Customer Review: Best MP3 player available
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried all the competitors first, I've had a Sansa Connect, Sansa E260, Microsoft Zune, Sirius Stiletto. While all are pretty good at some things, the ipod is just the best all around mp3 player available. Easy to use and navigate and has all the essential features, EQ, sleep timer, cover art, pictures, videos, games, easy podcast management. Plus the iTunes Store has pretty much everything imaginable, although some of the stuff you can get a little bit cheaper on Amazon's MP3 store.
If you're looking for an MP3 player, you can't go wrong with the ipod. Easy to use for everyone, not just technophiles. I even got one for my 60 year old dad as he travels a lot, and he loves it.
Also, the ipod has the largest support from 3rd party accessory makes for things like cases and even in-car listening options and integrated head units.
Customer Review: My Toy
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always liked electronic products and I've always been up-to-date with this type of products. I had the first iPod in my hands in 2003, I was living in Spain and a Friend came visit us from Venezuela, he had something similar to the one I have, and he had a cordless transmiter to use it with empty radio broadcasts in order to listen to it on the car, it was almost 5 years ago and since that day I wanted to purchase it, but theres was always something first. I know now that there are so many newer versions but I just want to listen to all my discography, with a good sound and in on small peace, I'm sure it will be MY Toy for a very long time until I get my iPhone. I've complemented it with a Bose stereo system for iPod, it is perfect, I also purchase the transmiter to listen to it in my car, it hasn't arrived jet. I'll let you know.

Customer Review: highly dissatisfied
Summary: 2 Stars
I need a refund asap please. This is the first time that I have been completely dissatisfied with a purchase from Amazon. The 80 gb ipod came in today. I attempted to download my music library of about 6,000 songs but it wouldn't down load all of the music except for 90 of them. I went back online to see about this items reviews and a comment was made that nothing was wrong with the ipod and that it was the customers computer that was acting up. Well in this case I know its not my laptop. The ipod is clearly dysfunctional, so you should really take it off the market. Stating that it is in good working condition is false. The ipod also makes funny noises, so I returned it in less then two hours. I sent it priority so you should have it back in your hands by Saturday. As for me, I want my back. If you need further information, you can contact me.Customer Review: Awesome Ipod. Glad I picked this over ITouch
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had several Ipods and was debating whether to upgrade to an ITouch or just get a Classic. I am glad I picked Classic. This is definitely a big improvement from the 5th generation. Love it, love it, love it. Love the space and transfer is lightning fast. Much much better. If ITouch comes in 80GB, I would probably get it. But its new technologies do not make it as good a PDA as a Palm TX, unfortunately (I'm talking about professional software, not pretty but empty applications). My old cable doesn't work with this new Classic. But no biggie, it comes with its own cable anyway. Too bad it doesn't come with earbud covers and a soft cover. Still, everything else has improved.. contacts, alarm, calendar, etc... things that I don't care about. But nice to have them improved. I might actually get to use them. Five+ stars!Customer Review: good, but not a great MP3 player
Summary: 3 Stars
PROS:
- metal casing
- thinner than my iPod Mini
- 80GB is more than enough for my MP3 library
- vivid display
- great battery life with mp3 playback
CONS:
- iTunes software sucks, is slow, is a memory hog, renames my MP3 files, and not DRM free!!!
- this is a BIG one... SLOW, SLOW, SLOW interface. I assume this is because it is not using solid state memory. This iPod is very slow to respond when you want to navigate through the menus. I find myself pausing music accidentally due to the significant delay period after I press play, causing me to think I didn't depress the play button completely on initial attempt. Moving "up" menus also has frequent lags. For this reason alone I'd consider not purchasing the iPod and getting maybe even a Zune 80GB
