Paul, Plymouth , “Honest”
+ Huge memory. I have a large (1000 plus) CD collection I expect the entire collect to take up just over half of the Ipod memory. My entire photo collection is also aboard. I use it daily walking to and from work (and I can still hear the traffic around me). At lunchtime I lower the volume and plug in for half and hours sanity. Easy to use. Sound quality good compared with average MP3 player. I like the album cover display in fact I like the display period.
- If it dies you lose the lot. This means you have to keep all your music on your PC or go through the process of putting all your music back on your PC. My first Ipod died on me and I lost over 3500 tracks. Learnt my lesson and keep them on the PC now but it uses a huge slice of memory to do so. Difficult to see display in the light which is a pain when walking. A bit pricey. You have to use Itunes, lack of choice.

160GB means everything goes on in .wav format (16-bit 44.1Khz).
Screen is quality for Video and Pics.
Battery lasts a lot longer than 4th gen 20GB.
- The latest version of iTunes is very processor hungry, and changing your video clips to suit is time consuming.

+ all the benefits of ipod as you would expect
- due to EU laws, cap on volume has been limited, this is awful as for a lot of things it isn't loud enough to hear anything, and I don't like blasting my ears out, it's just not good enough and would not purchase it again if i knew that now... i'm going back to my old 30gb model that does it's job

David, Manchester , “A music loving pensioner”
+ All one would want in an mp3 player. Huge memory, long lasting battery, good sound quality.
-
Cannot delete tunes from the player - only through iTunes.
Only the track title scrolls along. The artist/album name, if more than 20 characters, are incomplete.

Capacity of the hard drive, no need to manually manage your music just load the whole collection.
Although bulky in comparison to the Nano it is still small enough to carry with you when travelling.
-
Controls can take some getting used to.
Having to read the manual on line.

MP3 Players Buying GuideManufacturer's Description
One size fits all.
With 120GB of storage, iPod classic is the take-everything-everywhere iPod.
One word: Capacity.
With 120GB of storage, iPod classic can hold up to 30,000 songs, 150 hours of video or 25,000 photos. That’s more than enough room for a day’s1 — or a lifetime’s — worth of entertainment.
Feed your iPod classic.
iTunes is your entertainment superstore. It’s your ultra-organised multimedia collection and jukebox. And it’s how you load iPod classic with music, videos, TV shows, games, podcasts and audiobooks.
Classic beauty.
Available in quintessential silver or striking new black, iPod classic catches your eye with its sleek, all-metal enclosure composed of anodised aluminium and polished stainless steel.
Meet a musical Genius.
Say you’re listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. With a few clicks, the new Genius feature finds the songs in your library that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. You can listen to the playlist right away, save it for later, or even refresh it and give it another go. Count on Genius to create a mix you wouldn’t have thought of yourself.
Watch videos.
The vivid 2.5-inch display makes video come alive. Purchase TV shows and download video podcasts from the iTunes Store, then sync them to your iPod classic to watch anywhere, anytime.
Click to enjoy.
Finding exactly what you want to watch or listen to is easy. Use the Click Wheel to browse by album art with Cover Flow or navigate your songs and videos by playlist, artist, album, genre and more. You can also search for specific titles and artists. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs for a different experience every time.
Play iPod games.
Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod classic comes with three games — Vortex, iQuiz and Klondike — and you can purchase games such as Monopoly from the iTunes Store. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface.
Hold everything.
iPod classic gives you 120GB of storage capacity, good for up to 30,000 songs, 150 hours of video, 25,000 photos, or any combination. And you get up to 36 hours of battery life, so you can keep on rocking for a long, long time.1
Leave no tune behind.
With 120GB of space, iPod classic means you can always have your entire music and movie library with you. Carry it from the living room to a party in the backyard. Or take it on a cross-country road trip and never listen to the same song twice.
Share your photos.
iPod classic uses iTunes to sync the photos you have in iPhoto on a Mac, or Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop Album on a PC. View photo slideshows complete with music and transitions on iPod classic, or play them on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.
Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding. Video capacity is based on H.264 1.5-Mbps video at 640-by-480 resolution combined with 128-Kbps audio. Photo capacity is based on iPod-viewable photos transferred from iTunes. Actual capacity varies by content. Battery testing conducted by Apple in August 2008 using preproduction hardware and software. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced (see www.apple.com/uk/support/ipod/service/battery). Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/uk/batteries for more information.
