The problem is the annonce say bad battery but it was not only a bad battery but also a bad hhd so i have to change everythings to get a brend new one. The procedure to change the hhd and baterry are quite easy but coast some monay. But at the end you get a brand new ipod 4th generation who at my eye the best music player in the world.

I have a newer 2GB mp3 player but it was small and used a toggle switch/joystick controller. I have arthritis in my fingers and it was awkward to use it. My daughter has an ipod and it is much easier to use than the one I already had. I opted for a refurbished 4th generation ipod because of price and because I only wanted audio. Don't need video. Also, it has a ton of space. So, far I am quite happy with this 4th gen ipod. It is easy to use and does not make my fingers and thumbs hurt. It has a ton of space, which makes me very happy. The sound quality is not quite as good as my newer mp3 player, but I am willing to sacrifice that for the ease of use. Win-win for me.
I am very happy with this Ipod and got it at a very fair price. It was clean and well taken care of and works great. I have a Shuffle and the difference between 1GB and 40GB is amazing when it comes to loading songs. I have loaded all 5 of the playlists I used for my Shuffle and can load many more. I cannot imagine ever playing all this music at one time. The only complaint I have is that the 4th generation is slightly thicker and heavier than the newer models but not much. As for a color screen vs the black and white I would rather save the money and use the black and white. I do need color LCD and a album cover for every selection the name of the band and track is enough. I wanted this Ipod for music only so video is not important to me. Besides the small screen is a joke for anyone over 40. My kids say they like the color screen and the size of theirs better but I do not carry this everywhere I go so size does not make that much difference. I still use my shuffle for the beach or where less than 12 hours of music is used but when I travel I now take my Classic with a set of monitor speakers for the hotel and headphones for when I tune everything out. After having and using a Shuffle for a while this Ipod Classic 40GB is a huge step forward and I am happy with it and glad that I won the auction. It is a keeper and so is my little Shuffle.

It's probably not a good idea to buy this iPod when there are video ipods to buy--the price premium is worth it in my opinion. I got an excellent deal on this iPod, but otherwise, I probably would've gotten a video--I would only lose 10GB and I would gain the ability to use the RockBox firmware with RockBoy support so that I could play gameboy games on my iPod. That said, the RockBox firmware and iPodLinux firmware both work on a whole variety of ipods, from the 4G one I have up to the video ones, but not including the new ipod classics and new ipod nanos. If you're interested, check them out at www.rockbox.org and www.ipodlinux.org.
This 40gb 4th generation refurbished iPod is remarkable. All functions work as new and the sound reproduction is excellent. The battery life after a charge appears to be about 7-8 hours. The click wheel performs perfectly. I have always favored the 4th generation iPod over the newer models and I have not been disappointed. Thanks Christopher!

The things I love most about this item is the sound quality and the fact I can listen to many hours of music and not hear the same some unless I want. I can listen through the docking station or earphones and although I have not used any of these menus, you have audio books, and contacts. What I dislike is even on the docking station it does not hold a very good charge and it freezes up even on the docking station. I actually have a iPod 4 classic with 30Gb that I get a lot more battery life out of. I hope this is helpful.

This was one of the best ebay purchases I've made. I was sceptacle at first, you never buy used electronics from ebay, but the price was excellent so I decided to go for it. The purchase was made for my daughter to replace the iPod she dropped into water. At first the iPod didn't want to sync with her computer and seemed to be messing with her laptop. We immediately unplugged the iPod and ran scans on her computer. Nothing harmful was found. Then we went to Apple.com to research the error code we were getting for the iPod. After some research and reading, we discovered a fix that had worked for another person. So we tried it. It took a couple of trys, but she was able to restore it back to the factory setting. It took two trys to restore it, and all night to charge it, but it works like new. I guess we got lucky with this one.Read full review
Good battery life and it sounds as good as a CD, reasonably live new vinyl sounds better but the sampling rate is much higher and these songs don't suffer from wear. I like it and this one is as big as I really will ever use and I hate using my Iphone for MP3s
