Review:

Apple have very nearly perfected the Ipod now. I recently got an 80Gb Classic and have been blown away by new menus and its interface with my computer. It took me about 10 minutes to load 2000 songs onto it and about 5 minutes to load 14 hours of video. The menus have been designed around the old 5th generation Ipods but have been revamped and modernized and have your cover art floating around in the background which is a nice aesthetic touch. The one thing everyone seems to be raving about with this new Ipod is the coverflow feature. This does look good but means you have to go through your whole library getting the correct art. This gets even more complicated if you have lots of compilations or older albums that don't have the cover art necessary. On the Ipod this feature takes a while to load and if you have lots of albums, when you flick through there is a lot of generic grey before it loads. Despite this the Ipod classic is a quality piece of kit and I would recommend it to anyone who has more than 1000 tracks in there library. If you have less than that then I would recommend the new nano or an equivalent as you will never get near filling this beast.
