Product description

Apple 160GB iPod classic – Black

Features

Decisions, decisions. Who needs ’em? Why should you have to choose what to put on your iPod? With 160GB of storage, this iPod classic lets you carry everything in your collection—up to 40,000 songs or up to 200 hours of video—everywhere you go. Play up to 7 hours of video or up to 40 hours of audio on a single charge. In a completely new, even thinner, all-metal design, this iPod is a modern classic.

Cover Flow: If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod classic, you can flip through your music to find the album you want to hear. Use the Click Wheel to browse music by album cover, then select an album to flip it over and see the track list.

Music: Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, browse in Cover Flow, or explore the Music menu by playlist, artist, album, song, genre, composer, and more. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod classic makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright, color display.

Movies: Buy movies from the iTunes Store and you can sync them to your iPod classic to watch anywhere, anytime. This iPod classic holds up to 200 hours of movies, and the gorgeous 2.5-inch display makes them pop. On a single charge, this iPod classic keeps you entertained for up to 7 hours. Long flight or darkened room? Adjust the brightness for even more video playback time.

TV shows: There’s always something good on iPod classic. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them, then sync them to iPod classic. Watch last night’s episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon.

Podcasts: The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod classic. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Audiobooks: The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks—including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series—so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod classic takes you. iPod classic even recognizes where you left off reading and bookmarks your place.

Games: Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod classic comes with three games—Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike—and you can purchase more from the iTunes Store. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display.

Photos: iPod classic holds thousands of photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows—complete with music and transitions—on iPod classic or on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Extras: Calendars, contacts, and a clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the screen lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod classic from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, just reset when you sync. Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.

Requirements: For the Mac: USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X (v10.4.8 or later) and iTunes 7.4 or later. For the PC: USB 2.0 port, Windows Vista or XP Home/Professional with Service Pack 2 or later and iTunes 7.4 or later. iTunes can be downloaded free from www.apple.com.

Beware - 'Video out' capability disabled in Classic Ipod
Reviewer: Murray from Philadelphia on Sep 17, 2007
188 out of 217 found this review helpful

I would not have bought this so quickly had I known that Apple disabled the video out capability. The video settings menu is still there, but all the clicking in the world will not change OFF to Ask or On. Apple will soon be selling a $49 accessory to allow some limited output of video. I already own the Icuiti IWear. Memorex and Virtual Reality Ipod video accessories, all now rendered useless by this greedy move on Apple's part. We all expect value-added from Apple, not elimination of a basic feature. Shame on you, Apple and Steve Jobs.

Very convience for travel
Reviewer: Ron from Kuwait on Apr 6, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful

I love being able to travel and carry my own playlist of movies. I have over 10 TV series on my Classic. The only drawback is it needs a $ 57. mutifunction cable to play on the TV. other than that I love it.
