Which iPod is your ultimate favorite? How are the classics?

The classic 160GB. Huge capacity, great screen, easy to use. Wish is was available in other colors, but that's my only complaint. It's also quite a bit cheaper than the largest touch model, which can't touch it for capacity.

This was my favorite mp3 player, but the updates became obsolete, so I had to find a new one. Right now, I have the Sansa Clip+ 8 gb mp3 player and love it. It is not as glitzy as the ipods or even the E280, but it gets the job done -- that is if you only want to play music on it. Otherwise, you will have to find another player. I am not sure about the Macbook download issue, so I can't answer that part of the question. Sorry. Hope you find the answers you are seeking.

I used almost every ipod version made on mine up to the change in the plug to this new one....love that dang speaker....my daughter does to and forever borrowed it from me...classic worked fine as well...now i used it when it first came out...you may have differant firmware on it than i did...but this speaker is worth it to buy an older ipod to use....i took it around the world literally....rugged and best of all...batteries...no dang charging...i wish so bad they would make another model like this for the newest ipod touches...with a remote...that would be cherry.

I love it because its small and thin. Its completely touch screen. The thing is awesome! Plus its got 16GB of storage for all of my music. Its an awesome iPod. Full functions of a standard size one too. Hope this helps!

I would say the iPod classics. They have 160 GB of capacity and are only $249.00. It doesn't have a touch screen or anything fancy but it does hold up to 40,000 songs so if you want it to hold only music it can do a lot. You can watch videos and view photos on it too if you want, too. It has great sound quality, too. Here's a link. http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/ Hope this helps!

I got my classic ipod from my ex but I don't recall what year it was. The best suggestion I can give you is to check with the electronics department at Target, Fry's, or Best Buy. They might be able to help.

I would get an iPod classic, put all of your music on it and then get an iPod dock by Klipsch or Bose

Works beautifully with my iPod classic :) I have had multiple generations of the classic and it appears to work with each of them.

The iPod Touch 4 is horrible. It is RAM starved, chugs like mad and is very prone to crashing on even simple internet browsing.If you're really into this device line, I'd strongly recommend upgrading. I am a little disheartened by the specs for the new price, but if it runs in the general ballpark of the iPhone 4S, which it's borrowing parts from, then it'll be a giant improvement for you

I had a nano 2nd generation until recently when I upgraded to the classic 120. The nano and I had good times and I consireded keeping it for the gym and what not. BUt I love my music so much and my taste varies from hour to hour that I would rather keep the classic with me at all times with my entire music collection and create several playlists within it than keep my nano and not have everything I want at any given moment. So the nano will be inherited by my mom this Christmas. Yep, thats right, some seriously early "Christmas shopping" ;-)

Hey - I too am in Birgitta's position, trying to decide whether I should stick with iPods or go over to Zune. I currently own a iPod Mini and did not like how the battery went bad and now can only be played once before the iPod says that the battery is low and goes out. I am trying to decide whether to get a 80G Zune or an 80G iPod classic. My main question is - being an iPod owner, I have put so much time into my iTunes organizing it, putting in cover art, etc.If I was to buy a Zune, can I get everything out of the iTunes, including cover art?thanks

The iPod touch is DEFINATELY worth it, having owned many brands of music players, I have found that the iPod is in my opinion, the best one out there. Battery life is great, price is great, and capacity is great. Definately worth the money(:

I had a Ipod and also an 80 zune, I enjoyed my zune until it broke and i couldnt get it fix. ipod was ok, but zune is alittle better. i wish my zune didnt freakin break.

The 30 GB iPod is physically slimmer--a nice feature. It has identical function as the 60 GB and it is cheaper. It comes down to deciding how much of your music you need with you at any time--30 GB is a lot (enough to listen 24 hours a day for about 3 weeks before repeating). If you prefer to have your entire collection with you always and can't live without that, then choose the 60. Otherwise the 30 GB makes more sense.

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!
