Huge storage (who really has 40
000 songs?)
Good value
Anodised aluminium front feels like quality

The editors didn't like
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
And so it may struggle to find a position in the market. However
The massive storage capacity should be ...
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
But marred by hard disk lag issues
Sound quality still
At best
Mediocre
Cover Flow a case of form over function
New accessories required for video out
Some older iPod video accessories may not be compatible
Users are required to use the latest version of iTunes
Apple has done very little to improve the iPod classic with this iteration - thats not necessarily a bad thing. It remains the iPod to own if you want to carry a lot of media with you. The Genius feature is a nice addition as is the ability to quickl...
New York? Pah! This is the Big Apple! The iPod Classic comes in at a morbidly-obese 120GB.That’s enough for 30,000 songs and 150 hours of video - or one Kevin Costner movie. It’s called the Classic because it retains the original iconic design...
As good as the Classic is, it isn’t perfect. While the Cover Flow system is a touch of class, it doesn’t move as fluidly as the Flash-based Touch and nano, and menus aren’t as free-flowing. It’s also a little bit of bloater, but th...
It’s like Apple’s shoved the iPod from six years ago in a cryogenic chamber, gutted its innards, and shoved in a whopping great 120GB hard drive. Fantastic for people afraid of change or who have more songs than sense. Apple iPod Classic is ta...
Huge capacity; great sound quality; support for high-quality audio and video formats; decent screen; integration with iTunes for music, movie and TV show downloads; heaps of accessories available; sturdy design
Only one capacity option; lacklustre EQ options; weaker battery life compared with previously available classic
120GB of storage and the addition of the Genius feature, makes up for the slightly reduced battery life over the previous model, reaffirming the iPod classic as our favourite portable audio player on record ...
Abstract: Apples 120GB iPod Classic is one of only three portable players here with a hard disk instead of flash memory. Despite this, it did very well in our battery tests. It lasted nearly 42 hours in our audio test, and eight hours and 34 minutes in our ...

Bright, clear screen; excellent battery life, improved user interface, includes three new games, sounds as good as previous full-sized iPod; attractively priced with good price per GB
Sluggish interface and unresponsive controls, incompatible with many existing dock-connector accessories, can’t use previously purchased games, Cover Flow not terribly helpful Min specs: USB 2.0, Mac OS X 10.4.8, iTunes 7.4
If capacity is your prime concern, the iPod classic is the one to own. But it’s not flawless. Yes, the interface is slicker and sometimes more helpful, but ultimately it’s no easier to find and play your music on this iPod than it is on a 5G i...
Abstract: Worthy successors to the iPod name. The hard disk iPod is better than ever. The legendary white iPod is no more. In its place is a slimmer brushed aluminium model, in silver or black, known as the iPod classic. Unlike Coke Classic, its even better t...
Abstract: Both players have their strong points, but the best feature remains the simple interface and excellent design. The iPod touch might be the one grabbing headlines, but Apple has given the entire iPod range a thorough shake-up. Theres no longer any suc...
Abstract: With dimensions of 103.5 x 62 mm, the Classic is certainly a reasonable size for an mp3 player. It’s quite thin, particularly the 80 GB version, with a thickness of 10.5 mm (fully 3 mm less than the 160 GB version). The 80 GB model is also lighter, weig...
