Customer Review: DO NOT PAY $500 FOR THIS!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok so I will start by saying this is a wonderful item. I have had my 160gb Ipod for about a year now and couldn't be happier. However, I only paid $350 for mine BRAND NEW at BestBuy....this OUTRAGEOUS price on Amazon is a joke to think anyone would even consider paying $500. I highly recommend this product but, for the love of god, go shop around elsewhere. I saw some 160gb Ipods on other sites a few months ago for a FRACTION of this price.....KEEP LOOKING!Customer Review: Ipod

It's called a classic for a reason... it never goes wrong... i'm still in love with itCustomer Review: Flash memory works better than the Classic's hard drive
Summary: 1 Stars
I got my 80GB iPod Classic a little less than a year ago. Around early April, my computer became unable to recognize the iPod (my computer is an Apple). I took it to the Apple store and they ran it through several tests before finally determining that it had a failed hard drive. They gave me a replacement.
A little over week ago (late June), I plugged the replacement iPod into my computer (it had worked fine since I got it except for having to reformat it once when it went haywire because I interrupted its syncing process). The iPod's hard drive started making clicking noises and iTunes claimed that the iPod was corrupted and must be restored to factory settings. I followed its instructions. After I got all my media put back on, I unplugged my iPod. It got stuck on the 'OK to disconnect' screen, so I rebooted it and got it stuck on the apple screen, making clicking noises, until the battery ran out.
Keep in mind that I was never hard on either iPod. I never dropped them and rarely bumped them. Mainly I listen to music while I do homework or read.
At this point I was totally fed up. An iPod is expensive. It should be able to last several years, not just a few months. So I took it back to the Apple store, hoping I could trade it in for at least an iPod Nano (actually, I had my sights set on an iTouch, which now cost less than what I paid for this one). However, I was given two options: another Classic or a 10% off coupon for another iPod. Either way my [...] have been wasted. So now I am stuck with another of these things, which will probably malfunction again in a few months. Now I must save up my pennies for another, more reliable, MP3 player.
I guess what I am really trying to say is this: until Apple comes out with an iPod with a more reliable hard drive, stick to the ones with flash memory. My 1st generation iPod Nano has served me well for four and a half years and has never had a single problem, although it only holds about a sixth of my music. Until I have enough extra money for another MP3 player, I will be using my Nano and letting my replacement Classic sit in its box until I feel calm enough to do something with it.
I need an iPod I can rely on, and such a flawed design certainly isn't going to cut it.

This thing is the best! It seriously holds soooo much. Only problem I have had so far is that I bought a referbished one and the click wheel does not sit quite right. I'm literally at the Apple store trying to get it fixed right now. But really other than I bought a referb item it's amazing. I would recommend this iPod to anyone who has a need for carrying around their entire music collection and a huge ammount of video.
