| I used to listen to music on my iPod Nano but now I have my new 160gb. It holds so much, I can't even think of how to fill it. It does what its supposed to do, hold music and tons of it. Great iPod!! |

| Always wanted one when first came out. I have a large music, video and podcast collection. The added storage is a big advantage. I also have many audiobooks and plan on adding more material to my collection. Randy |

 "Great iPod, great upgrade, but you might not want to throw away you 5th Gen Ipod yet..." | 2009-11-09 |

This is the second iPod I own. The first one was a 30 Mb 5th Generation Ipod Video.
First, the plus.
There are many improvements in the 7th generation comparing it to the 5th, although I think most of them were introduced with the 6th Gen. The whole Cover Flow/Genius capabilities are definetly an improvement to the previous software. The games are a nice bonus. I've only had it for three days, but I can already see that I like the new interface a lot more.
And the disk space, I mean, WOW! The ipod is basically the same size as my 30 Gb one, but it's capacity is over 5 times bigger. I am an avid music fan, have tons of music, and my musical taste ranges from ambient to heavy metal, but I think it's going to be a long time before I fill this one up. I think this is the best feature of this iPod, and by itself, the reason you should buy it.
There are also video capabilities, which have always been a plus, and some other stuff, but I didn't see a major difference from the previous versions.
But then, why did I give it 4 stars? I wanted 4.5 stars, but Amazon doesn't let me do that.
Here are the cons.
First, as previous reviewers have stated, the sound quality seems to have downgraded from the 5th Gen iPod. The sound lacks depth, the songs sound more flat. I don't mean to say that the sound is bad, because it still has a very good sound, and I've tested it with headphones, computer speakers and my car stereo. I'm just saying that the 5th Generation iPod sounds better, and the difference is quite noticeable.
The other thing, which might be just my iPod, because I didn't see other reviewers mentioning it, is that the click wheel seems to be less sensitive/responsive than the 5th Generation one. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is annoying sometimes that you try so select a song or an option on the menu and the wheel doesn't respond right away.
There's also the fact that using Cover Flow seems to make the iPod proccess slower, but then again, loading the covers of literally thousands of records is not a quick task, and you can always not use Cover Flow, so I won't hold this against the iPod.
To sum it all up. If you have a lot of music and want to carry it all with you; if 30, 60, 80 or 120 Gb is just not enough; if this is your first iPod purchase, or if you just really, really like the new interface and games (I know I did), then I highly reccomend it, and you won't be dissapointed. To me this is definetly the best music player on the market. You will need to sit down and learn how to use iTunes, but when you do, you're just going to love this little gadget.
However, if you have a 5th generation iPod that's working just fine, and you prefer sound quality to disk space, you might not want to buy this one. Just try to be more more picky with the songs you put on it, I guess.

The title of my review sums it up. Unless you own as many CDs as I do you cannot truly appreciate the iPod as much as I do. I have over 3000 CDs collected since 1987. If you piled all those CDs in their cases on top of each other...well how high would that be? Pretty high huh.. Well, all of that can fit into an iPod hardly an inch thick. That just blows my mind still everything I am listening to it. Other music lovers like I with thousands of CDs can really appreciate the 160g iPod Classic!
I had an 80g 5th generation, but I have heard talk that this could be the last iPod Classic. I didn't want to take any chances, and decided to purchase the 160g before they possibly discontinue the Classic. I definitely hope they keep the Classic going though. I'd love to see a 320g.
I will say I like my 80g a bit more as far as it doesn't have the cover flow, album covers, etc. I don't care about that. I have an iPhone as well, but my iPod is for music and lots of it. Since I have so much music I just want to scroll through them as fast as I can and get to the right title. This is by no means a deal-breaker just a minor inconvenience. I have some movies on the Classic, but this baby is for music listening!
I could go on and on forever, but nothing can compare to the iPod! I am still laughing at my friend who bought a Zune HD that crapped out on him in less than a week.

 "crappy suport for audio books" | 2009-11-01 |

| The support for audio books sux. the only way to view them is sorted by title. have theese people never been to a library? when you are trying to find a book you go by author then title, when everthing is listed by title only it is a p.i.t.a trying to find books. Also the software update that is avail won't load from vista 64b. Used my 1 free call to tech sup. to ask about theese things & was told that this was fault of operating sys, funny i thought software was supposed to be designed to work with os not the other way around. as for the prob with audio book sorting i was told that was bcuz i didn't get books from istore, i guess downloading from istore adds menu options to ipod that rn't there otherwise. felt more like i was being talking to a salesman than a tech support specialist. I did manage to find out that i could go by apple store & get software update installed free but this was not pointed out to me tell i asked if it was so. Yet they think i shlould pay more money to have access to more of the same. Until they have seriouly changed there attitude i will NOT be buying anymore apple products! |
