Product description

Apple 160GB iPod classic – Silver

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.

It's About Time! 160GB's Is Just About Right...
Reviewer: AACb4MP3 from Chicago, IL. on Sep 17, 2007
112 out of 115 found this review helpful

First off...I appreciate a fine business strategy when I see one and understand why it took Apple this long to roll out the 160GB iPod. It doesn't mean I'm pleased that it's now my third iPod in as many years (40GB 'Click Wheel' & 60GB 'Video' prior to this purchase). But, with that out the way...I'll try my best to justify my rating(s). SOUND QUALITY- sound great of you rip to AAC 192 or higher. iTunes supports AAC so take advantage of the sonice upgrade (vs. MP3) and space savings. Encode your music lower and your ears pay the price - it's that simple. DURABILITY- I've had it for less than a week so this should the relevance is basically not applicable. However, my past iPods served without fail and I still use a three year old 40GB on the originally baterry so Apple gets the benefit of case history here. It would be nice if they pre-packaged a nice screen overlay or plastic case wrap as sold in the Apple stores separtely so without that inclusion I'll deduct a point. EASE OF DOWNLOADING MUSIC- the iTunes interface is very friendly even if their choice to continue with 'album only' tracks still exists. The ability to transfer and manage music is also seemless. Honestly I can't remark on Video or Picture functionality but the category is music anyway. COST-BENEFIT- absolutely justified: 160GB for $349 easy math, mass storage, etc. Even after the drive is formatted your left with just less than 149GB of usable space. Compare this to the new 'Touch' or iPhones and it's hard to argue which has the biggest bang for the buck. Consider the 80GB is $249 and for an extra $100 you get double the storage capacity and this one wins again. In summation, this 'Classic' gives me everything I've been waiting for from Apple unitl the Apple 'Old School 320GB' comes out next year for the same price!

I am happy
Reviewer: van from Illinois on Apr 22, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I can fit most everything on this Ipod. This is my third Ipod as well. I have one 60 gig Ipod photo, and another 60 gig Ipod video. That makes about an Ipod a year for me. The first Ipod is plum full of audio books downloaded from audible. In fact I couldn't keep my whole collection on it, and my second is about 3/4 full with mp3 audio files. In fact I don't even have my whole music collection on it either. With this 160 gig ipod I should be able to fit everything and maybe a movie or two on it. So I am very happy. Size matters. From my previous experiences I have been pleased with the performance of ipods in general. I don't think that the quality has gone down any. Both of my other ipods still work great. No problems there. This ipod cost the same as a60 gig ipod cost when that was the biggest memory you could get for ipod. If you are looking for alot of memory you can't go wrong here.
