Digital camera reviews of Apple iPod classic 80 GB Silver (6th Generation) OLD MODEL
Digital camera Review: I don't see what's wrong with this thing...
Summary: 4 Stars
I guess because it's my first and I have never had another one. I have had some of the problems other people have complained about (sluggish cover art browsing was one of them I believe, mainly if the ipod has been sitting for a while or playing music constantly for about an hour), but it holds a ton of videos and music (I have over a weeks worth of music and over 120 gigabytes of videos loaded on this thing and it's about full now) as well as photos from your hard drive. If this thing lasts for a while and doesn't crash or anything, I really see no point in buying a new one until Apple comes up with a revolutionary new ipod with wi-fi (instead of just the smaller Touch) and turn it into a great phone with a hi-def camera with the same size hard drive as this one (160 gb or larger). A radio would be cool too if they could add that, but as I said I am not buying one until they do that stuff. Too bad the ipod has been discontinued for an ipod with a smaller hard drive.Digital camera Review: Good as expectation
Summary: 5 Stars
The product was awesome. People are still a bit scared of refurb's but you do not need to be. 70% of my electronics are refurb's and everything works great. I do at least try to buy my refurb's from the original manufacturer but that doesn't always happen. This ipod was awesome though as any brand new one!!!!!Digital camera Review: DO NOT PAY $500 FOR THIS!!

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!Digital camera Review: Ipod

It's called a classic for a reason... it never goes wrong... i'm still in love with itDigital camera 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.
