What's great about it: Lots of space, ... standard doc connection.
What's not so great: HARD DRIVE based MP3 not good for use in cars or activities (running, etc..)
Three hard drive based IPod's later, ... and I gave up. In fact, ... on Apple IPod's all together...
The problem is, the hard drives don't handle being jolted. (If you jog with your MP3 player, or use in your car where it might get rattled, don't expect it to last long..)
I've made the switch to the Samsung Sansa View 32GB (Flash based) and have been using it for 4-5 months. (Longer than any one of the IPod's lasted me..) Obviously, it doesn't have NEARLY the space of the 120GB IPod, but if the IPod stops working, ... it's useless anywhay...
BTW - IPod warranty isn't bad at all, but when it runs out and the unit dies (yet again,) you won't feel like repairing it. (AGAIN..............)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: multiple managing options-----better price than 8g touch---sound quality
What's not so great: can't think of anything.
This is so worth the investment. The initial ipod I bought had problems: battery life less than 5 hrs, unable to get to some of the features, etc. I called Apple several times and tried lots of things but finally returned it and got a new one. It was within the 30 day window so had no problem with this. OH MAN---this new one is awesome!!!!!! The battery life goes on and on. There are so many features that I wasn't even aware of. It's organized and so easy to manage. LOVEIT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. Also, if you shop around you can find some really inexpensive accessaries at bargain prices. Take the time---it's really worth it.

What's great about it: It holds EVERYTHING, High Definition Screen, size
What's not so great: they're not the most reliable
I've had many iPods. I've had 4 30GB iPod Videos, two iPod shuffles, and am on my second 120GB iPod Classic. iPod Classics are great because of their capacity, high definition screen, click wheel, and almost everything else. Their downfall is how they slow down with the more things that you put on them, and how they seem to have random issues that nobody can figure out. The issues don't happen that often, but I would still recommend that you purchase the extended warranty from Best Buy. So far, this is my favorite iPod, and I have had it since December.

What's great about it: 120gb, a lot of space
What's not so great: battery, freeze 3x for 12hrs
I like ipod, i have an ipod nano before and i upgrade it to classic because of the space 120gb, a lot of storage base on the specs and features. I bought the classic just yesterday and i return it this afternoon because when i charged it like 4 hrs as what it says on the manual to charge fully, then it shows as fully charged, while charging it i download all my favorite music, then for more that 2000+ songs it download only 76 then it freeze. i waited for the ipod to reset itself. In the morning when i woke up i look at it because i'm excited, the battery is dead so i recharge it again then when it is fully charge, i listen to it then again it freeze and the whole day i'm not able use it, so i return it, still freeze. So i'm diappointed very much for my purchase. But in fairness i still like ipod.

What's great about it: Easy to use, durable, dependable, lots of accessories available
What's not so great: Not as many features as other MP3 players
The Ipod Classic is a very good and I would recommend it, however I wish Apple would add more compatibility with windows formats and other types and wish they would also add an FM Tuner to like many of the competitors have.
I also have had some issues with using Genius on the Ipod, it is a great feature that I can use on my computer and create playlists for my ipod, but have been unable to use it directly on my Ipod.
All in all I would recommend this product to anyone that has a large music library like myself.

What's great about it: easy to use, set up, great picture
What's not so great: crashes
I've had two. The first was replace at 5 months because it crashed during a run and refused to turn back on. After arguements about warranty (my serial number did not match the number that My ipod registered when I set it up on my computer - it took about 4 weeks to exchange "proof of purchase"). A replacement item promptly arrived, but it lasted only 7 months before it crashed and now is no longer under warrenty. Remeniscent of my old iMac. I no longer trust Apple products.

I think this iPod is the greatest one you could buy. It may look like a lot of money, but you can trust that you are getting your money's worth. You can get hours and hours of music, movies, and games, etc. I can relax for hours on the beach and not have to repeat a song. Trust me, you'll love this iPod!

What's great about it: Great new features, tons of storage, and more durable frame then old iPod Video
What's not so great: New Apple chip makes all cords and DLO docks useless. You'll need to buy all new cables to watch video.
I love the new classic. It replaced my iPod Video 80Gb. The new software is a great improvement. The only negative is that they went to a dock connector that requires authentication chips...making my Monster cable in the car, and my DLO Homedock Deluxe worthless. I spent more on new cables and docks from Best Buy then I spent on the iPod itself.

it's an ipod that you want to recommend to give to a friend or relative. If you really listen music such as different genre and artists this can be your gift.

What's great about it: godly amounts of memory, high quality audio/videos
What's not so great: a little lag, lacks some of the new features in other ipods
The primary 2008 ipod model, the 120gb ipod clasic, is a solid device which provides all of the same great functions of ipods past and not much more. I can't that's all a bad thing, though. The ipod feels great in hands and provides execptional battery life. The audio and video performances are generally excellent. However, my device does occasionally lag and cut out in the middle of a playback. The 120gigabytes means you won't be running out of memory any time soon. I have 400 songs and 3 movies and I'm barely going over 10gbs. The only dissapointment is that it's missing new features provided on other new ipods models, such as the touch and the nano. The classic does not support wi-fi of any kind, it lacks any sort of built in speakers, and doesn't have an accelometer for some music waggle (however pointless that feature may be). The 2008 ipod classic doesn't do anything new, but the 120gb and sheer quality of the build represent the best of the previous ipods.

What's great about it: 120GB
What's not so great: The jack.
As a symbol of all things trendy, Apple's classic 120 GB iPod carries the torch with minimal flaws. The obvious appeal of this gadget is the vast amount of space to fill up with music and entertainment. I collect music like some collect stamps, and I can comfortably continue to purchase itunes cards knowing that there will be enough room on my iPod for quite a while. Even if your music library is limited, this iPod is a great compromise for storing tv shows or movies as well! I have had my iPod classic for nearly two years, and the only downside is the jack. It has seen better days and causes disturbances with my headphones on occasion. However I've found that the secret to preventing jack damage is to keep putting the Ipod in your jean pockets to a minimum. The movement while walking and listening to music probably causes wear and tear.
As far as purchasing my iPod, BestBuy was the place to go. The staff was helpful and informative, and the price was as reasonable as it will be for an Apple product. If you're looking to expand your music collection or want plenty of room to store movies and games, I highly suggest the Ipod 120GB.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: EVERYTHING!
What's not so great: scratches easily, so get a case!!!
Although i havent gotten it yet, a few of my friends own one and have told me the wonders of it, not to mention ive operated it myself and i have to say i love the amount of capcity this baby can hold, its such a nice shade of black , im surprised at its price actually, why pay $400 for a ipod touch 32gb when a 120gb for $224 is even better, touch screen isnt all that you know. anyways, my friends told me its the perfect ipod for a teenager to have seeing as music as at the top of the list for most teens, im hoping i can get mine soon, im anxious for it, its gonna be a real keeper. anyone who wants alot of capicty for a little amount of cash, go for the ipod classic.

What's great about it: Durability, music capacity
What's not so great: cost, weight and scratches easily
If you're a music lover like me, you can't go a day with out your IPOD. This IPOD stores more music than any other product of it's size. It's great to have, and I wouldn't trade it in unless there was a lighter version of this in the future. I love that I get to take with me while traveling and can dock it to my surround home system. Once you own one, you'll wonder how you managed with out it all those years.

The ipod classic has made a great impression on me. I use it everywhere i go. Its easy to transport and easy to handle. The huge memory space can help you store thousands of your favorite songs. Its sophisticated look and sleek body defines a whole meaning to music player. The first of its kind and almost better than any new generation.

What's great about it: It is easy to use and easy to accustom to. Good price because of the quality and worth the money.
What's not so great: Scratches easily if dropped.
The Ipod Classic is worth the money that you pay because it is easy to use and it has good quality. It holds a lot of memory sometimes more than a laptop would and you can easily slide it in your back pocket. Of course everything has a bad side and the only thing that is bad about the Ipod is that when you drop it and it doesn't have a case on it, it will get scratched or even dented depending on how bad the damage was. Overall this product has made a significant change in my day-to-day life.
