If you are one of the few people who listen to the iPod with a pair of 150 dollar headphones and rip your compact disks at 320 kbps, you will notice an unnatural bass and treble response with the "new" chip

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

If you like to have a hard disk with a lot of music with a good software, practical and fast, i telling you, buy this ipod with 80gb ibut never let it go down to the floor

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

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)

At first, I was afraid to buy a hard-disk based mp3 player because of the life of the things, but it is the cheapest way to get that much space for all of your videos, photos, music, etc.

Needs to be solid state rather than the disk with moving parts that it has to avoid jumping when it is jarred

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

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