Customer Review: Not for Classical
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're into rock, hip hop, jazz ect, generally any music except for classical you will love your ipod. I put all my non classical cd's in it, and I had in it with no problem Dave Matthews, U2 so on and so forth. It goes and gets the cd artwork and info from the cd; it's great for this.
BUT the biggest part of my musical addiction is classical. I have a 40gb IRiver H340 that the battery is going on and is no longer working correctly. All the files are WMA not MP3, so they either have to be converted to work in the ipod or reinstalled. I have about 500 cd's of classical music from A-Zelenka, and the thought of having to reinstall all the information in the correct order has me about to pull my hair out. FYI It doesn't convert a file it converts one piece of music at a time. This means you have to manually click on each piece to convert. And it displays them in itunes in what I would call a "random order". I'm not a classical snob but I want the information displayed on the screen of the ipod to at least be correct. It either picks the wrong information for the cd, or it doesn't group the whole cd as one cd. And I don't want to see U2 or Enya listed as a composer. I like U2 but Musica Antiqua Cologne under Reinhard Goebel is a little different then U2. Yea yea I know its differentiated by genres, WRONG. J.P. Rameau's Les Fetes d'Hebe was listed as alternative & punk not classical. Just another thing I'll have to fix. Apple won the MP3 war, but my war with my ipod is just starting.
Customer Review: Amazon is not shipping this item at the old pricing
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this at the old pricing ($349.99) on 10/18. "Delivery estimate: October 31, 2007 - November 6, 2007.
Then I just got an email stating that "Estimated arrival date: 01/04/2008 - 01/07/2008"
I am surprised. It does not seem right. Especially with their new pricing and that they currently state that there are 2 in stock.
Customer Review: excellent!

My husband loves it. He has a amazing collection of cd and he has put most of his cd on the ipod and he still has space.Customer Review: Apple iPod 80GB 5.5 Generation
Summary: 5 Stars
Great item. I don't think I'll ever fill it up and use all the disc space, but I can sure enjoy myself trying!
I like to sporty black design and I find the DLO makes a *GREAT* armband and hip case for this product!
Customer Review: do not buy. I want my money back
Summary: 1 Stars
Instead of paying my car bill, I chose to buy the ipod 5th gen 80gb. that was not the right thing to do. purchase it from wal-mart, drove to my house and could not wait to start. problems problems problems.
1. plug it to my computer, the light came on once and never to be seen again. rush to walt-mart, they gave me another one.
2. Plug it in to my brandnew macbook. the light came on "yippie" this time itune wont read, have to download itune. no problem. do not disconnect sign never came off. at this point i'm just sad. called Apple, support staff are CLUELESS. took it back to wal-mart, manager at wal-mart looks at me funny. they gave me another one.
3. working. YES. download a stack of song, am very happy. two days later. lights will not come on. lost my receipt. wal-mart manager will not exchange, called apple, i was sent to apple store 1hr away from my house. staff ignored me. finally they zap it with something and it work while i was in the car.
4. at home will not work. called apple, after reset and reboot. NOTHING. finally apple agree for me to send it to them for another one. at this point i'm thinking the gods are laughing at me for spending so much money on such stupid thing, hell i could've send it to a country that needed it for food or something.
5. true to their word, they sent me a box free shipping. two days later got my new apple. so far this is my 4th one and none are working. very quickly apple sent me my new ipod. it works until two days later I get a very low battery sign. let it sign for 10hrs, same thing. At this poing I want to cry. went on apple website, there are many people complaining about the same thing. WTF. no response from apple.
6. called apple, pleaded with them to give me at least 1/2 of my money back. i dont want this anymore. apple agreed to sent another free shipping box to get my apple fix. at this point i dont care.
The apple people must know they are feeding us items that are not fit to be sold because it was too easy for them to say that they will replace it for me. how many times can you replace one item. honestly one day another reliable company will come up with something better than apple that will wipe them out of the competition. i'm a hugh apple fan. now when i go to the computer store and see something by apple i move away from it. i keep begging for my money back but can get it back. if the next one they send me doesnt work i will go straight to the lake by house and throw it there.
will keep you posted if i still have the energy. by the way own three computer at home plus a mac book. my computers work fine.
