Rating: - Great But Needs To Be More User-Friendly
I'm still loading my CDs onto this wonderful gadget. It has tons of storage for not only music but videos, podcasts and pictures. It automatically sorts your "songs" (inc. parts of a classical work) via Genre, Artist, Composer... also you can design Playlists and assign files to them. and the album art feature adds to the beauty of the design. I approached the ear-bud headset with skepticism but music sounds great through them.
Needs to be more user friendly. I (dumbly) chose to load via my wife's Mac rather than my PC. I don't find the Apple operating system as accessible as many people do, but then, it's not one I use regularly. So getting to work this thing was (and still is) not as easy as I'd wish -- for example, I had to fool around more than I'd have liked to acquire album art. Additionally, the only hard-copy instructions you get are a little Quick Start Guide. The more detailed manuals are on-line so you have to search for the right one and then download and print it if you like to read the instructions off paper rather than the vid monitor. Considering the price, I'd have liked to get more paper instructions but I suppose the market for this product is mainly 16- 35 and not 58 year olds like me.
Nonetheless -- this product is the wave of the future.

I researched ipods extensively before buying the 80GB ipod Classic. I really enjoy it. My only issue is that it does not take the music I downloaded from BestBuy's music program. Other than that, I love it!
Rating: - Avoid the downgraded 6th Gen 'classic' - get the 5.5 Gen
The 6th Generation iPod "classic" is a disaster - what a flawed and serious downgrade. First, if you enjoy music quality then stay away from the classic. Apple replaced the high-end Wolfson DAC chip with a very low quality digital/analog chip. The result is a terrible degradation of sound quality - very noticeable and very disappointing. They also locked the video out capability so you can not play iPod videos through your TV without purchasing a proprietory (and costly) cable from Apple. It is NOT compatable with older 4th or 5th generation software, games and accessories - you will have to repurchase this. The click-wheel is very difficult to use and very unresponsive. Cover flow is useless and needs to be disabled if you are going to get any useability of your functions. You would be MUCH better off if you can find the 5.0 or 5.5 generation - by far a superior product compared to the dismal downgrade of this new 6th generation classic.
