The Apple iPod Classic is a very popular MP3/4 player. The ipod’s surface is made of anodized aluminium which gives it a very cool and almost timeless look. This material is virtually scratch resistance so it should make this iconic looking MP3 player look brand new for many years. However, you will need to take care of the screen because it is made from a type of plastic.
The sound quality of the Apple iPod Classic is perhaps not as good as some of the other high-end MP3/4 players on the market, but with the equalization presets that comes with the player and getting hold of a good pair of quality headphones, the Classic can compete. As well as MP3, the player supports other formats including AIFF, WAV and AAC.
Video playback and photo quality on the iPod is very good indeed. The 2.5 inch screen is of good quality which therefore makes the pictures appear quite clear. The video formats supported include H.264, MPEG-4 and MOV with resolution up to 640×480.
The battery life on the iPod Classic is one of the best of any multimedia player on the market. On the 80GB ipod Classic you will get up to 30 hours for music playback and up to 5 hours for video. On the 160GB version you will get around 40 hours for music playback and up to 7 hours for video.
Overall the is a very good multimedia player with plenty of features and with up to 160GB of storage it is hard to find another MP3/4 player that can compete with this amount of storage.
