Still reliant on iTunes
Sound quality could use a little work The Final Word The iPod classic is relatively plain compared to the nano and touch

EQ control is limited
The plastic screen is susceptible to scratching
And the only way to move media on and off the device is through iTunes

The iPod Classic offers a sleek, understated design with an easy-to-use interface and great podcast support; Genius feature creates new playlists for you; video playback is excellent; and rated battery life is great.
EQ control is limited; some older iPod video accessories may not be compatible; the plastic screen is susceptible to scratching; users are required to use the latest version of iTunes, which may not work on some older computer systems.
The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface. Price range: $234.99 - $249.99 check prices See all products in the series

Lots of storage capacity; impressive battery performance; Genius playlist support; browse album and artist features; slightly brighter display; charges with FireWire connection.
Doesn’t include such cool new iPod nano features as accelerometer or spoken menus; those with large media libraries may mourn the loss of the 160GB classic.
