Apple iPod classic 5th Generation Black (60 GB) MP3 Player

No, I don't mean the Nano. Compared to my old entertainment center, my shiny black 5th generation 60gb iPod is tiny.

I bought the iPod for myself for Christmas in order to save my husband the trouble of shopping. It was a brilliant idea. After ripping all my CDs as well as music from several different home computers to the iPod, I wrapped it up and put it under the Christmas tree.

After putting all the music I own onto my iPod, I still had some 54gb of space remaining free. For a brief period of time,a minute or two, I wondered if I had gone overboard getting the 60gb iPod rather than one of the smaller, less expensive ones available. But then I recalled how back in 1994 I believed I would never need more than an 8mb hard drive. Besides that, the 60gb didn't seem all that more expensive than the 30gb for twice the space.

Perhaps the only downside of owning an iPod is that you don't have any choice about where to purchase your music on the internet. To do it legally, you have to purchase music from Apple's iTunes.

I checked out iTunes and found it cost $1.99 for a single song download and I thought that was a little extravagant. After all, most of the music that I want is music I first paid for back in the 60s and 70s; first on vinyl albums, later on 8 tracks, then cassette tapes and finally compact discs. When would I have the right to listen to the music I'd been buying since childhood? For example, I first purchased the song, "Scarborough Fair" by Simon & Garfunkel back in 1968 on a 45 single vinyl. Just a couple of years later I bought it again when I purchased the album. Then in the late 1970s I found myself buying the song yet again, this time on a cassette tape recording. In the 1980s I bought it yet again in the form of a CD. And now in the next century, to download it from Apple's iTunes, it would cost me $1.99.

While I was exploring iTunes, I discovered the podcast. Podcasts are audio recordings that are, for the most part, free for download. They come from individuals as well as public broadcasting in both the U.S. and the U.K. I downloaded a few podcasts from the BBC as well as NPR.

When my husband, the genuis who had given me the iPod for Christmas, went out of town for a week, I was running our eBay business on my own. We ship out 60 or so packages a week so I stayed fairly busy. The most tedious part of the business is the wrapping of packages for shipping. I took my iPod out to the mail room (fancy name for our backporch) with me to work. While I was wrapping packages to send through the mail, I listened to free podcasts and the time zipped by. I became addicted to the podcast.

When iTunes started offering television programs for $1.99, I wondered why anyone would pay to watch a tv show they could see for free just by watching tv. But then I missed two episodes of "Desperate Housewives" in a row and found out I could download them to my iPod. The clarity of the video is much better than any I've seen anywhere else, including high definition televisions and movie screens.

There are video podcasts that you can download to your iPod for free and some of them are rather entertaining. I use my iPod just about every day and both audio and video are top notch.

There are a few things I would love to see Apple bring to the iPod interface. I would love to be able to manipulate folders on my iPod without having to hook it up to my computer.

I give the iPod an excellent

Everything was as advertised. The seller communicated better than any other seller I've bought from. Very helpful and honest. Wish all transactions were like this.

I think the problem I find with this is the bulky size...but it would be perfect for a guy. I think I will be giving this to my b/f instead. Other than that this is an excellent source for music

Fantastic Just as decreibed! Exactly what i was looking for. Fast shipping and excellent service. I would use you again.

This is a great product! But it can be expensive! I'm glad I found www.freeiphoneforme.co.uk where I got mine for free :)

All I did was sign up and then completed ONE offer. I recommend the Seattle Coffee offer free trial as it only takes a few minutes to complete!

My personal recommendation is the King.com offer as it is quick, easy and only costs $5.

There are many other gadgets I got for free this way, such as consoles, iPhones, iPods, Plasma TV's and the list goes on and on.

Great! I love it But the headphones SUCK! Its really nice to hace your entire music library in your pocket. Its great.

This used 60gb iPod came just as described- works perfectly with some minor signs of use. It also came with plenty of extras including three different cases, nice set of Sony headphones, and plenty of loaded music. This was a gift for my wife and she was very pleased. The listing information was very accurate and the seller was responsive and polite. The final purchase price was lower than other iPods I had been watching and had bid on so I feel I got a good bargain. Shipping was reasonable and fast. It was a great buying experience.

Well I really didn't mean to buy a broken one. I want a working one because I loved my ipod before it broke. Now I'm reselling them both on here. iopd is great, but only when it functions.

item was opened before & missing some parts although it was not described in the listing. communication from seller was nothing no information about shipping etc.
seller also nor professional

I decided to buy this Ipod because it was completely refurbished and they were asking a reasonable price for it. It works great and I love it.

The pictures where very misleading they didn't show the complete damage to the Ipod and when i got it it was open on the sides and it would not close i had to buy a whole new cover when initially in the add all it said i would have to do was replace the hold button. The ipod works great now but the pictures should have been more truthful because if the were i would have never purchased it.

This was a negative experience.

The seller described the ipod as having facial scratches, but fully operational.

I received the ipod in an envelope wrappped in tissue. On the day that I received the unit, I downloaded music to the device. However, the ipod only produces sound for 1 speaker (left side)and the output out of the single speaker is not constant.

I tested the unit on several pair of ear phones and automobiles and it did not work properly (sound output for both speakers or a continuous level of output quality out of the single working speaker)with any unit.

I tested other ipods (shuffler, 2gb & 8gb) and all other devices worked fine with the earphones, speakers and automobiles tested. This was to verify that there was not an issue with the equipment being used with the 60gb ipod.

I immediately contacted the seller via messaging for a refund on the basis that this was a misrepresented item; however, the seller refused then cut off communication.

I filed a complaint with paypal. They launched an investigation then refunded my money on the basis that the seller did not respond to them either.

The broken item is still in my possession. No instruction has been provided to me on what to do with that unit.

I would have liked to know more about the condition in the description about item. The face is scratched up bad and i paid too much for the item!

Très satisfait le ipod était exactement dans l'état qu'il l'avais descrit,et j'ai réussi a le déplanter.Donc ca me fait n bon ipod pour 30$ :-)

I love this ipod so much movies when ever i want them not to mention all the music it holds. Dont settle for the cheap a$$ imitations other companies are coming out with. Stick with the ipod video and you won't be sorry! =0)

The iPod purchased was non-functional 2 weeks after receipt. It needs repairs ($140) and/or needs replaced already. This is terrible, I'll never purchase from this seller again.

Prompt delivery....... The item is in the extact conditon as advertised. I would buy any items he has for sale with no problem....

good product. it was cheap that was what i was looking for. just when i put headphones in it only one of my headphones side works. i used many differant types to see if it was the headphones.

Everything went smoothly. I received the product as advertised, it worked, I have nothing to complain about. I would definitely buy again.

this experience made me realize that you should always research the product that you think you r buying. the product was very good, just not what I thought I was getting.

What a great ipod. Plus, I always feel good buying apple, they take care of and stand behind their products.
