 Apple iPod classic 80 GB Black (6th Generation) December 2, 2008
David J. Gillespie
I am pleased with the look and sound of the ipod. Overall it is pretty good. My concern is that the dial sticks and I cannot always navigate from artist, song, compilations, etc. My hope is that it is just a slight glitch and not going to get worse and then eventually not work at all. I bought brand-new ipod so I am disappointed that this ipod isn't 100%.
 So far so good! December 2, 2008

I purchased this item not long ago, but I do enjoy its design as well as quality of the movies and the fact the memory is so big! :)
Discolored November 29, 2008

Ipod had a sticky bar code across the front, when I took it off, there was a discolored area on the toggle. I had no problem returning the item.
About the sound... November 29, 2008
Yachtman
I agree with other critics of the sound on this unit..HOWEVER I have recently learned something that might help you.
I had ripped my music to the Apple Lossless format because I listen to a lot of classical stuff and wanted the highest quality. The iPod sound was AWFUL and no EQ setting would fix it. So I experimented a bit and found that I got a much more acceptable sound using high quality MP3 format.
If you suspect the A/D converter try this experiment - play the same MP3 file in iTunes and Windows Media player. You may need a file with lots of information, say a symphony. I hear a distinct difference with iTunes being on the thin & tinny side. WMP is fuller and richer. Wouldn't surprise me that Apple's A/D algorithm is poor to start and the impact is worsened when moving the data to the iPod.
I also agree with critics of the EQ. Forget it.
After all this, I think the product is very good after converting my library to MP3.
 Playlists are VERY limited November 27, 2008
santamonica22 (los angeles, ca USA)
The capacity and the physical size are great. But... The wheel is far less responsive than the second gen I've been using for years. Maybe I'll get used to it. Sadly, in coverflow, the iPod can ONLY sort by artist. I have about 30GB of soundtracks and compilations. So each album appears several times in coverflow (once per artist). VERY annoying.
This is the real deal breaker for me: Unlike iTunes, when browsing a playlist on the iPod, you can ONLY view by songs (iTunes allows you to browse each playlist by album - grid or coverflow). This is HORRIBLE. I have 90GB of music. I have a few key playlists that contain the 200+ albums I listen to regularly. However, I am unable to view the albums on the iPod because you can only view by song in playlists. It doesn't even show the album art for the song. So if I wan to listen to "Grease" from my "I'm having a bad day" playlist I can't just look for the album "grease" because each song is listed individually. I really hope I can return this to the store.
UPDATE: If you select all your compilations/soundtracks and "get info" you can indicate that it is part of a compilation and it will only show up once in coverflow=) You can even select multiple albums at once - just takes time to process.
