This unit has a thick case which accommodated the 80 Gb HD back in the day. Now it affords the opportunity to place a high capacity battery and a solid state drive for lots of songs, recorded books or files. You can convert this iPod to a 1 TB portable hard drive with a solid state drive and 4 micro SD cards using an iFlash card. Can also be converted to an mSATA portable drive with an mSATA drive and an adapter from iFlash. With the large capacity, you can save lots of WAV files instead of MP3. This generation iPod has the best D to A converter (Wolfson).

I bought a clean used 80g model on E-Bay for $160. I could have gone to B&H or J&R Music and purchased a new 120G model for around $250. If I was buying for first time, I would spend extra to get a new one. I didn't want to spend the extra money as this 80G model serves my needs just fine (mostly listening to music and be able to carry my entire music collection of 15,000 songs). I do like the newer 6th generation models in that they are slightly slimmer and can hold even more songs/videos. This 80G model will play upwards of 12-15 hrs. of music as long as you do not keep dialing on the jog wheel. It's slightly bulkier than the 5th gen. 30G model which can be had for around $100 in E-Bay but the battery life of 80G is somewhat better than the 30G model. All 5th gen. models play video which is a plus although the display is really too small for extended viewing. All in all, if you can score a nice used one for around $150, then you done ok. Pro: well-designed and well-built, large song capacity, long bettery life, well-designed iTune interface, fairly durable, easy to use. Con: bulky (compared to 6th gen. model), relatively heavy, one has to be careful of any MP3 player using hard drive mechanism, chrome back is finger print magnet (this problem is addressed in 6th gen. models with textured covering). Buying used is always riskier prposition than than buying new. Newer models might offer more bang for slightly more bucks. Either way, new or used, you can't go wrong with Apple iPods. Even after having 6-7 years to catch up, no other manufacturer captures the essence of portable music device better than Apple.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Once you get to know all the software for copying your audio and video onto this tiny entertainment machine it will become a necessity. I'm a huge music fan and have about 12,000 songs on this machine, but further to that i have many hours of video. Of course, the battery runs down much quicker with video (still get about 4 - 6 hours of video use!) it's excellent for travel. For international charging i purchased a charger/player, so i can listen via speakers while the ipod is charging. My only problem with this machine is that it occasionally seizes and needs one of those two button resets (i can never remember which two buttons and just try them til i get it right) but it's always back to normal after that.
It's a great little sound machine. My only low point is that for a new unit the battery is not as strong as it should be. I had the same ipod for over 10 years and that battery was as strong after 10 years as this brand new ipod.

If you are going to purchase an iPod, think about WHY - because you can't add storage space (or memory) AND the battery is not easily replaceable, AND if you aren't careful you can 'accidentally delete' everything on it when plugging it into a computer! When they work good, they are great, once setup - and once you get everything you want on it... so long as the battery remains in good shape. Personally, I think the RCA Lyra and Audiovox Video are better units - but bigger (and more flexible). If you have more than one to manage - turn them to 'hard drive' mode, and all 'auto-sync'ing' off... it took me a while to figure that one out. Unfortunately, with 8 kids wanting and using "what's normal" in school, Apples marketing has done better than technical sense and logic. If the battery was more easily changeable, and one computer could more readily handle multiple units out of the gate (upon initial plug in - verses having to change the settings for that) then there would be no need for any other type of MP3 (or MP4) player. Think about how you are planning to use it - how often & for how long - and what you'll do if you can't get to a plug in or USB port (like international travel, camping trips, etc.). There are some awesome add-on's for the iPods... and personally, I wouldn't mess with anything less than a 30gig unit... 60, 80, and 160's offer even more backup and storage ability, so long as that battery continues working well. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Terry Mercer (aka foghornleg90)Vollständige Rezension lesen
