 So so January 2, 2009
John Mcallister (Wirral, UK)
Not that impressed with itunes and where it decides to place your music...some albums even get split in half??? Also I'm not impressed with the EU volume limit which (up to now) cannot be removed as Apple have even gone to the trouble to encrypt the firmware....I'm 50 years of age and would like to choose the max volume for myself. I will not buy another ipod while this remains in place.

Wow, this is my first iPod and until buying this life revolutionary device I had never had the pleasure of holding such a beautifully piece of design technology kit. Its smooth, its poesy, its sexy, I love it.
I bought the iPod for music on the go primarily to add flexibility to my listening choice whilst motoring, however at a later stage I will buy a docking station/speaker arrangement to charge the iPod and to listen to my tunes in the bedroom or the garage etc. The iPod for me is still not a replacement for my separate HiFi components, it is very good at what it does and for some people it may well function perfectly as a main source of music in and around the home. I guess it depends how important music and the quality of its sound is to you, in your life. Nonetheless its as good as you can expect from any in the ear portable music system.
The earphones provided with the iPod are ok however seem to fall from my ears at the slightest rhythmical nod and have now been replaced with Technika (Tesco's electrical brand, 6.99) earphones which have a better shape and seem to cling to the ear and provide a sound quality no worse than that of the supplied earphones.
A lot has been said about the volume output of the iPod, and I was a little concerned when making my purchase that I would be disappointed by this however such fears were needless. Yes if there is a lot of background noise it will impact on your listening experience however in general use, walking down the street, jogging in the gym etc. the volume output is more than sufficient and comments to the contrary I can only describe as overly critical and suggest such complainants invest in having their ears syringed to better aid amplification.
Battery life I find inconvenient, as it seemingly requires a bi daily charge the power draining from it like the life from a drowning cat. This maybe is to do with the fact that I primarily use my iPod in the car with a wireless radio transmitter, however I don't know for sure if this is the reason why or is it that I'm expecting too much?
Like an attractive woman, the iPods beauty fades with time (but unlike a woman not the appeal). Within just a few weeks of our relationship despite lovingly securing my musical pleasure provider in a little leather case, she became scratched, dinted and tired looking and despite vigorous rubbing of her wounds her cosmetic scars remain.
When fresh from its beautiful packaging the iPod is born empty of music and your CD collection has to be uploaded via your computer using iTunes software available as a free download from []. This software is not the friendliest around, I have found it does not always attach the correct album artwork and with some obscure albums, the artwork cannot be found. If like me you have a number of mp3 CD's or pirated CD's if imported into iTunes the track names won't be assigned which is a real pain to rectify, you have then to retype the track names or cut and paste them from an online CD retailer who provides track listings.
All said and done buy an iPod it is an intelligent move of which you'll approve, it will make you dance it will make you groove.
classic ! November 28, 2008
Sara Moss (welling, kent, england)
i had an old, small memory, broken ipod that needed replacing, and was very happy and grateful when i received this silver classic 80gb apple ipod as a gift. its fantastic ! i transferred all my music collection on to it, which is currently a few thousand songs, and i still have room for many thousands more ! the memory size of the ipod is enormous, should be adequate for me for many years, i will probably wear it out before i fill it up ! im a happy girl, proud owner of this item, i reommend it.
Looks nice but let down by poor sound and rubbish software November 7, 2008
Ian buys stuff from amazon
I owned a Sony A818 walkman for a year and bought the the ipod a few months ago.
First the positives:
* large capacity (beats my previous Sony's 8GB)
* looks nice
Now the negatives:
* sound quality is noticeably worse compared to my old Sony. No really, its that bad I thought there was something wrong with the IPod. As a test I played a 320kbit MP3 on the IPOD and a 192kbit wma on the Sony through an external Denon amp and Mission speakers and the Sony was easily the better sounding player, even with the lower quality audio file. The IPod's EQ functions only made it sound worse with clipping and distortion evident throughtout on the IPod when the EQ function was enabled.
* Battery life is not very good compared to my old Sony - I guess the IPod's hard disk is partly to blame for this.
* ITunes - we simply didn't get on. When I presented it with my existing music collection (< 1000 albums) it just stopped responding. No errors, no messages - nothing. This seems to be a pattern when anything unexpected happens - it just throws a hissy-fit and sulks. I was also shocked that I had to provide a credit card to Apple to get track names and cover art to be downloaded automatically.
* It scratches very easily (a protector should be considered a necessity - but then the scroll wheel doesn't work so well because of the silicon cover between it and your finger).
* Cover flow looks nice but I found that only being able to see a couple of album covers at a time actually made finding an album more difficult.
* The player locks up now and then. There is no reset switch so the first time this happened I had no idea what to do about it. Fot info: toggle hold switch a couple of times, then hold play and menu together for 10 seconds (repeating this step until the player reboots).
If I could change the IPod?
Make it smaller, lighter and don't force me to use ITunes but most of all improve the sound quality.
I'll chalk my experience with the IPod down to experience and have bought a new 16GB Sony S630 from Amazon.

Such a simple player to use - I've got it hooked up to the hi-fi in my car & it took literally moments to get it up & running
