iPod Classic 2007 (sixth-generation)
“The first iPod put 1,000 songs in your pocket—this new iPod classic can put 40,000 songs in your pocket,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “With a thinner, all-metal enclosure and an enhanced user interface, the iPod classic is ideal for people who want to hold everything on their iPod.”
The new iPod classic holds up to 160GB of storage in an all-metal anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel enclosure. iPod classic works seamlessly with iTunes® so you can import, manage and then easily sync your favorite content. You can buy music, video and games for your iPod classic from the iTunes Store with more than six million songs available for preview and one-click purchase.
The new iPod classic features up to 40 hours of music playback and seven hours of video playback in the 160GB model, and up to 30 hours of music playback and five hours of video playback in the 80GB model on a single charge,* letting users enjoy their entire collections of music, audiobooks, audio and video podcasts, music videos, television shows and movies wherever they go.
The new iPod classic is perfect for playing iPod games and comes pre-loaded with iQuiz, the entertainment trivia game; Vortex, a fast-paced 360 degree brick-bashing game; and Klondike, the popular solitaire card game. Additional games will be available for purchase for the new iPod classic later this month from the iTunes Store, including Sudoku and Tetris from Electronic Arts and Ms. PAC-MAN from NAMCO.
The iPod is the world’s most popular family of digital music players with over 100 million sold. Today, Apple released its most exciting iPod lineup ever with the iPod shuffle in five new colors; iPod classic holding up to 40,000 songs; the incredible all new iPod nano with video playback; and the breakthrough iPod touch with a revolutionary multi-touch user interface. iPod owners can choose from a vast ecosystem of accessories with over 4,000 products made specifically for the iPod including cases, fitness accessories, speaker systems and iPod connectivity in over 70 percent of US automobiles.

Wow!
I’m think about getting an ipod classic, and I was just looking for reviews and some ipod classic instructions, but you did all the work for me!
Thanks.
if you are looking to convert videos from any format to mp4 format and to get them into itunes and fro there onto your ipod then isquint is your best option. it has an add to itunes feature and is free. all you need to do is to drag and drop a file into its window and si back and wait.
I just got my classic about a week ago and well it’s great. It is alot thinner than the 5th gen 80G and feels even better. The sound is still great, the screen bigger, and the battery life lasts longer. But there is one thing that really bugged me, the interface is at sometimes very sluggish. The click wheel is unresponsive at times but i noticed that it is more sensitive on the outside of the wheel then on the center. The cover flow is really pointless, great for the iTouch but pointless for the classic. Some of my friends paid 400$ for their 80G 5th gen ipods when i paid 254 for my classic. If your looking at this site your probably thinking about buying one and i would recommend it i have no regrets.
Just got an 80gb classic!
Excellent decision of mine. Luv it soooo much.
Sound and video quality is great,
I can’t wait till more games come out!
I have to agree with Franciso Lepe - it is slow at times.
But it is deff a great upgrade from my old 1G iPod Mini.
BUY ONE!
I just got a 160 Gig pod and I am actually quite upset at how slow it is. I am running a fairly powerful machine, 1 Gig RAM, 1.73 Ghz Toshiba. I am making some playlist of the 35 Gigs of music I have on it and my itunes freezes every 20-30 seconds for about 5 seconds. It is really annoying and seems like itunes cannot handle the vast size of this new generation ipod. If someone knows what I could do to speed itunes up a bit, or prevent it from freezing up, I would appreciate!
Martin
it is because itunes sux and it cant handle that much music you have to find another program to use such as media monkey
I got an 80GB, and the only bad things are that it doesnt play games, which will be fixed in the future, and the transition from the main page of the ipod to the music page or any other pages from the main menu. I really enjoy it though.
P.S. It does not work with the audio jack compostite or AV cables that worked for the hookup to your tv with the 5th gen!!!
dont buy it i got it and its messed up a lot error 50 48 69 1418 required disc any solutions plz
My 30G ipod was stolen yesterday. I paid $350 for it over 2 years ago. Since my insurance covered it, I bought a new ipod classic. I can’t believe I got 80G for $250! I have to buy a new computed for my last ipod because I didn’t have enough memory, now I’ll have to either get a new laptop or an external hard drive. I love the bigger screen, options available, and artwork flow. I can see it better in the car. Plus, the battery is great! Also, it is compatible with all the accessories I already had (docking speakers, etc.)
I do, however, have one complaint. I did buy one game for $4.99 before I realized I had a 6th generation, not a 5th. Apparently a lot of people made the same mistake. Live and learn I guess! I am looking forward to getting some new games at the end of the month.
Oh, and a lot of the hacker software isn’t compatible with these ipods….yet.

Actually, just like the 2ndGen Nano, the 6th Gen Classic, and all other iPods have encrypted firmware, and will most likely never be supported,
pity, =(
I have just purchased a 160gb ipod classic, so far so good, well it maay take time to work around the new interface, I am so far pleased, one thng I havn’t worked out is, all my earlier music albums on the older ipod did not have the cover flow, so how do I create coverflow for those earlier albums, if anyone can help, please contact, chr…
What I’ve done with my songs that doesn’t have any album artwork, I just looked up the album on google then right click on the album image on google and copy it. Then in Itunes, highlight the song title and go to more info then paste it on the fits tab on the right side.
I have tried to play videos on my ipod classic 160 gig but have been coming up short. I downloaded countless video converters but none of them work.
can someone please tell me what to do? I want to convert videos and watch them directly on my ipod.
Download Videora for iPod classic, you’ll find it on google, it works perfectly with my ipod classic 80GiG, hope that helps…
I’ve been using Handbrake to convert the movie. If the movie has copyright, use DVD Shrink (google it). Once its been decripted using DVD Shrink, find the [Movie title} Video_TS and load it onto handbrake then select the ipod low rez or high rez on the right panel and run it.
I recently purchased the 80gb version of the classic to integrate into my car audio system. Needless to say, it was a waste of money! My Alpine head unit, nor any of Alpines current accessories will support the video from the Classic, and unlike my other ipod, I cant even control the audio from it via the head unit. Does anyone know of an accessory that will make the Classic work with the IVA series of head units?
I got an 80 gig ipod classic around Christmas, and it begain to freeze up so i exchanged it for another. The current one that I have just did the same thing. It’s really, very aggravating, and I would appreciate it if someone could share some advice on how to prevent it from doing so.
i have an ipod classic and i just updated its firmware yesterday to the latest which is 1.1 and after that my ipod is acting up already. after i shut off my ipod i hear this noise. any fix for this? thanks.
If you want a good converter I recommend you check out this site: http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/. You can also convert Youtube videos to Mpeg-4 form. And it’s totally free! :D
not being able to external video is bs
i most bought my 160 to cram videos on it and play on a tv or my portabble philips dvd/ipod player
cant wait for the crack F you apple you should be ashamed
hope zune kills ya
