Apple iPod 5th Generation Black (80 GB) MP3 Player

I purchased this Ipod and within 1 month it wouldn't hold a charge. I could listen to 2-3 songs and the battery would die. I thought no problem because I could replace the battery but when I found out how expensive they were I was FURIOUS!!!! A battery shouldn't cost around $65.00 or more! The Ipod was brand new and sealed but I have to say I am very dissapointed and disgusted with the whole deal! I am basically out of $350.00.

I wouldn't know because I never received the item,I paid by personal check and the seller is no longer a registered user and feel like I have got no help from ebay! I will never purchase item again that does not accept pay pal.

Absolutely perfect seller! Shipped imediately with no hassle. Product was exactly what I was looking for. A+++

So far my only gripe with my iPod video is the lag between pressing the skip button to the actual playback of the song. Other wise this is a great player and if you want the room get the 80 GB. Couldn't yet get the video out to work though - I think I need the proper cable.

I purchased this item because it was stated to be like new, in excellent working condition with but a few minor scratches on it. When it arrived, it was not the same one. This one was sealed from the factory, no scratches, but defective in that there was no "Music" on the meno,so no way to access the albums, playlist, artists or any other items on the Music menu. Music can be downloaded onto it, and it plays of its own accord, just no way to access or control what you want to hear. Also, about every 20 to 30 songs, it quits in the middle of a song and goes to another.

I enjoy the flexibility of video and audio file access and usage. The product came new in the box with all the included accessories. Price and delivery were quite good as well.

well I have a couple of ipods, I like to have one just to bring out to boring events to watch videos and look at family photos. I have another ipod with just everything on it music of all kinds and stuff i don't even use much at all, plus that screen is pretty scratched up and I could not even see the screen too well to watch videos anyway. The other ipod I have is used just at parties with a lot of adult aged party music on it and nothing too wild at all; so i realy recomend getting a coupleof ipods if you have the means.

Once you get to know all the software for copying your audio and video onto this tiny entertainment machine it will become a necessity. I'm a huge music fan and have about 12,000 songs on this machine, but further to that i have many hours of video. Of course, the battery runs down much quicker with video (still get about 4 - 6 hours of video use!) it's excellent for travel. For international charging i purchased a charger/player, so i can listen via speakers while the ipod is charging.
My only problem with this machine is that it occasionally seizes and needs one of those two button resets (i can never remember which two buttons and just try them til i get it right) but it's always back to normal after that.

Largest iPod that rockbox can be installed on. Unfortunately, Rockbox still can't be put on classics, which makes this iPod the best one out there, in my opinion. Once rockbox comes out with firmware for the classics, i might buy one of those, but for now, the 5th gen 80gig is a solid choice. Sorry apple but your software sucks. Thanks for the iPod though!

If you are going to purchase an iPod, think about WHY - because you can't add storage space (or memory) AND the battery is not easily replaceable, AND if you aren't careful you can 'accidentally delete' everything on it when plugging it into a computer!

When they work good, they are great, once setup - and once you get everything you want on it... so long as the battery remains in good shape.

Personally, I think the RCA Lyra and Audiovox Video are better units - but bigger (and more flexible).

If you have more than one to manage - turn them to 'hard drive' mode, and all 'auto-sync'ing' off... it took me a while to figure that one out. Unfortunately, with 8 kids wanting and using "what's normal" in school, Apples marketing has done better than technical sense and logic. If the battery was more easily changeable, and one computer could more readily handle multiple units out of the gate (upon initial plug in - verses having to change the settings for that) then there would be no need for any other type of MP3 (or MP4) player.

Think about how you are planning to use it - how often & for how long - and what you'll do if you can't get to a plug in or USB port (like international travel, camping trips, etc.).

There are some awesome add-on's for the iPods... and personally, I wouldn't mess with anything less than a 30gig unit... 60, 80, and 160's offer even more backup and storage ability, so long as that battery continues working well.

Hope this helps.

This product was everything I thought it would be no surprises and the seller was great also. I bought it for my girlfriend to replae her other one and it worked out great

I really like this item. It works perfectly and it barely has a scratch on it. I decided to buy it because I have a lot of music on my iTunes and my old iPod won't hold everything. Plus I am able to put videos on the 5G as well. This is one of the items that I don't regret using the money on.

Holds a ton of music
great item to have
I bought this item because of the sound quality and the capacity to hold so much music

the product was exactly what i asked for and the seller gave me all the info and pictures that secured my purchase! great seller..

Works perfectly, GREAT price!, delivered in a timely manner (though I was in no rush). Slight spec on video screen (no pixels), but easy to live with.

Likes: Color screen, video playback capability, pretty good battery life, durable even though it has moving parts, looks great!

Dislikes: Limited number of codecs it can handle. It is an Apple product so I'm happy it can play more than just Apple music/video file types.

While I actually wanted a nano because of the solid state harddrive, Apple doesn't yet make a big enough one at a decent price. 80 gigs for 80 bucks? You cannot pass that up! Mine has a few scratches on it, but nothing deep! It is completely functional too! If you are looking for a music player with a good size at a great price, look no further! Well, either this generation or 6th, either one!

I`am extreamly satisfied with the Ipod and would love to have a oppertunity to buy one like this for the same amount and the ease. I would love to have this luck contin. The more I buy the more I trust the system,i`am very satisfied with the product and the description given.

Item didn't work. Evetually I got a refund through Paypal, but I had to pay return shipping. I've learned to buy such items new and spend the extra money.
I don't think seller did this intentionally, though.

The ipod was in great condition, it came with the cable and the owner left alot of great music on there too. I am very satisfied with it.

my son was looking for an ipod to listen to and to download his pic. and videos. ipod video is the best for the money and its the rite size and wieght for his hands . the ipod touch seems to have a problem with people dropping them and breaking the lcd . then again it all depends on your needs and how much you are willing to spend . my resaerch led me to the video 5.5 gen. he loves it and claims its easy to use so far no complaints

to be able to have all my music in one place that is portable and easy to use! who could ask for more!

Great new ebay seller. Everything was as described. Super fast shipping. Highly recommended!
