With 160GB of storage, iPod classic can hold up to 40,000 songs, 200 hours of video, or 25,000 photos. That's more than enough room for a day's — or a lifetime's — worth of entertainment.

What's great about it: You will NEVER use all this storage
What's not so great: Unless you are a complete techno geek, or already a heavy Apple enthusiast, getting started might be a challenge
This is my first Apple product and I had difficulty with the lack of directions. It's supposed to be so simple that a child can use it, so maybe I should have gotten my kids to set it up. I still can't adjust the volume and will end up going to the Apple store, which is over 45 minutes from my house.

What's not so great: not durable at all
I absolutely love my IPOD Classic. However, in the past 2 years I have gone through 3 of them. Not due to careless action on my part but because they defect so often that it seems only a matter of time before I can longer get them to sync up to the ITunes store. Now it's telling me songs that I have purchased from ITunes are not compatible with my IPod. How in the world does that happen?
If you can actually keep the product working then it's good because I do enjoy how it is set up but since I constantly have to fight with it whenever I plug it up to add new music from my computer it is useless to me.

What's great about it: Great resolution of the screen, a great quality sound and a huge memory storage.
What's not so great: Nothing so far.
I received this iPod as a birthday present from my cousin in United States. I was so excited when it came to my hands a week ago... AND I'M STILL EXCITED!!! Cause it's a really good device. This thing have a great interface, a really cool resolution, great sound, a great performance and a memory storage that will keep the songs, videos and movies of a lifetime.. What about the battery? DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!! It will just last a very long time. It's not too easy for dummies to set up with iTunes, but the Apple webpage will give you a very useful service in the section of help. I'm very happy with my new iPod. You should buy one too. ;)

What's great about it: Large storage, great sound, small size.
What's not so great: For our needs, can't think of a thing.
We have 2 iPod Classics and use them to hold our entire music collection, (purchased files, CDs, converted tapes & LPs) in Apple Lossless. Sounds great on the home system and when traveling we don't have to decide what music to take along in a bulky carrier. Our whole library goes with us in that little package. This will always be the best iPod ever for our needs.

What's great about it: everything! its awesome!!
What's not so great: whats not so great? Are you serious!? why is there even a box for that??
I have owned many different types of mp3 players, my most recent was a 16gb Sony Walkman mp3. It was OK except for the fact that it was only 16gb. Dont get me wrong it was great when I first got it, but I quickly filled it up and found myself picking and choosing what songs I wanted on it.
Well no more! I just got my Ipod Classic 3/17/12 and I am already in love! this Ipod kicks @$$! Ive never owned an ipod or any apple product for that matter so I have to admit I was a little intimidated by it. But I quickly found that its super user friendly. I just have to get used to using the click wheel ha. but any who I actually wanted to get the ipod touch 64gb but I didnt have enough money for it plus its only 64gb I mean that doesnt even compare to the 160gb of the ipod classic. Now I can take all my music with me where ever I go.
Im extremely satisfied with it...good work Apple dont ever loose the classic.

What's great about it: Mega storage capacity
What's not so great: I think it's perfect
This little thing will hold more music than I will ever own! It's a bit heavier and larger than the typical ipods, so it's not the best choice to wear while jogging, etc. But if you are looking to digitize your music and get rid of all those CDs lying around, this is the bomb. Plus I can throw it in the car when I am road tripping across the country and have all my music with me, easily take it into the hotel at night, and not carry along all those blasted CDs and worry about someone breaking into the car overnight in the parking lot to get them. Very easy to use, sounds great, syncs with my Mac like a charm. What's not to like?

I own the touch and two classics. I had to purchase the 160GB classic because I have tons of music that would not fit on my other two ipods and I am constantly adding more music. I love this product as well as the others. This is the only device that I use to listen to my music. Would not buy any other brand. Outstanding.

Ran out of space on my old iPod 30GB.
Time to upgrade! I honestly like the menus better on my old one.
I do not like the half and half screen. It's annoying.
Besides that minor complaint, it's just what I needed.

I bought this for my boyfriend who was rocking a 4gb nano. He needed an upgrade. I have the Classic 30 gb.
The look is great, and the updated software is nice.... I have envy of it.
All in all, another good iPod from Apple.

What's great about it: storage, easy to use
What's not so great: It's a bit pricey but worth every penny.
If you have a nano, this would be it's big brother. The ease of use and features are identical to the nano, except you get a lot more storage space which means you no longer have to pick and choose which songs makes the list. Great for teens and young adults who wants the ease of music at their finger tips. The only con, you can't download Pandora since it's not a touch screen. So if you want apps stick to the Ipod Touch but if you want storage, the Classic is for you.

My mom always has too many CD's in her car and at home. Thought it would be great to just have her music organized and with the 160gb ipod classic, she has no limitations. She loved it.

What's great about it: Holds tons of songs.
What's not so great: Size not good for workouts at the gym, but I use a smaller MP3 for that.
Use it to store all of my playlists. Holds tons of songs. Use my nano for workouts at the gym, but always take my Classic for road trips. Definitely would recommend this product.

What's great about it: Easy to use.
We have one at my wife's business. She is a gymnastics coach and uses it to set up playlists for each of her classes.
We also have one in each of our cars, and have never had a problem with any of them.

I do wish I could inverse the display (make the background black and the text in white so its not so bright while driving at night.) I have the brightness turned all the way down, and turns off after 10 seconds but still a little distracting while driving.

What's great about it: Holds my entire music library with room to expand!
What's not so great: N/A
If you're looking for an mp3 player that will hold your large music library at a decent price, this is it! When I felt it was time to upgrade from the Zune I'd had since 2007, I decided to go with the iPod. I chose the iPod Touch 8gb based on the price and features. When I found that my music library exceeded 20gb, I realized the 8gb iPod was much too small. I returned the 8gb Touch and purchased the 160gb iPod Classic, which meets my needs since I don't plan on watching movies or videos anyway. I could not justify the price difference for the 64gb iPod Touch.

What's great about it: Lots of memory and a long battery life
What's not so great: Very bulky
This iPod is for someone with a lot of music and a lot of video. For some, it's just right, but for others, the staggering 160- gigabyte capacity may be too much. If you have a lot of music and video, this is for you. The battery life is excellent. It's extremely bulky, though, but the durability is amazing.
