Since I bought it, I plugged it into my IPOD connector in the car and it stay in the glove box until it stopped working. Apple would not take it back saying that it was dropped or otherwise shaken severely. Don't buy one, stick to the generic cheaper MP3 players, or go with a more expensive one that has the solid state HDD. So unless riding in the car shakes these things too much for the hard drive, they are crap. I purchased this IPOD and in less than a week the hard drive in it started making noises and quit working.
I have 6070+ songs and it plays during my morning commute. And I might take it on a bike ride sometime too. Get one , get one, get one like me. LOL I won't eveen take it out. xfered data quickly not like the used one i bought from someone else on Amazon.
Just leave it on shuffle and be surprised. My riders love it and it's the best way to go if you want to carry you whole library. Plugged it into my Pioneer head unit Avic-z3 and played right away from my touch screen. between this and sirius I am all set for any road trip. Refurb is the way to go.
For people who can afford repaired about every one or two years, this is an amazing mp3 player. One of the only regrets I have regarding this device is the tendency to break down as i have gone through three. For people like me who have lots of media and want it when and where ever they are, the Ipod Classic 160 Gigabyte is an awesome device.
They reformatted for me, but it still wouldn't work. I took the unit down to my local Apple store, waited in line for about 1 hour and was told that the hard drive was defective. However, it wouldn't sync to any library in excess of 150 songs. I don't believe this unit was adequately tested by them (there was 1 song on the drive, which is not much of a test), otherwise they would have caught the problem.Although Coral Reef took the unit back (and refunded the purchase amount) without giving me a hard time, I would be very careful what you buy 'used' from them. At my expense, I sent the unit back to Coral Reef Electronics. For a used Ipod, this one was in fairly good looking condition.
I was walking in the rain to class and it must have gotten soaked through my jean pockets. After I was finished using it, I put it away and left it alone. I would rotate the dial to select another artist and nothing would happen. It would be a good program but the music sounds awful when I play it on my computer (I generally use Windows Media Player if I'm listening to music on my computer).
When it worked, it was good MP3 player. This wasn't the only issue I've had with that iPod either. It will be nice to get a reliable MP3 player that doesn't require me to run use iTunes as well.In the end, I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on an iPod. My second and last iPod (or Apple product for that matter) broke when the it's drive was damaged. Prior to the driver breaking, the rotating dial often wouldn't work. When I went to use it the next day, it took a couple of minutes for the songs to start playing. I don't know how it got water inside of it.
The day before, the iPod was working. I took it to an Apple store and they said that the driver was broken and would need to be replaced. I have had two iPod Classics and have had trouble with both. It would also change songs without me pressing any of the buttons (the hold was also even on). Additionally, I'm not a fan of iTunes.
It would eventually start working again (sometimes requiring a reset) but it was always a pain to deal with. I decided that it wasn't worth the time or the money (even if it was a cheap repair) to fix a product that was going to crap out for no apparent reason. I would understand this happening if the glass was cracked and there was some way for water to get in but there were no visible cracks or damage on the machine. However, the trouble I've had with them don't make them worth the price. The first iPod broke due because water got into the machine.
