Audiophile Seeks Music Vault
2010-07-28
Reviewer: Andrew Shold
I bought this item (Apple 120GB iPod) a little over a year ago. Shortly after, I got an iPhone (3Gs - 8GB). My plan was to make my 120GB iPod a miniature vault to carry around the 600+ CD's I've accumulated, plus a few photos and videos. The added games were a nice feature, too (though, iPhone/iPod Touch has far better ones).
The battery life was phenomenal. I could go days without charging.
Sound quality was good. I used it mostly in my car or when traveling, so the sound was typically limited to my headphones/speakers.
It was tough to watch movies or play games, as the screen size was relatively small (I do have an iPhone, mind you) and the wheel was kind of touchy for any games.
I also got accessories to make this thing a tank. I wanted it to survive an apocalypse, so I'd still have my whole collection of music wherever I go. I also have at least 3 backups of my music collection (what can I say, I'm an audiophile!). This is where it failed, however. I recently had this in my back pocket and was listening to music on headphones while doing yardwork, and managed to catch the headphone cable on my elbow and send the sucker spiraling out towards a slab of concrete.
I thought I was lucky, and my accessories had paid off. It worked for roughly another day and a half. Then, it abruptly stopped, and gave me the red "X". [...]
After trying multiple times to get it to go to disk mode & recover...well...it flatlined. Since I'm over a year out (by 4 months), my warranty seems to have expired. So I'd recommend the warranty, first off. Hindsight is 20/20, right?
The nearest Apple store is a ways away, so I opted to have it sent in for repair/service. It was ~$160 upfront just to send it in for repairs. For a measly $60 more, I can just get the *NEWEST* generation @ 160GB.
Like I said, I have the iPod backed up on at least 3 different hard drives (computer & external HD's), so I'm not upset about the loss of music/etc. It just seems like this is a disposable unit, at a ~$200 annual fee.
I'm going to try stopping by an Apple store next time I'm near one, but otherwise, I'll just wait a few years and see if something better comes along (which, I'm guessing will cost roughly ~$220.00 for the "next best thing").
I don't see the sense in spending $160.00 to fix an old unit, nor buying a new unit at $220 (the cost of a 7th Gen right now...which was the cost of my 6th Gen a year ago).
I just hope Apple stops painting themselves into a corner (I mean really, my AT&T coverage leaves a bit to be desired, and their "trade secret" approach to all things Apple leaves a gaping hole for Google, et al, to fill). I'm now on the hunt for a massive storage & portable MP3 player that will survive ad eternum...or at least 3-4 years.
Oh, and my many efforts with Windows based MP3 players have been no better - Apple has that cornered on behalf of software & compatibility. At least with iTunes, I'm not losing my music files due to DRM corruption.
I want my money back!

i was very happy with this purchase. I bought this for my brother on his birthday and he was very happy. He hated carrying all his cds with him all the time and it was a great solution. Its a great buy if you have a lot of music and its picture quality is great
The iPod classic rocks

Reviewer: James R. Day
I don't know how much bigger anyone would want to go with this baby. I have 20,000+ songs and lots of movies and clips on it and still have room. When it is hooked to an amplifier like one would do with a CD player, the sound is nothing short of symphonic.
The only problem I see is that it has an actual hard drive inside it, so if you drop it...well...too bad. With that said I did drop it once and only dinged the corner. I've been using one for four years now and so far (knock on wood) no problems.
The only thing that irritated me when I got it was it connects to the TV with a different cable than my previous one. I can just hear them in their board meeting trying to decide how to squeeze another $34 out of the deal. The old cable is now in my ever-growning junk connector box never to be used again.
The iPod though, is great!
