Good buy, but pricey... should have bought earlier
I purchased this ipod to finally scratch the itch I have been having ever since I upgraded the sound system on my truck. I wanted to be able to listen to any / all of my music at all times and the only way to do this effectively was to get myself this little bugger and connect it to my stereo / dvd player. Why did apple ever stop making these? I will never know. Why didnt I buy one when they first came out? Lack of foresight. Nevertheless, the device is in good shape. The screen is vibrant and after formatting the hard drive (which I wholly recommend, even if you are using itunes to re-initialize the whole device later, everything is working fine. Sound through my vehicle speakers is great, and if later on I want to watch podcast videos, or any other content I so chose, Ill buy the video cable and replace the one i got now. I recommend this nugget to anyone who doesnt want to deal with cloud storage or blowing thru your data cap just listening to music. As an added bonus, you can show your photos on your car display screen from the ipod as well. Wireless bluetooth would have been the icing on the cake but that was too much to ask from apple then. As with all their devices, Apple future-proofs their market by making things obsolete with each generation. Control will never be obsolete in my book, however, and this device gives total control to a true music lover in spades.Read full review

Functional, but disappointing.
So I bought this used iPod knowing I might encounter some issues I wouldn't have if I'd just sprung and bought a brand new one, but I find some issues I'm encountering surprising. The light wear and tear/paint chips are completely negligible and acceptable, but the decent scratch across the screen that I don't think was mentioned in the description was a bummer. Now granted, I uploaded almost 16,000 songs onto this thing immediately, but another issue it has that my new buy never had was that there's a few-second lag between tasks when try to use the scroll wheel; for example, I'll put on Shuffle Songs and it will be 7-12 seconds later until I can even use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume, etc.
But the most disconcerting issue of all is the battery life: I understand an older battery may have less capacity, and while my brand new iPod/battery I had 2 years ago could last a good 15 hours of use or more, this one seems to give up around 6-8 hours of near-constant use and often reads that it has a depleted battery when just seconds earlier it said it had almost half battery life yet. When I got to put on a new artist/album/shuffle songs after several hours of using it during the week day, it will immediately say its batter is depleted and no longer work until I charge it with my portable charger, wall charger, or FM modulator charger. It's an issue I've definitely never experienced before with any iPod. I will probably have to manually replace the battery myself with a newer battery I already have to alleviate this astonishingly enraging problem.
I guess this is what I get for buying used.Read full review

Good for on the go simplicity.
Great interface and storage are the saviors of this media player. Unfortunately, it doesn't support any bit rate above 320 kbps, so anyone with higher quality audio (i.e. FLAC, OGG Vorbis) will need to compress their files in order to sync them. Also, the battery life is nothing to write home about.
Aside from that, it's super easy to use, and is compatible with almost everything these days. It's got great storage space, though removable storage would make things much better for those with large libraries.Read full review

Holds a Boatload of Tunes. Audio Quality a Slight notch below Gen 5 Wolfson DAT
Holds a lot of tunes and the iPod is easy to use once you've mastered iTunes.
Sound quality wise (subject to personal preferences) is just a tad below the Gen 5 models with the Wolfson chip.
All in all a great value at used eBay prices.Read full review

Ipod works great, the cord does not
The cord that came with this ipod is not a designated Apple product. I plugged the Ipod into my laptop using the cord and the ipod never synced up. I tried the same thing with a regular charger and the Ipod still didn't recognize it was plugged in. I looked online and found out the charger was an off brand from china. I was disappointed with this part of my purchase.
Other than that the Ipod works with my other charger that I luckily had from my old Ipod, so I can still use it.Read full review

Great product
After about 10 years, my iPod Classic died. It made me sad. I'm a fitness professional and loved it because I could download my entire fitness CD library onto it. My daughter has one, too and she bought a refurbished Classic on eBay years ago so she suggested I do the same. I'm so happy to have a "new" iPod Classic, again. Read full review

iPod Classic is like 'Old is Gold'
Despite its discontinuance, I consider this as one of the best products launched by Apple. Its huge disk size 160 GB stores my entire collection of around 19,000 songs. Its inter-phase is simple and it is easy to use. This is my second iPad Classic -- the first one lasted almost 10 years.Read full review

Excellent Product w/ expanded Memory...
I love iPod Classics and this one is no exception. I love the look and the ease of operation too. Plus, it's nice to have 256 GB of memory instead of just having the 160 GB, as with my older model. It works seamlessly and never gives any problems. Also the battery lasts forever on this one. I like that alot. Just can't say enough about how much I am enjoying this item. Superb product and eSeller. I highly recommend both....Read full review

The 120 gb version is not 7th Generation
The 120 gb version was made in 2007. It was the only year that size drive was installed. It is at best a Generation 6. Technically a Generation 5.
Mine has either HD bad spots or I experienced a poor download. It pauses when hooked up to my Alpine head unit on dozens of songs. When I have time I will try delete and reload of specific songs to determine if HD is faulty.Read full review
