Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod classic 80 GB Silver (6th Generation) OLD MODEL
Customer Review: Very Cool
Summary: 5 Stars
I upgraded from a the 5th generation 8gb nano to the iPod Classic 80gb this week, and though I have only used this iPod several times, I have to say that it is the coolest.
I was anti iPod for a very a long time. They didn't make sense to me; plus I loved going to music stores, combing through the stacks to find something new to take home and listen to. Well, these days it is more difficult to get to the music store, and the RADIO stinks. I went through a few years of really not caring about music. Then I discovered iTunes which is one of the best inventions ever in my opinion. I have discovered so many great musicians and albums through iTunes and have built a fairly large library of music over the past year.
My nano still works great and I will continue to use that in the gym, but my Classic holds all my songs; it sounds better than my nano; it responds better than my nano. Plus, I don't know if this is also a feature of the 5g iPod Video, but I like knowing how many songs are in each of my playlists; I like scrowling the coverflow, stopping on a paticular album, knowing what songs I have from that album.
The Classic really is very cool to play, and it is attractive. I think it is a must have for any music lover out there.
Customer Review: Lovin' it

I've only previously owned a 4th gen 40GB iPod, so I can't comment on the 'downgrade' issues from the last generation iPods, but so far I am very, very happy with my new 80GB classic. Installation was a breeze. I already had iTunes set up with all my music, so all I had to do was load up iTunes and plug in the iPod, and automation took care of the rest. The iPod charged up in a few hours. That simple!
The 80GB classic is perfect for what I use it for: listening to my entire music collection from one convienent place. I've been listening to it for many many hours straight, and it's barely even touched the battery. The screen is nice and vibrant for looking at all the cover art, and the backlight auto shuts off to save on batteries when you aren't using it, especially useful when it's just sitting in your pocket or glovebox. The brushed aluminum looks very stylish and gives it a more solid feel. The clickwheel can be a little sluggish at times, but I've never found myself irritated by it.
All in all an excellent purchase. Extremely impressed by the battery life. I'm glad I waited a little longer to buy an iPod, as we now get 80GB of storage instead of 30GB for the same price.
Customer Review: Great picture and sound, so easy to use

I've actually had my iPod (my first) for a year now and it still works as well today as it did when I got it. One of my favorite features is the video. I love adding movies, TV shows, even youtube videos, to my iTunes and uploading them onto my iPod. The picture quality is fantastic and it's so cool to be able to watch stuff on the run or on a trip. No portable DVD player required.
The overall quality of the iPod seems to be great. It's a heavy little thing, but sturdy. It was dropped from a height of about 4 feet about 20 minutes out of the box, hit the floor hard, and has not yet malfunctioned.
One thing that tripped me up at the very beginning was the use of the click wheel, though it's not nearly as bad as I've read in other reviews. I like how it works and I don't really mind the slight bit of insensitivity. (Dry hands = not good) But it wasn't quite as intuitive to use as I thought it would be. Or maybe it's just me. I was an iPod virgin, after all. ;)
Even after a year, I still have TONS and tons of available space left on it for more music, pictures, videos, etc. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone.

Lets face it - the iPod is the most accessorized product on the market. With gadgets galore - that is half the fun of having one - more so then the Creative Zen Vision I had. It has a great sound and is easy to carry around on the go. I don't personally like having to eject it through iTunes to remove it - but it really isn't a terribly long process. iTunes is great for purchasing music - the Genius sidebar that actually makes mixes for you based on what music you have is also great. In some cases, it isn't quite work like my brain is wired to expect it to (and I dare not call it "worse" or "better" then Windows Media player - I am just very familiar and like many things about it better). I also don't like how difficult it seems to move your music around from computer to computer (My Creative product, I could pull music off and on easily no matter if I was at my home or work computer) - iTunes seemily makes this difficult (though I understand the necessity of that for my purchased items). I still love the product and will likely stick with iPods for the rest of my purchasing life.Customer Review: great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a 5th generation ipod that stopped working because of water exposure (which is totally acceptable), and i found myself in the need of getting a new player.
I was really happy about the other ipod and i also have a lot of accessories (bose sounddock, itrip)...so i was kinda stuck to the apple products.
Anyway, the point is that i had to get myself a new one. I started reading some reviews and i ended up getting this 80 GB ipod. So far, it has worked ot great for me. Battery lasts long, great display, large capacity and all that.
But there is one thing that should be said: i could have gotten the newer ipod (the 120 GB)for the same price, but i found out that THE BOSE SOUNDDOCK, AS WELL AS OTHER ACCESSORIES DON'T CHARGE THE IPOD because of some firewire change.
THE 80GB DOES...so i was very happy to know that all my research paid off and i now can take advantage of all the functions of my ipod.
The point is, make sure you really dig into all the information you can get to make sure you're getting the right item for you.
