    Apple MC297LL/A iPod Classic MP3/MP4 Player 160GB Black (7th Generation) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

    • This amazing mp3 player from Apple truly surpassed its predecessors from audio quality to storage capacity
    • , they're not great music players because they lack the space to really hold a quality music library.
    • my wife thinks this is the IDEAL mp3 player, so i ordered two.
    • The best music player
    • Otherwise, it is still a solid mp3 player.
    • iPod is the perfect music player for size, storage, user-friendliness
    • The iPod Touch may have killed off the Classic, but this is their best music player due to the ridiculously high storage capacity
    • No I do not want you syncing all of the content on the entire computer, thank you.)But if I can get past the aggravation of being treated like a moron in the name of sales, this little media player is just right
    • Looked like a cheap MP3 player put into a fake ipod casing
    • I wanted to love this player
    • Mind you, I'm not an Apple fanboy by any stretch; I have an Android phone and run Win/Linux on my laptops, but this iPod really doesn't have a rival as a dedicated portable media player.
    • excellent music player
    • As Apple downsizes the storage capacity of their players and continues to make cheaper built devices that remove features rather than expand on them this continues to be one of the best MP3 players to ever come to the market.
    • The iPod Classic remains the best dedicated music player on the market today.
    • I don't even need it now, but these are the greatest MP3 players ever made.
    • if you have a lot of music and need a portable player that's easy to learn, fun to use and sounds terrific, this iPod 160G classic is just what the doctor ordered
    • best music player
    • great player, plays well , has large capacity
    • this is the best mp3 player you can get.
    • The iPod Classic is the perfect mp3 player for those who want a device that plays music and nothing more.
    • I also enjoy the free Amazon cloud player and the ease in which integration takes place.
    • [I still do thought I don't use it because the hardrive is damaged] I just gotta say that this is one of the most amazing mp3 players you can get out there
    • not only does this act as a majestic music player, it also acts as a mini external hard drive
    • Highly recommend as a quality mp3 player with a ton of storage.**UPDATE 11/14 -
    • Mind you, I'm not an Apple fanboy by any stretch; I have an Android phone and run Win/Linux on my laptops, but this iPod really doesn't have a rival as a dedicated portable media player.
    • This player handles it, no problem
    • It's the best player, it's a pitty they don't produce it anymore
    • IPod classics are arguably the best music players for those with a large collection
    • The Classic is the only option if you are interested in buying CDs, ripping them in a high quality format, and keeping your entire collection in a portable player.
    • Unless and until another product allows me to carry 20,000+ songs in my pocket with good sound quality and reliable functionality, the iPod Classic 160 GB will remain the king of portable music players.
    • The player was defective.
    • It's an amazing mp3 player.
    • Anyway, fantastic mp3 player
    • My player worked fine for a while.. maybe the first year or 14 months, although I immediately noticed that the sou8nd quality was audibly inferior to my Creative and even to my little Sandisk
    • But the player is good, if only apple would make software like the zune it would be great.
    • The player is beautiful, has a nice matte metal look in front, and a very glossy metal on the back
    • The new Sony NWZ 17 is an excellent player, had capacity with adding to 192 GB, it has audio which is so superior to the Ipods, that i wondered how i tolerated the latter so long, and it is intelligently designed and beyond easy to use the interface
    • I want a true MP3 player like the Classic provides and it's a real shame Apple has discontinued and retired the best players they've ever made
    • Best mp3 player that's ever been made
    • This device was the best player to ever hit the market, and allowed us non-Apple, non-IOS users who didn't care that they had to carry an "extra" device an easy way to use iTunes and bring our music with us
    • If you haven't experienced the sound of a better player you might not notice it, but once you have the difference is clear
    • and I know it's only a matter of time before it craps out, but damn it, this is still the best portable music player ever
    • I need a solid music player with lots of storage and the ability to find what I want to play
    • Excellent music player that does not disappoint
    • Best Music Player money can buy!160GB is thus far the largest for any music player
    • It works exactly as I expected and was in great condition.
    • Baffling as to why Apple stopped making such a great iPod.
    • Now the replacement has died as of February 2014.
