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.
With 80GB or 160GB of storage, iPod classic gives your music and video room to move. View iPod classic dimensions. Up to 40 hours of audio playback in the palm of your hand. View larger. Thinner and more compact than ever. 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 Theres 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 nights 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.
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 youre 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.

Customer Reviews & Opinions
Lots of gigs.
I had purchased this ipod for my fiancee for his birthday. At first I didn’t think that anyone would ever use over 30 GB’s, but he has used approximately 100 of the 160 GB’s. It has been almost a year since I gave it to him and it is still going strong. Ipods are great to have, because of the amount of music, pictures, movies & podcasts that can be stored on them. If you have never purchased an ipod there is one catch that is a drawback to having one as compared to an MP3 player and that is that if you want to add music to it and your computer is down you can’t hook it up to someone elses computer to do it or else you will lose all of the music you already have on it. It is one of the longest lasting MP3 players and you pay for what you get. It has a lot of other ways to recharge it other than your computer such as the docks with speakers wall plug ins that many other MP3 players don’t have. I have purchased a number of MP3 players that were not ipod for my nieces and nephews and have found that in less than a year most of them were no longer working. Even some of the lower GB ipods don’t have the quality that this one has.
Best purchase I’ve made in a while.
I was nervous about this purchase at first, I am not a very tech-oriented person so I couldn’t get over the hump of software issues friends have had in the past.
However, after purchasing and familiarizing myself with the software I couldn’t be happier. 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 interface it’s self….
I’d highly recommend this to anyone. As I fill it up I keep trying to decide if I should go for another 120 gig or something smaller, it’ll probably be the 120gig classic.
Same Apple flaws, but buy it while you can!
I have no idea why Apple decided to make the one classic size 120 G instead of say, 200. The size of these hard drives keep going down, so why not put in a big one? The only real complaint that I have about this particular model is that if you listen carefully you can hear the hard drive stop and start between tracks. My 80 g sounds smoother. The software is cool; you have constantly shifting photos of album covers when you have music selected, or photos when you have photos selected, and so forth. I do have more crashes than before but this has not been a problem. One small issue; the album covers are smaller than was previously the case. This larger size is still a great deal. Buy one while they’re still available. (Still looking for that detachable/rechargeable battery!)
