I gave my son this ipod for christmas and he was overjoyed. We have both had fun learning how to make this work. It took some doing, although I like to try without reading directions! Silly me. We figured it out and he now has a bunch of songs to listen to.

I received my iPod classic as a gift. This is my 5th iPod and I had high hopes. After a few days my reaction is mixed.
Sound Quality
-) My 60 GB iPod with Video had much better sound quality than this version. I listened to both with my Bose QC-3 headphones, a pair of Bose earbuds and a pair of regular earbuds. I had someone hold the iPods out of sight so I coudln't tell which I was listening to during my "blind" test. The sound quality on the new iPod Classic is a bit muddy. That's the best description I can come up with for the sound. It wasn't so bad the new iPod should be returned but there was a difference that I couldn't describe as a good thing.
I could hear less of a difference in quality between the two devices on the standard iPod headphones. Since my other headphones are both mady by Bose, it is possible that there is some problem with the Classic and those headphones. I listened to both in my car, which also has Bose speakers. The sound was different but not as different as it seemed via the headphones. Nevertheless, try it (with your headphones) before you buy it. Sound quality is very subjective and you may prefer the classic.
Interface
+) Cover Flow is really a nice feature. It makes me stop and listen to albums that I had forgotten about over the years as they get burried among all of the newer music. I have had no problems with freezing.
+) The ability to search is a wonderful improvement. I am not one of those people that knows every artist name, album name, or song name. It's nice to search on one word. The more ways the iPod can allow you to find what you want to hear the happier I am.
-) The click wheel on this version seems less sensitive. While it may give you more control, it isn't as smooth and easy-to-use as previous iPods.
+) The finish on this iPod (silver) doesn't show every finger print the way my 60 GB black video did. You'll still see every print on the back, but at least the front of the device isn't a mess the moment you pick it up.
Display
+) The display on this iPod is better than every other iPod I've owned. It's beautiful to look at and movies and music videos look great!!
All in all, I'm happy with the new iPod. However, if it wasn't a gift I would return it. There aren't enough improvements versus drawbacks for me to part with my 5th generation iPod. If you need something new because of a break or this is your first iPod, it's fine. If you have a working device that you love, don't rush out to buy this.
****Update March 2008****
The latest software update for the iPod (not iTunes) has really improved the sound quality. I don't notice the difference between the two models any longer and I'm very happy with the Classic at this point.
I didn't know how much I needed an Ipod until I got thissss! December 30, 2007

I put off purchasing an Ipod for a long time. I guess that since I had nothing to compare it to, I don't feel there is anything slow about my Ipod classic, as other reviewers have complained.
I love that you can "shuffle" your entire musical library and just let it play. I found it very easy to learn to use with one exception. Somehow I locked the volume lower than I want it to be, and can't figure out how to unlock it. It keeps asking for a password, which I must have entered by mistake somehow! I'll probably have to contact the company to figure out how to adjust my volume back up.
Other than that, I absolutely love not having to schlep CD's around with me. It' well worth the price for the convenience. If you are thinking of getting one, just do it!
