Review Verdict: 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 enough to attract anyone who has found that the touch's flash memory just isn't e

Apple iPod Classic 80GB
Comments:
Renewed and still one of the best players around.
Review Verdict: Complaints about the restrictive file format support, volume level and games compatibility aside, if you're in the market for a high-capacity music and video player the iPod Classic should be high on your shortlist. Its years at the top of the MP3 player

Apple iPod Classic
Comments:
Apple doesn't make a specifically prescribed video player, but this hot-of-the-presses new generation of its flagship portable is the closest. The entry-level capacity is now 80Gb, and the top end a seemingly impossible 160Gb
Review Verdict: Amazingly elegant, if restrictive, the iPod's massive capacity means it's still one of the best media players around

Apple iPod classic 80GB
Comments:
For us, the newly renamed iPod classic is the quintessential iPod, and on sheer value alone, it blows every other iPod out of the water. At the per-gigabyte price of the original iPod, the 160GB model should cost an astonishing £11,168
Review Verdict: Apple has annoyed us with its legacy support for games and accessories, but it's still superb

What does the word 'classic' suggest to you? A timeless masterpiece, a nostalgic yearning for the past. Or something that's past its prime? The new / old Apple iPod classic is all these things and more. Let us explain...
Review Verdict: There's never been a better time to buy a classic iPod. It sounds good, build quality is excellent and it boasts huge amounts of storage. Just don't expect it to be cool anymore. It's passed that mantle on the iPod touch and iPhone

The USB problem can render your unit unusable. So do NOT touch, jiggle, bump the USB cable once connected, or you risk being able to upload any more material. Also, beware the sorting, its by song title, so album contents are scattered all over, composer sort is by first name (how idiotic is that?!)
