upgraded from the itty bitty 2GB nano to this 120GB beast with the intention of putting my entire music collection on it and selling my CDs for some extra cash. well... i've put every CD i own, some i've borrowed, a few movies, and the several hundred songs i've downloaded over the years. and let me tell ya... i will not be running out of room on this ipod anytime soon. 120GB is an INSANE amount of space!!! this may very well be my last ipod purchase. not because i'm dissatisfied in any way... but because i don't see myself ever needing additional memory in the near future! seriously, if you've got similar plans of making your entire music collection portable, i would definitely recommend investing in this piece of hardware. it's like having a cineplex and record store in your pocket. rock on!
Does not work, November 21, 2009

I bought this ipod to replace my fourth generation 20 gig that was damaged on a fishing trip. It worked great for about 4 months, then it started randomly skipping over certain songs after only a few seconds of play. A couple of months later, it started freezing itunes every time I tried to sync it, so I was unable to put any new music or podcasts on it. I tried to restore it, however, that didn't work either, leaving me with an ipod with no content on it, that would not sync. Now, when I plug the ipod into my MacBook, itunes does not recognize it. I have tried sending it in to Apple 3 times, and each time they mail it back to me, saying that absolutely nothing is wrong with it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, I have tried syncing it to friend's itunes on other computers, nothing works. Ipods have suffered a major dip in quality, as has Apple customer service.
Awesome!, November 19, 2009

I love my Ipod! Would have wanted it to be a little cheaper. But oh well.
iPod Issues, November 18, 2009

This purchase was a replacement of one exactly like it a month earlier that had begun just turning itself off in the middle of listening to a song. AMAZON was GREAT about allowing us to return the first, and we were so excited to so quickly receive this replacement. But this item had the same issues which started occurring nearly as soon as we received it. Eventually we returned it to our local Apple store and because one of the techs there thought it was an internal hardware problem, they allowed us to exchange it with a brand new one. It's only been a few days with the third one, now, and our fingers are crossed that it will continue to work OK.
