Cover Flow
If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod classic, you can flip through your music to find the album you want to hear. Use the Click Wheel to browse music by album cover, then select an album to flip it over and see the track list.

Music
Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, browse in Cover Flow, or explore the Music menu by playlist, artist, album, song, genre, composer, and more. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod classic makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright, color display.

Movies
Buy movies from the iTunes Store and you can sync them to your iPod classic to watch anywhere, anytime. The gorgeous 2.5-inch display makes your movies pop. And iPod classic keeps you entertained for up to 7 hours. Long flight or darkened room? Adjust the brightness for even more video playback time.

Games
Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod classic comes with three games — Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display.

Audiobooks
The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks — including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series — so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod classic takes you. iPod classic recognizes where you left off and bookmarks your place. You can even adjust the reading speed to suit you.

Photos
iPod classic holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows — complete with music and transitions — on iPod classic or on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.

Search
With up to 40,000 songs on your iPod classic, you need an easy way to search your collection. A built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you`re looking for. iPod classic returns results instantly as you select letters.

Extras
Calendars, contacts, and a clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the screen lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod classic from prying eyes. If you forget your combination, just reset when you sync. Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.

Black Apple iPod 80gb Classic

"I have approximately 20 gigs of content I wanted to load onto an iPod and the classic was my choice. I am extremely happy with. Pros - The battery life, as far as I can currently tell, is excellent giving me about 6 or 7 hours for video and around 30 or so for music. It's an exceptional amount of battery life. The next big thing is the space. 80gb is a VERY large amount and I don't plan on running out. It's g..." Read Full Review »

"I love my new iPod, but setting it up caused a MAJOR headache... I had been managing my music library in iTunes on a Windows 2000 machine for several years without ever owning an iPod.

I tried upgrading my iTunes and found that the version I need to sync my iPod with requires upgrading my OS to at le..." Read Full Review »

"I purchased the iPod classic 80 GB. The iPod classic has sufficient space for my needs and I don't think the extra 80 GB for the 160 is worth the $100 price differential. The iPod is great to use while commuting, exercising, resting and walking. It is easier to use than older models and it truly …"  Read Full Review »
