- Apple iPod classic 80 GB Black (6th Generation) I am pleased with the look and sound of the ipod. Overall it is pretty good.

I bought brand-new ipod so I am disappointed that this ipod isn't 100%.

This is the real deal breaker for me: Unlike iTunes, when browsing a playlist on the iPod, you can ONLY view by songs (iTunes allows you to browse each ... Read More
