buy one of those!!

, it is flawless and sounds great and the battery life is still incredible

I only address these issues first b/c

The battery life is great, I haven't had to charge it after listening to if for like 8

First of all, the battery life is absolutely ridiculously great

The battery life is excellent for watching videos and playing music

Of course the sound quality isn't as bad as people are saying and sounds just as good through the Ipod as it does through my computer

Its very easy to use and the sound quality is excellent with this setup

The sound quality is great and movie playback perfect, albiet small for my

I listened to the same song on the Ipod and Zen to compare, but I was willing to pass on the slightly worse music quality

NO PIXLEATION FROM VIDEOSALOT OF STORAGE 80GBALL METAL BODYVERY GOOD SOUND QUALITY ESPECIALLY FOR

Great iPod love the sound the company should have keep making them

The classic has great sound, great battery life for music, and the best no-look volume control etc

But I've tried what I know, and can't give the Classic much of a rating when its sound is so bad.

It has a lot of memory, good sound, and its physically -plenty small.

Sound did not work

I got a great deal on this 80 gig iPod, great price, and of course, awesome product!

Wanted space, a great look and at the best price found.

/movies on your tv for the outrageous price of $49.99 and is now inserted in the docking section instead of earphone.

This is a great model at a great price, so I have to give it 5 stars.

The positives in regards to this ipod are of course the 80G space (my previous ipod was a 30G), the cheaper price (my 30G ipod was $300 when i purchased it) and a sleeker overall feel, whether it's the main menu flowing cover art or browsing by category.

marginal battery draining features like Zune's wifi unless you really think that those feature are important to you.

I really love the cover flow feature and use it almost exclusively to access my music because I like seeing a visual representation of my albums

Not a feature I use much for music, so won't miss it too much

Might I say how much I really hated this feature in my car because I always ended up having to use the arrow key buttons to get to the right song

Cover art works intermittently - this would be a very cool feature if it worked properly

The Ipod device itself is pretty reliable and simplistic.

Except for one thing, most older addon devices are incompatible

As a teen in the early 90's I fondly wished that someday in the future I would be able to fit all of my music onto one small, portable device and have any song just a click away

I haven't tried trying to use it as a portable music playing device, but it does serve as a functional disk drive

so maybe I will notice a slight drag when the disc is closer to full, but let's be fair here and admit that the non-Nana ipods are hard drive devices and you should allow a LITTLE patience

I listened to the same song on the Ipod and Zen to compare, but I was willing to pass on the slightly worse music quality

Of course, I never noticed this issue because I had no problem syncing my music in this format with my Zen

Turned on once, played 0 music, looks completely trashed and won't stay on

I love my music loud and have been deprived of tons of my cd's and good stereo system for some time now

I love having all my music, pictures, and even some files right there!

The new 80 Gb is garbage, it freezes itunes when you plug it into usb.

In March 2012 I purchased a classic 80gb ipod from this seller

I bought an Ipod classic 6th generation 80GB and couldn't be happier with it

Large storage capacityCons:- like I said, slightly slower than 5g- the click wheel, while working completely fine when used directly, can be unresponsive at times when used through a cover- cover flow, while being good eye candy, is not very useful; though the new firmware has sped things up, it drains the life out of the battery in no time (compared to the 40 hours I got using the normal menu, I got only about 6-8 hours with cover flow)

It has more features then his other 80GB IPod, which was stolen.

I would NOT recommend the classic but a flash based iPod instead

I highly recommend the IPod Classic, especially if you travel a great deal

In my opinion the iPod classic is extremely user friendly.

You pay more for these alternatives and they are not as pretty or light as the iPod Classic

My original Classic was stolen and this new one is my replacement

The guy said that, if you carry the ipod around (actually expect it to be portable), it's common for the side to get "pinched" which ruins the screen and they consider it your fault

I'm hoping there is a way to turn off the split screen and have just the regular view

The screen is much darker so you can't see it without the backlight, and there isn't an option to turn off the backlight either.

Less than two months later, he goes to use it and the screen is messed up on the inside.

The screen has a big scuff on it, and the click wheel is horrible

The perfect i pod for people with a lot of music and videos.

I received this as a requested Christmas gift and was very much looking forward to having an easily portable drive that could play my CD collection at home as well as at work with docking stations, or, wherever I chose with the headphones.

After the 1.0.2 firmware fix there still seemed to be a lot of negative feedback about menu sluggishness, battery drain and the sort

ive dropped it many times with no case on it and it works great still not as

marginal battery draining features like Zune's wifi unless you really think that those feature are important to you.

If your computer crushes, it is difficult finding the correct software to purchase in order to get your songs back from your ipod onto your new computer (Itunes Library).

My first complaint is that I find iTunes is awful software

The software was so hard to navigate, getting songs on was a hassle, and the player constantly froze

I would recommend not purchasing this iPod until a SIGNIFICANT software update is released

With Microsoft's reputation with their BUGGY products and software I stayed away from the Zune

But after reading all the reviews of the MP3 players available, I decided to go with an Ipod - and I'm glad I did.

*Before you read some of the negative reviews, please consider this was BEFORE the new firmware

I had read a few negative reviews about this iPod version before I bought one, but now I wonder if these people have too much time on their hands

Many negative reviews are from techs who look at the new iPod Classic and see an inferior audio chip and a few other things compared to previous versions

Works as it should and looks brand new.

and because it just so happened to begon failing after the 30day period i cannot return this waste of money broken ipod

The only thing this accomplished was moderately solving my problem by totally destroying my hard disk and eliminating the ability to sync the ipod at all

Apple 80 GB iPod classic (Black)I still remember my first iPod

I wish I could have a normal and supported way to get the music back to my hard disk, but the iPod efficiency has been outstanding

If you buy iTunes store music at the 128-192 kbps compression rate, or rip your compact disks without changing anything in iTunes, then your music will sound almost identical to the 5.5 gen iPod Video even with expensive headphones

Eventually downgraded my itunes to see if that was the problem

This is honestly one of the best purchases I've made in a long time, I've had zero issues with the iPod itself and iTunes has been great, aside from a few grouping/syncing issues which ended up being the user rather than the

I love how easy iTunes is to use and how fast it syncs my music, TV episodes and movies and

Caution must understand that itunes which you must use can be extremely aggravating to use

iTunes is still proprietary, and I would love to see the iPod have a hard disk indexing system like spotlight that would allow dragging and dropping so I could use Finder or Windows Explorer to move files around and put them in the folders I thought made since (Think external hard drive with an interface on the go)

Money well spent

instead I wasted my money on an ipod someone stole and decided to sell on amazon

I think iPod likes to suck your money away, because there is no FM tuner radio, and it costs almost another $50 to have that

Not worth the money to have to restore it all the time.

but there's no point in throwing good money after bad

In addition, my computer freezes up most times that I plug the iPod in

The middle button is pushed in and slanted and it crashed my computer when i plugged it up

When I attempted to sync the ipod, it immediately froze my computer when plugged in

I have yet to figure out how to get some of my movies on my iPod with out destroying my computer.

Now, I'm not the most computer savvy person, but I know there is no way to conveniently fix this, since I've come across numerous forums regarding this very issue.

This is a huge jump in capacity for the low end hard drive ipod.

I received this as a requested Christmas gift and was very much looking forward to having an easily portable drive that could play my CD collection at home as well as at work with docking stations, or, wherever I chose with the headphones.

This can easily be used as a portable hard drive if needed

It also maybe that its just hard drive based that causes this sluggishness

the device itself is great, click wheel works perfectly, movies look great and hard drive size is awesome
