Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in iPods & MP3 Players
I bought this because I had always wanted an iPod Classic model, and now that I have one, I use it more than my fifth generation iPod Touch! I bought a leather case for it, and I love how easy it is to use! I even bought another charging cable for travel, and I am now searching for a 30-pin Bluetooth transmitter and receiver for it. I have a lot of audiobooks via Audible, but cannot play them because Audible no longer supports the .AAX file type. (That's okay, since I have my phone, laptop, and tablet for them.) Even seeing new albums and songs on the display is refreshing. This is one of the best investments I have ever made, and I hope this will serve me for years to come.

It works fine for what I need, it's just staying in my car hooked up via usb. However, the battery life lasts all of one hour before it shuts down, so I can't use it without it being plugged in. Not worth the $50.

in this review, i'll be comparing the ipod classic 5.5 generation & Sony walkman nwz s-series. THE iPod looks great, the design is also pretty astonishing, but its so heavy, u dont wanna carry it that much, the sony walkman s series is amazingly light & more hi-tech than the ipod, there is a drawback on the sony walkman & that is it has 8 or 16gb whereas ipod classic 5th gen has 30-80gb, which is gigantic. THE SOUND QUALITY, I'm so disappointed when i heard the sound from the ipod with the equalizer bass booster, if u use the sony walkman s series the experience is way much better the bass is DAMN GREAT!!! ON the sony u get so many features bluetooth, sensme channel, shuffle, voice recorder, karaoke, video, custom equalizer, speed control, IT HAS SPEAKERS, the alarm works unlike the ipod, podcasts, playlists, bookmark, second repeater, lyrics, ETC.Read full review
The 30 GB video iPod is one of Apple's greatest. The 5th generation iPod is the first video iPod, and also one of the first to be offered in black. The first, of course, was the U2 iPod. There are not many drawbacks with the video iPod, except the storage capacity and battery life. If you truly want to use this as your digital media player for all music and TV shows and now movies that you own, 30 GB is not enough. Apple has released a 160 GB version, but soon that isn't a lot of space enough either. As for the battery life, it would be nice to be able to go on a long plane ride or week vacation and watch several movies without having to charge the battery. PROS: Great small size, easy to use interface, bright display CONS: battery life, small HD size, not wide screen or touchscreen For the complete tech specs of this iPod, click the 'Product Details' tab and read the product description.

First i want to start by saying i love ipods and will always own one! I just purchased the 5G video ipod and i like it cause of the 30G hard drive but the battery life is horriable, just listening to songs it will run out of battery after 4-5 hours! Im used to my nano that will last 24-32 hours and it plays videos!! Well my conclusion is that i like the 5G video ipod for its memory,color, and playback features. I would honestly recommend getting a different ipod with better battery and one that has the "cover-flow" option!
