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.

Up to 40 hours of audio playback in the palm of your hand. View larger.
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.



Experience a whole new way to browse and view your music and video. Use the patented Click Wheel to flip through your music by album cover. Beautifully redesigned, iPod classic features a sleek, new all-metal enclosure.

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.

4 out of 5 stars Best electronic investment I've ever made   August 22, 2008
Aside from the unfortunate fact that you must use iTunes, I'm thrilled with my 80G iPod. I was concerned about dropping that much money for one item, in case that the novelty would wear off and it would gather dust somewhere. I keep it with me all the time (I HIGHLY suggest buying a good protective case for it - I bought a hard plastic case from iSkin that I'm very happy with). I like the large capacity, so I can keep my entire music library, many podcasts and a bunch of audio books available at all times. Other than learning the hard way how to use iTunes, and how to recover when the database crashes, I love my iPod, and have certainly got my money's worth.


5 out of 5 stars My First iPod! :)   August 21, 2008
Hi folks. I have waited for years to try an iPod. I figured after 8 years, Apple should have all the bugs worked out by now. And for the most part they do. The sound of this iPod is great. You should be using Sony MDR headphones for the given quality of your music. I sample my mp3s into 256K, Normal Sterio, and NO VBR.

My iPod has never skipped a song. It always finishes the song clean and nice. The menus could use a little optimizing as they are sometimes skittish. But they eventually work great.

I give this iPod 5 stars for the sheer sound quality playback it gives. Great Job Apple. It is so nice to have an iPod. No more CDs! :)

4 out of 5 stars Ipod Classic160GB   August 21, 2008
I THINK THAT THE IPOD CLASSIC IS A REALLY GOOD IPOD. THEY CHANGED MANY DETAILS FROM THE LAST IPOD BUT IT ISN'T A VERY BIG DEAL. SOMETHING THAT I DON'T LIKE IS THAT YOU CAN'T ZOOM INTO PICTURES.


5 out of 5 stars I Love It! :D   August 20, 2008
I love my new ipod. my first ipod was the mini [first generation] and it stopped working within a year. there was nothing i could do about it, so i was pretty disappointed. i debated about whether to purchase this new ipod, [sixth generation] but decided to give it a shot. I've had it for a month now, and i love it! There's so much to do on there, that you won't be bored. I'm very satisfied with this product.


4 out of 5 stars IPOD Classic 80gb   August 20, 2008
After owning and being very happy with SANSA (Sandisk product)with the exception of not being able to add more than 2 gb storage. I purchased the IPOD 80gb classic. I was mildly dissapointed in that you have to use the i-tunes software to manage (store or remove)the media on the i-pod. Unlike the Sansa, the i-pod does not come with a built in am-fm radio. Overall, dollar for dollar, the i-pod (for storage and amount of media that can be stored) is the better of the two products. The software (in my opinion) from i-tunes is not very user friendly. I consider myself pretty computer savy, however this software has given me several unpleasant surprises by not knowing all the in's and out's of this software.
