 The Apple Ipod Classic is pretty darned good ... July 2, 2008
Stargazer (St.Kilda, Victoria Australia)
The first thing I did after I finally got a home computer two years ago, was to read up on all the ipods available. It didn't take me long to decide on the iPod Classic from Apple and then the wait began for it's release in Australia.
Unlike others on here, I can't compare the Classic 80gb with any other ipod as this is my first, but I can say that three and a half thousand songs later (and still climbing) I can thoroughly recommend it anyone.
Many albums from my own collection have been included, plus many purchased direct from iTunes, as their sound is better than the older CD'sand you get an album cover displayed on the ipod screen.
You can of course buy songs individually if you have a mind to, although I am an album kinda girl,myself.
Scrolling through albums is a pain, as it can take quite a while if you have numbers in the thousands to get through. And the whinge is the Compilations section of the ipod is annoying in the extremus, because an album you record and send to your iPod disappears, it's not with that artists other albums. Where is it ? It's listed separately in the Compilations section because said artist has recorded songs with other named artists and it gets listed away from that artists albums.
Once you realise what is happening, it's easy to delate all other names from the album BEFORE including it to your ipod library where it will now take its place where you thought it would naturally go !
The other purchases made since my ipod have been a Belkin leather cover to stop the surface from scratching ($AUD35.00) and a box of earplugs from Apple ($AUD50.00) because I prefer the inner ear plugs to ones provided.
Then I bought a separate dock a Klipsch iGroove for just over AUD$240.00 and all is right with the world and me. Thoroughly Recommend.
 Important info for 1st time buyers of ipods June 22, 2008

If you have never owned an ipod and are thinking of buying one for the first time then you should take the following in to consideration. If its just mass storage for your music you are after then then you will be making the right choice to buy this model as its capacity is second only to the 160gb version. Its easy to use and the cover flow and video capabilities make it a very useful and fun player to have. i currently have 6070 songs on it and around 10 music videos and have added three games and its not even half full yet. Now for the important stuff - If its good sound quality your after then you will be very let down by this. The EQ settings are not suitable for all songs and will find that a lot of the songs you put on it will sound too tinny or too distorted but sound very empty. Max volume is poor and around 75% of my songs sound too quiet to enjoy, even at max volume. Apple have made big improvements regarding storage and relyability, for example, earlier models will easily crash and skip songs, but this one hasnt given me any problems in the 6 months i have had it, the only problem is the sound. Ipods are getting better with each generation, and this player is near perfection, except the most important thing - the sound! Apparently Apple are taking this matter seriously after many complaints about the sound. So if you are a first time buyer, then i would wait and see what the next generation of the classic brings us, this one has been out for nearly a year now so a new version should be on the cards very shortly. Just one or two changes and ipods will be worth every penny. But you can find much better sounding mp3 players on the market for much cheaper. Whatever your choice, enjoy!

Bought this to replace a stolen 30G. Was a little worried about it syncing with my PC but guess what... it's better than the old one!Quicker and slicker. No annoying "cant disconect" messages.The ipod itself is as compact as the 30G but looks refined and has a nice feel.Video playback seems to be improved and the new coverflow addition is a welcome feature. It does slow the process down a little but i dont really care, the improved quality and looks more than make up for that.As has been said, the volume has been restricted but a decent pair of in ear headphones will make up for that.If you dont like in ears i suggest that you try before you buy as there is a noticable difference.

Now don't get me wrong from the title, I'm not one for having the latest of anything, I think my stereo is older than Hannah Montana. I had an MP3 player (no where near the quality etc of any iPod) and only really used it to block out the background noise and radio at work. I also rarely changed the music on it as it was so difficult to use. I'm a fan of CD's for in my car but obviously there's only so many of those you want to carry around with you. When my boyfriend asked me what I wanted for my birthday I was a bit stuck until I heard that I could get a little device to use an iPod in the car, through the stereo and thought I may as well take the plunge.
It surprised me on many levels; It's sooo easy to use, excellent sound quality from the provided ear phones, my boyfriend has the older classic and compared to this it's slimmer. I don't really get along with technology so was really pleased with myself when I was able to sync all my songs without any help! The silver finish is just so sleek and looks great with the chrome back.
If you are looking to switch to/upgrade your iPod - look no further. This little number looks the part and a five year old wouldn't have any difficulty using it!

I have wanted an ipod for some time and did alot of research on the internet in order to find the perfect model.
I read many reviews and I eventually choose the ipod classic 80gb due to the memory space available. I have owned my ipod classic for two weeks now and let me tell you...........this is a well made item which is so simple to use.
the sound quallity is fantastic and the screen is large enough and clear.
Get one.........its fantastic!!
