Which iPod is your ultimate favorite? How are the classics?

The classic 160GB. Huge capacity, great screen, easy to use. Wish is was available in other colors, but that's my only complaint. It's also quite a bit cheaper than the largest touch model, which can't touch it for capacity.

Thanks for the input folks. I finally gave up and bought an Ipod nano. It does great and makes my husband a very happy listener.

yes you will. ipod has a wacky sound quality, perhaps the mac is better. The iBasso is great and it is a DAC meaning it can convert digital waves to analog waves. The sound is more realistic. I'm really satisfied with it.

I have Ipod Classic. It works great. Good volume and clear sound for my aerobic class. Love it. I hope someone with Ipod touch will give you a 'Yes" as well.

It is great. It has more of a box shape do to the iPods shape witch make it feel sronger. It is way much better than its predecessors. Get it. U will not be sorry

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

Depends on what you really want, yes if this is your first ipod I'd go for it, but since it is Hard drive based it will have skipping issues if your jogging or walking sometimes, otherwise if you sit at your desk and listen to it, it will be fine. Then again if you want something that will go anywhere and handle anything, go for the ipod nano, it does everything the classic does, but it's just smaller in size and storage, if you want a bigger screen that will handle anything also go for the ipod touch. When I say handle anything, I mean jogging running, being dropped, because they are flash based and wont skip.

I'm waiting for a 128gb flash player that SOUNDS good, and can be loaded with a standard usb cable, and not requiring some proprietary software (read itunes). I test drove a 64gb ipod touch when it first came out, because my 16gb cowon iaudio7 is too small, but it sounded terrible, admittedly it was a stock set of tunes ripped at a low bit rate, but when I wanted to load up my own max bit rate tunes to it, the geniuses at the apple store couldn't fathom why someone would want to listen to tunes they'd ripped themselves, or how to make it happen. Hopefully someone raises the bar on storage space and sound quality, neither of which should be hard at this point. I wish someone would swing for the fences and do a flash 256gb player. I have to admit, I'm anachronistic, in that I don't want internet access, apps, videos, etc. just a gigantic music player that's not disk based (use it on a motorcycle, drop it constantly on the commute), that sounds fantastic and has great battery life. The more things a device does, the performance of each of those things suffers.

I just bought the Nano and it's way smaller than the Shuffle is. I used my nephew's IPOD and that's what made me want one, but i LOVE the Nano because of the size. Some of it wasn't intuitive for me, but my husband picked it up and had no problems with it. Once I saw how to do a couple basic things on it, I was set to go and didn't need any help at all. He thought that it would be good to have the screen and at first I didn't care, but now that I've used it, I can see why you want it. After using both, I'd have to go Creative Labs all the way.

i have a large Classic that lives out of site in the car.I also have an iPhone and touch that I use for calls/games and development (respectively)iTunes 8.x makes managing multiple iPods much easier than the old versions.

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

I would get an iPod classic, put all of your music on it and then get an iPod dock by Klipsch or Bose

I had both the ipod touch 4 and then bought the 5 and I truly loved it. The screen is slightly larger and the graphics very very sharp. I loved it. I was very careful about doing any ios updates, though, as those tend to destroy battery life. I did NOT do the updates on mine and the battery charge lasts a long time. Many hours of reading but remember, uses more if games are played. They will love the ipod touch 5.

All iPods should work if you have it plugged into the USB port in the front. But do you mean the 5th generation touch, nano or the old classic?

My request is similar. Not a lot of videos, mostly music composes my collection. Does a classic have good sound quality?

The last 7Gb on your Classic! I think you are already effectively maxed out, as our iPods need a bit of breathing room and the 7gb would be that room.
