Good value great capacity great battery life MP3 March 19, 2008

When my beloved Creative Zen Touch gave up the ghost this new ipod seemed to be the only promising alternative on the market at that time. Its smart, slim and light and fits easily in any pocket, including my shirt pocket. The screen is excellent with great colours, I was amazed at the video quality. The sound is sharp and clear, with more volume than i require. I also didnt require coverflow but I quite enjoy seeing the album covers pop up when choosing a song, but many songs do not have album covers and some are incorrectly assigned, which is annoying. I don't want to delete coverflow though, as it doesnt make my ipod slow and just enhances the product with an extra facility. I'm sure apple will manage to improve the software over time.
What really is weak on this product, compared to the Creative software, is itunes. Its ridiculous that you have to keep all the songs on your PC as well as on the ipod, and also that you can't use another PC for downloading songs to the ipod without deleting all the songs you already have on your ipod.
The 80GB capacity is fantastic. I have all my CD collection and even a few movies, and there's still 50GB left, incredible. The battery life is also excellent, it seems to last almost forever. I have the intempo mp3 speakers at home, and you just have to dock the ipod on this and it charges whilst it plays, so I hardly notice having to charge it.
Overall, the ipod classic silver has some great features, looks wonderful, isn't perfect but is arguably the best mp3 on the market just now.
 soooooo bad March 12, 2008

this is not worth the money paid for it. Apple overycharging for something that is not reliable at best. The only good thing so far I have discovered is the card game! I have had to reset the machine four times. Reset number 5 it froze completely and had to wait till the battery died before it would reset. I have had it TWO WEEKS, this is the kind of thing I expect after two YEARS not weeks
Don't buy this, it's rubbish and you would be better off going for a different brand

Wow, i love this ipod!! it replaced my old 3rd gen 20gb one which broke after being chucked on the floor... what an upgrade!! iam really impressed with all the layout features and all the colour of it makes it feel really special. The sound quality has improved aswell - if i am not mistaken, i adjusted the sound equalizer to "loudness" which means the headphones that come with it are not actually that bad!! They were actually a pleasant suprise with more base than the ones that came with my 20gb 3rd gen ipod (ok they're not great but they're fine for general listening). The response time when changing track is also faster than my old one. It also beats the value of any of it's other competitors.
Great Ipod poor Itunes January 25, 2008

Lovely gadget let down by Itunes.
Album art cannot be downloaded for many albums that windows media player can easily find. Also you have to give your credit card details for this terrible service. Then once you've found album art from elsewhere and sync with the ipod - no - not that simple - coverflow doesn't work and doesn't reflect the album art in Itunes. Another example of apple 'looks' but inferior functionality. Itunes simply doesn't work on the windows platform. This Ipod depends on Itunes. Don't buy if you have windows.
 Poor sound lets down otherwise neat item January 11, 2008

I bought one to partner the Itube amp. The biggest let down is sound quality. Its passable with headphones, but put into a decent hi fi and its totally disappointing. The vocals are suppressed and their is no musicality about the sound, the soundstage is poor and its a total disappointment each time I use it. I tried my old Ipod nano and it sounds better. Researching this on the web many people share my view and recommend getting a 5th gen ipod or a nano if decent sound is a requirement. I keep thinking of returning it to amazon, in some ways I cant be bothered with the hassle, but I probably should. My advice, ok for the train or non fussy teenagers, but not if you have a inkling of decent sound quality.
