 I've got one!!! Size matters.. September 9, 2007

Ok guys, I just picked up my silver iPod classic 160gb from the Apple store on Regent Street in London so I can give an actual review on it.
I've had an 80GB video iPod for a year and it's already full, so I was really hoping Apple would make an iPod big enough for me. Presently I've got 110GB (and counting) of music, so this iPod is for people like me who have a large music collection, and who like to be able to take it anyplace.
The 160GB iPod is the same size as the 80gb, but costs less than the 80GB did when it first came out.
With a brushed aluminium front finish (similar to the 2 and 3G Nanos), it should be less prone to scratching, though the back is the same smudge magnet, and I don't know how resilient the screen is. The front is curvier than that of the last 2 video iPods, with the screen slightly depressed from the rest of the casing.
Additional features are extra long battery life (40 hours for music, 7 hours for video; I've tested this and playing music non stop without much fast forwarding, etc, it's about right), and cover flow (a fun way of scrolling through for music using album cover art, though it is a bit sluggish).
The new split-screen interface lists functions to the left half of the screen, and symbols (or previews of content such as cover art, videos or photos shown as a slide show) to the right as you scroll through the functions. Neat!!
During music playback, after being idle for about 80 seconds, the screen goes gray and displays a clock, and battery power. Viewing tracks in an album also gives you, at a glance, the track times. Same for video. A nice touch. To my hearing, the sound quality (without equalizers, mind you) is improved; more bass and a bit more treble. The iPod turns off in about 2 seconds, much faster than previous models.
It's still got the other regular features; album track lyrics (new, nicer text font, and it also shows the album art), can play video and games, store photos, contacts, calendar, notes, stopwatch, and screen lock (which allows you to lock the screen with a password), and it can be used as an external hard drive. It shows up in windows explorer as an external drive. The search feature allowing one to type in album/song/artist titles (introduced in the last video iPod) is still there, but relocated to the "music" menu. I didn't spot it at first. In fact, the menu has been reshuffled to make it better, and (under settings) one can now view number of songs, videos, photos, etc graphically just like in iTunes.
If you need loads of space for your music collection, you can't go wrong getting this. Judging from the crowds in the store, Apple's got another hit here. Now if only the iPod touch had this much memory...
bad reviews are misleading October 14, 2007

I read the bad reviews here and they are all very particular and specific and odd (i.e., the problems these people are having will probably never happen to you). This version of the iPod is probably going to be the last in its line before they switch over completely to the iPod Touch version. But when I was trying to figure out which one to go with RIGHT NOW, the Touch is 400 freakin' dollars and it only has 16 GB on it! That's nothing as far as I'm concerned - maybe I'm spoiled but I like putting all sorts of things on my iPod besides my entire record collection which is around 35 GB right off the bat. The iPod "Classic" is not perfect or ideal (starting with its stupid name)- the ideal would be an iTouch with 80 GB or higher - but its pretty sweet. The games on it work really well once you get used to the wheel, as far as I know there are no games on the iTouch. The video looks really good on the iPod Classic too. As far as the meat is concerned which is the music, the cover flow works fine - all that stuff about it being too sluggish is b.s. - the sound quality is really good and it comes with about 20 preset EQ settings which are nice. Sync with iTunes is really easy and almost fun and in short its just really simple to use and does the job. My advice is to get this one and wait for Apple to release an iTouch with more GB later, which might take awhile but I just have a hard time paying 400 dollars for 16 gb just so I can move an album cover across the screen with my finger. p.s. yeah, the itouch has the wi-fi internet capability but I have trouble digesting what I read about it, like no java - that's a big setback, most of my favorite websites rely on that -otherwise I'm just looking at an incredibly shrunken version of a website and that doesn't really do much for me.

I saw the 3-star review and I had to chime in. The 3 star reviewer gave it excellent reviews for the music capability, etc, and only downgraded it because he had trouble downloading porn onto it and using it as a PHONE on the internet due to lack of a mic and external speaker. With all due respect to the guy's computer savvy and inventiveness, this is not an iPhone--it's an iPod. I keep 15,000 songs on mine and I still have room for more. The first one I bought had a bug, but apple replaced it and I haven't had a problem since. It works great with my car stereo and as a walkman. This is the iPod that convinced me to "go digital" and break down my huge collection of CDs into storage.

Picked up an 80Gig Black iPod classic today at the Burlingame, CA Apple store. For only $250, you are getting almost 3 times the hard drive space from the previous model (5.5 generation), you also get the new interface, a slimmer body, all metal casing and a super bright screen. I'm selling my 5th generation ipod, which was fairly dim, scratch prone and a duller interface. I'm really impressed with apple products lately. Never being an apple person, they really are starting to change my mine after seeing the newest imacs made of aluminum and glass for a competitive price. I don't need a new computer now but when I do I will consider an imac!
So, tell me why this isn't five stars again? January 17, 2008

I'm just not seeing the flaws reported here or elsewhere.
I have 160Gb -- effectively 154Gb but I'm okay with that -- and I can watch videos, listen to music, see my photo albums, all without much incident. The iTunes interface isn't perfect but you know what? It syncs everything I check or uncheck, and it's very easy to get the iPod to just work right out of the box. My anecdote cancels out yours.
Coverflow. I love it. Do I like having to give my credit card over to Apple so I can get cover art? No, so I didn't. I can get cover art for free using Tag/Rename. And since I don't browse by album cover -- with about 60k songs, I'd never find anything, and there are no album covers for some of my Brazilian music -- I really don't suffer from this. Granted, if you offer 160Gb of space, you have to engineer the software to handle potentially thousands of albums, but I feel they will fix this in time. It's not the hardest problem in the world.
The same jog dial from my Wife's 3G iPod, only a little more tactile feel, works just as well, probably better for someone like me with caffeine-induced twitchiness. Volume is very good, but the EQ is largely annoying so I tend to output with no EQ and let the amplifier handle it, e.g. my car stereo or my PC.
And let me say something about the iPod with respect to the Zune. The Zune, for its WiFiness and video abilities and whatever, cannot function as a hard drive. I can skip the whole iTunes scenario, plug it into my work laptop, fire up Winamp, set the library scan onto my iPod, and the same 11k songs I'm listening to in the car come with me inside. Plus, I get Winamp's control over playlists, etc. The ideal solution for me.
Finally, I checked out video on it, and it looks really, really good. Since video conversion is almost a necessity for most people, just grab a conversion program and let it worry about getting video files in the right format for your iPod. Stop letting the tail wag the dog, and make your files compliant with your devices, not the other way around. In the end, your PC can play anything, so if you've adopted an iPod, then convert to an iPod friendly format and move on.
Sheesh. It holds 60,000 songs and can play all day, in color. What else do you really need? Five stars.
