If you're planning on running, get the Nano. Hard drives don't take kindly to shock and the drive in the Classic is no exception. It will fail much, much faster with the repeated shock of running while the flash-based nano will play merrily along to however many miles you want to jar it over.

Did you ever find an answer to your running and podast proble,? I also have the same problem. Can't find anything small enough to run with but can still carry my podcasts.

The only iPod that has a hard drive any more is the Classic. All others use flash memory. That's why they can make them so small.

The usb is extremely limited playing only what is in the root directory and giving no more information than track and time. I set up a play list on my computer of all the songs I want played, e.g. for Christmas, copy to the thumb drive, stick it into this player and go to usb. It is better to use the ipod port to get all the info, etc.

Yes ... but , if your car has a USB port then I would suggest getting a flash/thumb drive and using them in place of an iPod Classic. Much less money for a flash/thumb drive and it will withstand extreme temperatures that will affect the hard drive based iPod Classic. I have a few 64 GB flash drives used for my car that cost $40 each , one iPod Classic is now around $480 (if new) and $200 for a used one. This is what you get with a new iPod Classic http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable

Yes, you will be able to access all information stored on your iPod hard drive. I have purchased this item to use for accessing the hard drive after my iPod broke, installation was simple and it has been working fine since.

I keep all my music on an external drive.....and I have 2 different iPods (a classic for ALL my music and videos, and a nano for certain playlists for workouts and travel)......by setting the playlists to manually sync (as suggested above) for whatever iPod is designated, you can control what goes on what, and allow each one to have a different set of music/videos on them.

Anthony,I do not jog or log distance run but I walk long distance. I use jeans or loose bermudas. I put the top of the iPod into my pocket first so that the iPod is not pressing the transmitter down into the pocket. I have been using the i10 since September 2014 without a problem with the connector.

I don't know about an Ipod/Iphone as I have nether but I have a flash drive in both and I can switch between each and listen to their content.

Your could do if the Flash drive is big enough. Personally I use an external hard drive to back up data. and just use the flash drives for portable data. If you want to back up more than just data [software/ settings] then you would need disc replicating software.

Has anyone had any problems with skipping in the files when playing back? I have used 8 gig nano and 30 gig ipod with Mikey (Blue) microphone. I have had problems with gaps (or skips) in the recording files and don't understand what is happening. Any comments or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

My ipod works well. I use some longer work out apps and it works great. I have not noticed any slow speed issues yet.

Yes - but the case is JUST the case. It's the sensor that syncs w/ Nike+ iPod...Nike+ Running is the better app for runners though.

It does not require an iPod, you can use a USB flash drive with music on it and it will play just fine. or you can connect whatever device of your choosing to it via USB.

Biggest benefit to running off an MP3 player like an iPod is you can set up a playlist and have it randomized, whereas when you play off a USB stick it just plays them in file order. The downside, as stated by Anthony, is that you can't used the controls on the top to skip songs.

yes! that is the purpose. the i-flashdrive has connections for apple on one end and usb on the other with 16gb storage inbetween. really great device.

Menu functions don't work for me either. I get volume, start-stop, and track jump forward & back. I'm using an original Mini, with 32 GB Compact Flash drive, and an older 60 GB classic style, from before they called it the 'Classic'. Perhaps it works with the newer models.
