Apple iPod classic 160 GB Silver (6th Generation)

I first purchased this item about a year ago for a Christmas present. It worked great for the first couple of months and then it would randomely turn off when it still had full battery! I thought that I could deal with that but it kept doing it more often, and then a few days ago it just shut off. It had half a battery still, and it won't turn on or even charge. It's competely busted! Blank screen and skrewed up. I saved my money for a long time to buy it and now I probably can't even get a refund :(. A waste of money and I'm left with nothing.

This is my first ipod ever.
Everyone I know has a ipod and i finally bought one, This one to be exact.
I didnt buy it from amazon but a pawnshop for $95, wierd no. I should of bought the 120GB for $100 but didnt do it and Im still pissed at myself.
Anywho, I love my ipod.
I have all my favorite songs on it, some anime and still trying to put movies on it. X-x
Im glad I didnt buy the shuffle or a smaller one b/c out of all the cds I put on itunes I had over 2,000. *FYI I jam out to showtunes*
It holds enough songs and videos to begin with and I still have 62.2 GB free. *Unfortunately I cant hold much info on my cheesey computer as I would like so i can transfer it to my ipod.*
Thing that stinks about it is the battery power.
I had to lower the brightness tremendously and the backlight to 2 seconds when it wasnt in use. If I didnt, the backlight would stay on for the longest time and drain the battery.
After I fixed the backlight to stay on for 2 seconds the battery didnt die out as quickly. The screen was VERY bright and I had to lower it, so it wouldnt hurt my eyes, and that helped a bunch.
Also, fast forwarding through songs/videos or scrolling throught the menu will drain the battery. =S *Again if I didnt change the settings then it would drain quickly as heck. Highly annoying* NOTE: THIS IS ALL BEFORE I CHANGED THE SETTINGS!!!!
Once I did, the scrolling didnt drain my battery TREMENDOUSLY!!! Everything was sunflowers and daisys.
As the screen size to view movies, I like it. Its okay, I do have a dvd portable player that I can watch movies on.
But as for this ipod, Its not TOO tiny or too small, that I can read the subtitles, whennI'm watching anime.
This is my first ipod and Im still working out the bugs and all.
Still its pretty good.
If you like watching films or music videos *that you can also get from youtube* then this would be good for you.
Oh, the size. Its not too big for my back pockets and I would HIGHLY recommend getting a case for it b/c it kept slipping out of my hands when I held it. I got a cheap skin at walmart for $4.*they sell them at the front registers*
Also, to charge it, I dont know but I prefer getting a wall charger for it. I hated leaving my computer on to charge the darn thing but once I worked everything out its worth it.
Now that I worked the bugs out my ipod battery power last for the longest time and have no problems..as of now.

I am very happy with my new iPod. It has all that I need now

I recently purchased my 160G IPOD and I'm elated with my purchase. As a traveling musician, it is so convenient to have my music library with me at all times. Waiting in airports and enduring long flights seem less exhausting with my trusty little IPOD. It could be more video friendly, though.

When I was looking for an MP3 player with so many on the market the main ones I was looking for was either an IPOD or Zune. I wanted something that could hold lots of songs as to me the idea of an MP3 player is the ability to take not some of your music but all of your music so I wanted something with a lot of memory space to be able to take all of my music which is quite extensive in my eyes. Looking at the Zune and IPOD for me I noticed that the IPOD operating system was a ton easier to use. My brother has a ZUNE and I have helped him put music onto the device for him and the difference between ITUNES and the ZUNE software is like night and day as for ease of putting the songs on your IPOD. The main differences also I noticed between this and the ZUNE besides the operating system on the players itself was 1. the screen size. The ZUNES screen is noticeably larger than the IPOD 2. Control of the unit. With The IPOD you use the wheel and scroll by rotating the wheel to the desired location where with the ZUne it is more of arrows you push making it a little easier to navigate. For me though the main reason I went with the Ipod over the Zune was 1. The price, 2. Itunes operating system, 3. Face it Apple has more experience in this field than ZUNE
