In A Nutshell So far, so good. I've owned my I-pod 160GB for about a week, so it's still early days. My needs are simple. I want my whole music collection (which is some 20,000 songs I guess)on one portable device. So far, I've crammed about 2,000 tunes on to it and the capacity bar shows that there's still a long way to go before I fill the thing up. I'm immensely impressed with the amount of space that this i-pod has. A few points - the volume is more than adequate! It's far louder than my Nano. I agree that the... more info
I love it I already own an ipod nano for music. I wanted to purchase this to put movies on it so I don't have to take my massive DVD collection with me when I go travelling.

The iPod Classic is bigger, but not necessarily better I bought an iPod Classic 160GB model simply because I had filled my 5th generation 80GB model. Having used the latter happily for a couple of years, Apple's latest offering has proved to be a less than satisfactory experience. Given Apple's desire to market not only the hardware but also its iTunes software as part of the iPod "package" it's appropriate to look at that package in this review. First, the hardware; the interface has been changed cosmetically but isn't any better than that of the 5th... more info
