I had previously had the 80GB Classic iPod, but had filled it with music, so was looking for something larger. However, I was put off by all the comments about the lack of volume. And I know a bit about volume, as I have seen The Who, Deep Purple and Motörhead, all holders of the 'loudest band' record in their time! Having looked around and found very little with a similar capacity (and nothing in a similar price range), I decided to take a chance - I mostly use the iPod in the car, through the cars stereo, so reasoned I could just crank that volume up to compensate.
Well, I don't know what the comments on volume (or lack of it) have been made in comparison to - but I can detect no difference between this and my old iPod (or indeed a Nano). OK, through the headphones it is not quite as loud as the bass bins at Motörhead, but still loud enough for me.
On other matters, the screen is certainly clearer than the previous 80GB one, for both text (song titles) and video. The only problem that I have, which is just the same as the previous iPod, is that when I drag and drop all my music into it somewhere in the process some of the song titles (within an album) get mixed up - the album will play in the correct order, but some of the song titles shown will be wrong. Not a major problem (but would be good if anyone knows a fix - and please don't say load the songs one at a time, I have WAY too many for that option!!) as it does not detract from the listening.
So, overall, I would thoroughly recommend this product as a portable music device. If, however, you want neighbour annoying volumes I suggest that you buy some hifi separates .......

I bought this to replace my 5 year old 60GB black 5th generation iPod as it was full up. At the time 60GB was big enough as I was ripping at 128kbps but since then iTunes Plus has doubled the quality rate (and the size required) plus I'm also using my iTunes library for streaming around the house and the extra quality is noticeable.
160GB should be enough to keep me going for a few more years. This generation iPod is a little over half of the thickness of my previous 'pod. Other small improvements are Genius mixes and a slightly better screen with the 'cover flow' function scrolling random album covers across the screen. Finally the screen is now split with the menu on the left and graphics on the right.
Unless you need the greater capacity of the 160GB drive, I would say there is no compelling reason to upgrade. For new buyers, if you have a lot of music and want it all with you wherever you go this is the best option. Less music and the Nano or Touch may suit you better.

I was very excited to get the device, having previously been please with Ipod minis and nanos. I have 80 GB of music and for the first time would not be restricted with what I could put on. For the first few months everything seemed to be okay, although I noticed some tracks skipping halfway through or missing completely. This gradually got worse over a few months, so I eventually decided to re-sync all the tracks. During syncing it would randomly pause while syncing, eventually crashing. Problem has got worse and worse. Syncing appears to be working for 100 songs or so, then all of a sudden it freezes, presents an error message and wipes all the songs from the device, including the songs that were already on. It builds your hopes up when you can see it's taken 500 songs then suddenly crashes and deletes everything. I've tried all the recommended helps - restoring the ipod several times, running checkdisc to scan and fix disc issues, but the thing is kaput. So disappointing, because it was very expensive and the design is great. I have invested so much time and effort in putting 80 GB music in Itunes that I'm effectively trapped with Apple. I would no longer recommend people using Apple to manage and store their music if this is the result.

I had a classic ipod before and sadly it became waterlogged and so I bought a new one. I love this ipod which gives me music, photos and videos wherever I am. Very easy to use. Just download all media from itunes.
I have the 160GB version and I have now downloaded about 200 albums and about 30 videos and there is still room for so much more. I would recommend getting a soft cover for it and keeping it covered as much as possible, so that the screen doesn't get scratched.
A terrific buy. I am very grateful to Steve Jobs and his creative team for designing this brilliant portable media machine.

Simple and elegant, the classic does one thing and one thing very well; play your music.
If you don't want apps and the headaches that come with keeping everything up to date, or you already have a smart phone but it doesn't have enough memory for all your music, get this.

Happy with purchase. Would recommend to an enemy ?!? I'm even thinking about officially getting married to the thing. The end.

I have always held off buying an ipod for 2 reasons. First, I thought I would have problems with the technology. Second, I have a large library of music and no ipod seemed big enough. Ten minutes out of the box and I was up and running and merrily 'synching' away. The whole thing was as easy as pie (and if the same goes for ipad, I'm willing to put my money down). Second, I got everything on with 50Gb odd to spare. Using the device was also very easy - the whole thing was really as intuitive as Apple advertises. My only cavil is the earphones. I found them very uncomfortable with a very poor response, so I am using high-end Bose noise cancelling phones which rather defeats the purpose of portable music. I'll look for some decent in-ear phones now. In summary, a buy that I have not the slightest regret in making.

I can just ear all my music in mono. It seems to be a very common problem for this device. I am so disappointed.
