User Submitted Apple iPod classic 120 GB Silver (6th Generation) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2009-01-05 Finally gave up waiting for my 3G to break... I exceeded the capacity of my 20 gig 3G a couple of years ago (BTW I quit using iTunes store years ago & have been buying content strictly from Amazon--VERY happy re this). I replaced the battery twice & even dropped it in a stream (fully under water for ~15-20 seconds, I pried open the case & got out a hair dryer) but it kept on churning out songs. After 5 years of being a very happy iPod user, and, having the most ancient iPod on the block, I bit the bullet and bought a new 120 Classic. By far the most difficult piece of this was getting my iTunes directory cleaned up and getting cover art on every album (thanks Amazon). Love the skip counts. Love being able to keep all my holiday music & classical music but NOT having Horowitz follow the Chili Peppers while I'm skiing (Option>skip when shuffling). I have run, show skied, and biked with a hard drive based player for 5 years and I have never had a skip or a burp. I considered a nano but 16 gigs not enough and who wants to take a computer on vacation. If you do that they will make you work. Date: 2009-01-04 K.I.S = Keep It Simple The IPOD classic is a great device. I currently have the 80G Ipod I purchased almost 2 years ago. Everyone around me is getting the IPOD touch and claiming how HOTT it is. I will agree that it is very savvy but I like to keep it simple. I don't use my IPOD to go online, look at photos or play games with. If I were 16, that might be ok but I am a little out of that range. I picked up the 120G IPOD for music and occasional videos. If I am in the airport, I might want to look at a video to pass the time but mainly, I just listen to music. I like the fact that if I want to look at a video, I can especially on the 2.5 inch screen. (thus me not picking the Nano). It comes in two colors, silver or black. That depends on you, again, I am not a teenager so, a red or lime green device being pulled from my briefcase at work is not my idea of professional. Both colors are simple and all in all, the classic does the job. I listen to music and all I need is a device that allows me to do just that. If you are trying to decide if you should get a 120G classic, I say go for it if you want straight music. But if you want bells & whistles, the touch might be more your speed. YMMV...NEOSOUL06 Date: 2009-01-03 classic ipod 120 gb received today, spent 6 hours trying to get iTues to load into computer. Error message keeps coming us saying that QuickTime did not initialize, error 2096. Spoke to apple rep in India, spent over an hour on the phone with them, no luck. Will be returning tomorrow morning. Peter. Date: 2009-01-03 One reason to buy iPod Classic 120GB, Genius playlists! I have been using "anything but iPod" mp3 players for years, started with early Rio players, first disk based player was Rio Karma (still works, a great player!), moved on to Rio Carbon, a Creative Zen 30GB, then bought a few Zunes (30GB and 80GB), even a Sansa Clip 4GB on Black Friday. I always steered clear of iPods and iTunes. What changed my mind? iTunes 8 and the Genius feature! I have a powerful Mac desktop at work, loaded all my MP3's into iTunes (over 95GB of music), when iTunes 8 was released in Sept. 08, everything changed. The Genius feature in iTunes 8 automatically makes a playlist by choosing a single song. So far, the playlists have been amazing. Since I have complete albums in my collection (not popular cuts), it is reasonable that I'm not familiar with every song in my collection. The iTunes Genius playlist feature consistently brings up songs that are excellent, but I wasn't familiar with or hadn't listened to in years. After playing with the Genius playlist feature in iTunes, I wanted this capability on my MP3 player. Only way to get it was buy the latest iPod Classic 120GB. Versions from last year (80GB and 160GB) don't and won't support the Genius feature on the iPod. OK Apple, you win, I bought the iPod Classic 120GB. Haven't regretted it a minute. Now I can make Genius playlists on the fly directly on my iPod. If you have a lot of music and want to make the most of in on a portable MP3 player, get the iPod Classic 120GB. Been using it over a month now, still finding "new" music in my collection. Genius feature is Pure Genius! Kudos to Apple and its development team. Date: 2009-01-02 This is the best iPod value. Period. There are plenty of positive, honest reviews about this unit and they are all dead-on. The newer iPod Touch models are sweet if you are in to the "Wow Factor", but for the practical audiophile, this is THE iPOD to own. The screen produces rich colors and sharp images, the sound is terrific and the thin profile makes my original 20 GB iPod look and feel like a brick. The screen size is no issue. While I was in the hospital recovering from major surgery, I watched hours of movies that literally saved me from boredom. Bottom line for the Classic: A high price-performance ratio and the best iPod value.
