With enough room for your favorite music and video, this iPod has both sound and vision. It also boasts up to 20 hours of battery life, a generous 80GB of storage, a great personality (intuitive, customizable menus), and easy navigation via the Click Wheel. In other words, iPod makes an ideal companion. Finding and playing music on iPod is simple. Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, or browse the Music menu by artist, composer, album, song, genre, or playlist. To mix things up click Shuffle Songs. Also, Album art appears alongside your songs in the Now Playing screen, so you see your music as you play it. The iPod lets you watch movies, music videos, tv shows, and video podcasts. The iPods display is 60% brighter than previous versions. And thanks to improved video playback time, iPod keeps you entertained for up to 6.5 hours even longer if you reduce brightness using the new brightness control. iPod holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows complete with music on iPod or on a TV via the optional iPod AV Cable.

User Comments about the Apple 80 GB iPod AAC/MP3 Video Player Black (5.5 Generation)

thank you again I have had no problems with it at all. I appreciate you sending it so quick, battery life survived a 10 and a half hour flight without dying.



Great unit. Battery life doesn't matter to me because my car keeps it charged. This unit was for my car and it is crystal clear compared to a 6th of 7th generation. But that's ok.80 is working out just fine. Too bad Apple had to change the chip since 160 gigs would have been fun. I had ordered the newest Ipod until I started doing some research and found that after the 5.5 generation the sound chip was changed.



what a joke. Why would anyone pay $429 for an 80gb machine when you can buy a brand new 160gb from apple, with a manufacturer's warranty. This is amazing.



Apple's current iPod Classic carries 160GB of storage, with the upgrade from Apricorn you can turn your 5th Gen 30GB iPod into a 120GB beauty and Apricorn throws in a new 580mAH battery with the hard drive along with all the direction and the tools you'll need to do the job yourself. Read on and see why.I was cruising Amazon, checking out small hard drives, as I wanted to carry all my music around with me. However, I clicked on over to their website and I found something much better than an external drive. It's a great little gizmo. It took me twenty minutes, it's easier than you'd think.


I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone, but if you want more, well you can have it. So, how hard is the upgrade to do. It's not that hard.But what if you've got a 5th Gen 60 or 80GB iPod. I somehow wound up the page for the Apricorn Bio Hard Drive, a beautiful little beauty, to be sure, but I don't really need to protect my music from prying eyes, or ears for that matter.


Who wouldn't be. Or if you have an iPhone and you need a second device to carry around your music, then I'd heartedly recommend a 5th Gen iPod. Well for over half a C note less than what a new iPod Classic costs, you can upgrade the iPod you have with 240GB of storage, yeah, 240 gigs, that's a lot of music. Okay, so you're thinking of buying an iPod.


I found their upgrade kit for the 5th Generation iPods and I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.If you've got either the 5th Generation 30GB, the 60GB or the 80GB you are in luck, because not only do you have one great machine, but you can make it outstanding. It's easy enough to sink it with iTunes and change the music on it. And you get a new battery with this upgrade, too. Yeah, you don't have to send your machine to Apple to replace that battery.


You can do a lot with it, surf the web, play Tetris, learn Japanese, do e-mail, play music and so much more, but if you're like me and have more music than you can shake a stick and you want to carry it with you wherever you go, then the iPod Touch just might not cut the mustard, storage wise.If it's just music or videos you want an iPod for. Once finished, hook the iPod up to you're computer and let iTunes do it's magic and you're good to go.The 5th Gen iPod is a solid music player even without upgrading. You've seen the iPod Touch and you've been blown away.


Apple changed the sound components to an inferior brand and clearly degraded the sound quality. is much easier to navigate.If you are looking for an iPod and need 80GB or less, this is the best choice for your money. In addition, the scroll wheel on the 5.5 Gen. The 5.5 Generation iPod sounds better than the iPod Classics.
