Excellent.

The device itself is simply excellent. It's working very good for me for more than a year now. Only one of the earphones had some noise. The rest is just fine.

Apple iPod 80GB 2008-02-25
Great product but there are a few glitches if you are not carefull.
I have not bought any songs, I downloaded all my own CD's using my Windows XP computer.
I soon realized I needed to move my itunes library to an external drive to free up the space on my c:drive.
Now if I try to use my song library I get error message "files not found do you want to search" If I search I can find the song in Windows but have to find each song individually, I can then add it to the library at the new drive location.
I have 2600 songs I burned from my CD collection and I have now started this time consuming task to be able to use my itunes library.
Meanwhile I cannot attach my iPod to the computer as I am told this will clear the iPod drive.
So if you buy this great item be careful if you need to move your songs to another drive or computer. There is a way to do it, but it is not the most obvious way.
Ipod good, technical support a slight chaleenge 2008-01-08
The product arrived fast and in excellent condition. There was not a CD but rather an Apple website to download newest itunes version. It would not load on Windows 2000 but required XP and Apple referred us to tech support where we purchased item. Eventually I used another computer with XP.
Apple IPod Video Player(Black 5.5 Generation) 2007-12-28
This IPod is great! Very customer friendly. Easy to sync, easy to load, easy to use.
The sound quality is AMAZING, however, I do not personally care for the earbuds that come with it. They are too big and do not stay secure in my ears, so I will be purchasing some other kind in the near future.
I purchased a refurbished model of this IPod and found the description to be very honest and detailed.
The only thing that wasn't mentioned was that there were quite a few tiny scratches(from previous usage) on the back of the casing. Otherwise it was in perfect conditon and packaged nicely.
Thank you, Amazon for a terrific buying experience! I will not hesitate to do further business with you in the future!!!
This is the good one! 2007-12-24

80GB iPod is worth your money 2007-12-15
I purchased mine over a year ago and have been quite happy with it. It has never stopped working or anything just stores my music and videos perfectly. Maybe people should invest in a good cover for theirs though. I have a nice hard see through plastic one that has protected my ipod since i got it.
Who are they kidding?

This has got to be a JOKE. As has been stated below, the pricing for this item is preposterous. I came here to buy the 5.5-gen iPod since I read many, many reviews branding the new Classic line an afterthought at best. How is it that this 5.5-gen product costs OVER $200 more than the most updated iPod out there? Give me a break, Amazon.
Ipod 80 gb.

Unfortunately the battery would not hold a charge. But the retun service was excellent. No hassles and the refund was made immediately upon receipt of the returned Ipod. I would use this company again.
Great for Audio (when not frozen), TERRIBLE FOR VIDEO 2007-11-28
I have the 80gb Generation 5.5 iPod with video. I have had it for about a month now, & every time I have ever tried to play a video it would play for about a second, then get corrupted & freeze. When I go "back", trying to get to the menu, the entire iPod then FREEZES & no matter what you do it is completely unresolvably FROZEN until it runs out of juice and you plug it in to recharge it. This is pretty awful, since this is undoubtedly shortening the life of the battery considerably. Worse than that, the only fix anyone online has had for me so far was "Wait until the battery dies and then recharge it & it'll be fine", which I was - you can imagine - less than pleased with hearing, since I'd figured that much out frustratingly on my own. There has to be a better answer than that, or I'm going to feel pretty ripped off.
