Say you're listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. With a few clicks, the Genius feature finds the songs in your library that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. You can listen to the playlist right away, save it for later, or even refresh it and give it another go. Count on Genius to create a mix you wouldn't have thought of yourself.

With 160GB of space, iPod classic means you can always have your entire music and movie library with you. Carry it from the living room to a party in the backyard. Or take it on a cross-country road trip and never listen to the same song twice.

Click to Enjoy
Finding exactly what you want to watch or listen to is easy. Use the Click Wheel to browse by album art with Cover Flow or navigate your songs and videos by playlist, artist, album, genre, and more. You can also search for specific titles and artists. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs for a different experience every time.

Watch Movies and TV Shows

Mi purchase Experience - iPod Classic - a better design than iPod Touch
The first iPod I bought thru Amazon was defective. The central main dial was loose and separated from the body of the item. (See photo) Then the central button fell off thru the back of the dial!!! I was shocked because it is an APPLE product. I returned the item and got a replacement which so far has been working perfectly normally. I love the classic iPods. I originally bought an iPod Touch to replace my old classic which finally stopped working. It was just a phone with lots of space for music-when I listened to a song and tried to return it to a certain spot in the song, it was very difficult to do that. With the Classic iPods it is easy and exact. The dial system is a great design and a wonderful way to move thru the many lists of music,etc. to find what one is looking for.
