Hope the Third One's a Charm, November 25, 2009

DeeBeeBig iPod Classic fan here. iTunes on the Mac is a fantastic app for managing my media library and devices, and the capacity is unbeatable. The 7th Gen 160GB is the third Classic model I've owned. I outgrew my 80GB and almost outgrew my 120GB which I decided to sell to a friend who needs a great player.
I had to return the first one I bought because the click wheel was laggy and unresponsive. I experienced this same issue with my 80GB Classic for which Apple released firmware updates that improved, but did not solve responsiveness issues.
The second one, which I have now, does not have the laggy click wheel. It's perfect. BUT this one exhibits annoying issues with hard drive noise. The hard drive makes a whining sound when spinning up that is audible through the headphones.
I will return this one and hopefully get one that does not have click wheel or hard drive noise issues, then I may upgrade my review to 4 stars. I would give this item 5 stars if not for the quality issues.
Apple continues assault on consumer, November 25, 2009

Be aware (I sure wasn't), that Apple has decided you're just renting both the iPod and your music/tv shows/podcasts from them. Now, not only is it still a pain in the behind to transfer your files to anything other than the computer they started on, but now you have to buy a 50$! cord from Apple, of course, to watch your TV shows on your own TV because they now implant chips to prevent you from using non-Apple approved (and priced) accessories. I was a huge fan of the iPod when I got my first one four years ago. I looked on my iTunes account and I've spent thousands of dollars on a few thousand TV shows, movies, songs and audiobooks, but I am done. I am tired of Apple acting like they are doing me a favor by selling me a product. I'm returning my new iPod and buying some other MP3 player. I don't care which one anymore. Apple is so deeply offensive as a company that I'm just totally, completely, 100% DONE with them.
I love the classic!, November 25, 2009

JohnI was extremely skeptical about buying the classic but now I'm glad I made this purchase. I thought about getting the touch but in the end I decided that I would take the extra space over the what the touch had to offer and I am not disappointed. I have a large music library and the classic accommodates all of it with ease. Thank you apple for making the classic both a quantity and quality product!
OBVIOUS, November 24, 2009

It should be patently obvious to anyone with a brain to think with, or eyes to see with what the agenda of the apple corporation is. Just take a look at their logo. Its an APPLE! Not to belabour the obvious, but the BIBLE is very clear that this is the fruit of KNOWLEDGE that Eve (the first HARLOT), took a bite out it of despite strict admonishment from GOD THE FATHER not to. And to make it even more clear, the pepole at apple put into their logo a BITE taken out of this APPLE! The OBVIOUSNESS of this could not be more clear! Unfortunately, most people today are too blinded by the excesses of secular culture, and too brainwashed by the "hope and change" movement and by the promises of so-called "science and technoledgy" and secular "democracy" that they cant see this for themselves- it has to be pointed out to them, and even then most of them wont understand. What good is "democracy" when your SOUL is a SLAVE to SATAN-KNOWLEDGE (Satan Wants Me) and all that that represents? Not muich good at all, that's what. We need to turn into JESUS CGRIST!!
