 Won't work on W2K September 22, 2007
13 out of 26 found this review helpful
Amazon should put "WON'T WORK WITH W2K" in bold type beneath this product. Finally got the great looking new iPod only to find I really have a $350 paperweight. Had NO idea that Apple has totally removed the capability to run on W2K until I tried to install the software (Amazon, you should have put a warning somewhere). Spent several hours searching forums and looking for 3rd party SW to make it work but found nothing. I have way too much $ invested in SW that will not run under XP to switch operating systems. Apple, gotta give you credit, you can shoot yourselves in the foot better than any company I know of (except maybe Microsoft). Don't need to worry about the competition, you can lose customers all by yourself.
Beware J&R for purchases September 22, 2007
14 out of 30 found this review helpful
I had no idea there were different generations of the 80GB ipod, and J&R saw an opportunity to dump old inventory. My wife originally ordered the 30GB ipod from J&R through Amazon back in August. After much delay on the order, she called for an update on Sept 8. She was told by their sales person that the black was out of stock and so she asked if there was something comparable. He said he had an 80GB he could send for the same price ($249) - sounded to my like it was the new ipod.
That arrived in the mail the second week of September. Today, I walked into Circuit City to buy her the same 80GB ipod. I spent the same $249. I was shocked to see that the one I just bought is much thinner, lighter, the graphics are more advanced, and there are more games on it. It's a totally different ipod.
J&R did not inform my wife as to what they were selling her. They tricked her into thinking she was getting 80GB for the price of a 30GB when they actually sent her one of two (older gen) ipods they had lying around in stock, just when the NEW 80GB's hit the stores and the 30GB's were being discounted. The one they sent her is white with a gray dial, not silver with a white dial.
The ipod's themselves are wonderful, but beware what you're getting for the price when buying anything from J&R. They mislead and mis-inform people.
don't buy the 6th gen ipods...read why September 22, 2007

Apple is pulling a clasiic Microsoft tactic here by making the 6th gen ipods NOT backward compatible for no apparent reason other than to force you to pay more to upgrade your OS and docking stations / cables. Plus, the 5.5 gen is faster, and better assembled. From what I am reading here, alot of others are saying the same thing.
Don't buy this item. Buy a 5.5 gen instead.
 On it's way back to Apple September 22, 2007

Received on 9/13, no problem loading my itunes to the ipod classic. Used once. Attempted to sync to update and received the big red x and a web address for Apple customer service. Followed the trouble shooting tips on the apple support. Still not working. Called their customer service talked to a couple of guys there. They finally decided that it needed to come back and they're going to send me a different one. Three stars at this point because Apple appears to be handling this. The customer support appears to be there. Ask me again in three weeks.

I have been a PC guy for most of my computing life and recently switched to a Mac. I bought the Classic when it became available and am amazed at its ease of use, user friendly interface, capacity and most of all the quality of the sound that it plays. I am very picky about my music and until I bought the Classic I thought my Zen was a good player. This player puts the Zen to shame! It works seamlessly with Itunes and is all in all a great player. The only thing that I can negatively say about it is that when switching between playlists/songs etc there is a lag of a few seconds that takes a bit of getting used to but I guess thats the difference between flash memory and a hard drive. Other than that little quibble, the Classic is the way to go if you have a pretty good sized music collection. Set up was a snap and there were no issues with the OS. Another winner from Apple!
