I ordered this for my son; he is very happy with it. It has more features then his other 80GB IPod, which was stolen.
 Great features but my iPod is defective! August 18, 2008

Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (6th Generation)
My iPod experience was both heartbreaking and frustrating. I was attracted to the iPod Classic 160gb because of its storage capacity and the Apple iPod's (undeserved) reputation.
The good: the iPod looks great, and it was super easy to navigate through menus. I was able to use the iPod out of the box without looking at the user's guide. The menu structure is logical and friendly. The cover art flow feature is fantastic. With it, you can scan through all of your album covers from A-Z and then pick whatever you want. Battery life is very long. The screen is terrific. It's large, nice resolution and easy to see in bright sunlight. You can adjust the brightness. Sound quality was solid.
The bad: iTunes is quite limiting and syncing did not go well. In fact, I was unable to load more than 10gb onto the iPod. Anything more and the iPod and iTunes crashed. I tried Winamp and the ml_ipod plugin that comes so highly recommended. Same result. Under 10gb, no problem. Over and no deal. I "restored" the hard drive (which is like reformatting it) in iTunes, but this didn't make a difference.
The ugly: after several weeks, my iPod's hard drive failed completely (it's corrupted). It was not possible to "restore" it in iTunes. Resetting it didn't help. I could still navigate through menus, but there was no music on it, and I couldn't get iTunes to recognize it.
I didn't read any reviews before buying the iPod, because Apple has a long history of making iPods, they are very popular, and my best friend has a generation 5 iPod that he loved. But once I started having problems, I looked at many reviews (on Amazon and off), and I found a high number of people who reported problems with syncing and dying iPods. One person said that he posted negative comments about syncing and hard drive problems on Apple's discussion forum and that Apple was deleting his posts. He started monitoring the site and saw that a number of other similar posts from other users were also deleted. I guess Apple knows about the problem but doesn't want us to know...
Luckily mine died within the 30-day return period (I bought it from J&R through Amazon), and I'm getting a refund. I've read very good reviews about the Creative Zen 32gb and the new Zen X-Fi, so I ordered one last night. I'm sorely disappointed that I there isn't another high capacity mp3 player like the iPod (I haven't read good things about the Zune 80gb), but I'd rather have 32gb of great sound quality and a working unit than a 160gb paperweight.
I won't be buying any Apple products in the future.
Lo Maximo!! August 18, 2008

I own a second-generation (20 Gig) iPod that to this day works and sounds superior to this latest "classic" iteration. In my opinion, each generation of iPod goes down in quality and value. Apple did away with the convenient and superior Firewire connection, also gone is the remote control cable that allowed for track changes and volume control, and they no longer provide a charger. You now have to spend more $$$ for the remote, and for a charger that should have been included to begin with. All this and inferior sound (harsh).
