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.

Rating: - sleek design, huge capacity
Overall I am very happy with this ipod. It is my first mp3 player, so there is no basis for comparison. But I don't know what I would change. Sometimes the song changes but the display doesn't update to the new song. Hitting the forward button brings up the new song information. Otherwise it works great, and I don't imagine running out of space any time soon.
Rating: - Upping the portable media player game ever time
I bought this to replace my 30gb video. I have no regrets on my purchase. The brushed finish is much easier to keep up then the gloss finish of the previous ipod. The redefined interface is much needed and a great improvement. Great upgrade and first portable media player.
