Right before the New Year my 1GB iPod shuffle broke, leaving me devastated! This iPod Classic was my first choice as a replacement.
The device has a great amount of storage, good display, and nice sound quality. There are occasional glitches when the wheel becomes momentarily unresponsive, but overall the iPod functions really well!
I also noticed that soon after I bought it the shiny backside had a series of light scratches, those the front stayed pristine. This was expected with the type of surface, but it might be ideal for you to get a protecting case for it.
In addition, I always used to fall asleep listening to my iPod, and though the sleep timer on this classic is very handy the volume won't reduce as much as I might like. It can get quiet, but for falling asleep it may not be the best volume for everyone.
I've owned this iPod for a little over three months now and I feel the purchase was absolutely worth the money. The battery life is excellent, though it may take a little while to charge if completely drained. It (mine) also came preloaded with three games including a quiz game, a card game, and a game called "Vortex." I'll admit that the card game can be very addictive, and they're all a nice perk to buying the iPod.
