 Playlists are VERY limited November 27, 2008
The capacity and the physical size are great. But... The wheel is far less responsive than the second gen I've been using for years. Maybe I'll get used to it. Sadly, in coverflow, the iPod can ONLY sort by artist. I have about 30GB of soundtracks and compilations. So each album appears several times in coverflow (once per artist). VERY annoying.
This is the real deal breaker for me: Unlike iTunes, when browsing a playlist on the iPod, you can ONLY view by songs (iTunes allows you to browse each playlist by album - grid or coverflow). This is HORRIBLE. I have 90GB of music. I have a few key playlists that contain the 200+ albums I listen to regularly. However, I am unable to view the albums on the iPod because you can only view by song in playlists. It doesn't even show the album art for the song. So if I wan to listen to "Grease" from my "I'm having a bad day" playlist I can't just look for the album "grease" because each song is listed individually. I really hope I can return this to the store.
UPDATE: If you select all your compilations/soundtracks and "get info" you can indicate that it is part of a compilation and it will only show up once in coverflow=) You can even select multiple albums at once - just takes time to process.
 the iPod was defective November 25, 2008
hi, i'm from Peru, i'm sorry that i have to do this but i'm upset with this purchase, because i bought an 160G classic iPod, and it was defective, the audio is so awful, it sounds like it scrapes, i try for two weeks, all kind of things, advices from iPod forums, from the apple web page, all, and nothing happens, i ask for technical help, so i write to the seller (MOBILESAHRK) and they said that i have to resent the iPod. In brief, i'm very very upset with all this situation, i hope that they send me a brand new iPod with all the payments covered, because here in Peru i paid taxes because this purchase, the product was withhold in custums, i paid 91$ taxes plus the 300$ for the used "LIKE NEW" iPod.
Well, i'm only waiting for exemplary solution here.
 great classic, but not the best November 25, 2008
this is my third ipod after the 3g ipod nano and the 1st gen ipod touch, and this is the best one although i was expecting more.
i like to have my entire video collection with me so the 8gb itouch wasnt enough, so i sold it to get the 80gb classic, and even though i can carry more than enough, the software is not that good is slow, sometimes freezes, the coverflow is uselees because of this.
i only have 12gb of space used so this ipod is more than enough for me.
the downside from being with apple is itunes, so if you want to change to lest say a ZUNE you'll have to do it all over again with your music library and stuff.
so if you havent decided yet, think twice before choosing one of them.
