second one I've owned, basically because I wanted a dedicated mp3 player and apple made them the best. They shouldn't have discontinued the product because it is so good, so if you can get your hands on one, do it. What separates apple ipod from say, streaming spotify is that A) it has ratings 1-5 stars for songs B) it has smart playlists, which you can create using a wide assortment of criteria and logic, and they update on the fly. This feature is NOT available for any other way of listening to music C) you can import any mp3 or lossless file, including songs you've made yourself or really obscure music that no streaming service has. Plus you can load audiobooks. The 160GB of storage is more than generous and supports my ever-growing music library.

The ipod worked great for about a couple weeks until I noticed that a song I had loaded on it wasn't playing. After repeated attempts at fixing this problem, all songs on the ipod suddenly stopped playing. I restored it to it's factory settings, hoping that would clear up any corruption, but after that, itunes would not even recognize my ipod. Now I can't even get on the ipod's menu and it is barely functioning in any respect.

This is my second 160GB iPod Classic, and after 4 years, the first one is still going strong. Although the Classic is the largest ipod in the Apple line-up, and the only one with a hard drive (not SSD), the Classic also has the huge GB capacity to hold my uncompressed, lossless recordings (uncompressed file size is 128kbps, vs. 1000kbps+ for lossless). Simply put, lossless takes up a lot more room, which means less music capacity. With lossless, I get about 37-50 individual songs @ 4 minutes per GB. Uncompressed gets about 250 songs @ 4 minutes for each GB. I'll get 5000+ songs vs. 40,000, but I can always save the overflow on iTunes, and pick which songs to load on the Classic. If you want audiophile quality in a MP3 player, the 160GB Classic is the one to get (and get a really nice pair of headphones). Battery life: definitely not 36 hours, closer to 24. Features: mobile version of itunes. Design: intuitively Apple (simple, easy to use. Overall value: Good if you want lots of space.Read full review
I bought this product because I needed an mp3 player with a lot of memory. At first, I was torn between this and an iPod Touch. Since I have a smartphone with all of the features an iPod Touch offers, I decided to go with the iPod Classic. This is obviously a great buy if you have a ton of music that you regularly listen to. This (7th) generation model is thinner than the previous models, so it's a little bit less of a brick. The only thing that bothers me is that this product has moving parts in it. I knew this when I bought it, but I hoped Apple would have found a way to get rid of that after so many years. I don't think the moving parts make it any more fragile than other iPod products, since it seems to be solid. If you treat it well, you'll never have to find out. If you're looking for something ultra-light and flashy with a lot of features, keep looking. On the other hand, if you want a quality mp3 player with a handful of useful features and a good amount of memory for audio/video playback, I think you'll be very happy with this product.Read full review
The iPod works just like it has always worked. However, I can't tell if it is my laptop or the device itself but I've had to sync the device several times for each of the separate types of media in order to get all of my media onto the device. I'm still trying to figure out what the problem is but once things are synced the iPod works just like it should. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is this quirky thing.
