Good price, long battery life, aluminum construction, scratch resistant screen, tons of disk space, small size.

I borrowed my friend's iPod and now I really don't want to give it back. It's great having all this music right at my fingertips all the time. Great product!

When you want just a player that holds a ton of everything....this is the way to go.

I have music, pictures, and movies on my iPod.
Why not the Touch? Because I get to hold more this way.
If I just need to have a player for an hour....I use my iPhone.

I'm jealous at my sister because she got the silver one which would match my Macbook Pro and Nokia N73 perfectly, but I'm stuck with a white 5G. :(

The iPod classic allows me to bring me with me all of my music and play it anywhere, including my car

Holds more than enough songs and the quality is amazing.
