With 80GB or 160GB of storage, iPod classic gives your music and video room to move. It also has plenty of energy (up to 40 hours of audio playback), good looks (a sleek, all-metal design), and a great personality (a brand-new interface with Cover Flow). In other words, iPod classic makes an ideal companion.

TV Shows
There's always something good on iPod classic. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just $1.99 each, then sync them to iPod classic. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon.
Podcasts
The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod classic. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.
Audiobooks
The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks — including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series — so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod classic takes you. iPod classic recognizes where you left off and bookmarks your place. You can even adjust the reading speed to suit you.

- Love my iPod
- Hey... it's an iPod... It works like it should and everyone knows they are cool. More reviews
- Very happy with the results
- I read a large selection of all reviews and decided to go ahead with the purchase. While it wasn't quite as "Plug and play" as I might have hoped, it was user error on my part that slowed me down getting audio books loaded. Once I got that figured out, in less than a day, I had my entire audio book collection on it and I'm over the moon with More reviews
- All my music, all my Mythbusters, all my movies, still 16gb!
- My 80gb classic has been great. I have over 6 DAYS of video on it and all of my music and it still has about 16gb to go. When it was about 3 months old, the drive hit 40gb and refused to go any further, not one MB. I took it to the apple store, they reformatted it, still the same problem. Took it back again, they replaced More reviews
- not able to pop in a battery
- I have NEVER understood the hype about ipods... GREATEST DISADVANTAGE, YOU CANNOT PUT IN ANOTHER BATTERY, when it's empty. Should be possible to switch a battery as easy as it is with a cellphone and a a digital camera.
You're on a holiday trip, or at the beach, and halfway, you run out of power... LAUGHABLE.
and when the battery is dead in 3 or 4 years time, you can More reviews
- Just what you'd expect from Apple - Quality!
- This is my 3rd Apple iPod, the first being a 2G Nano, the second, and the one I just replaced, a 5G 60Gb Classic. From the beginning I have been impressed with the build quality of the iPod. Sturdy and nicely engineered, they not only look the business, they deliver the goods.
