ipod classic

[AmexRuislip]

I must behind the times. Went in to the Apple store today in Watford, and just asked a general question about if and when the ipod classic would ever be updated. 'Oh no sir, we do not sell them here anymore, you can only get them on line' was the answer. I have all of my music on the classic, and its too big for a itouch. So I have just have to like it or lump it I suppose.

Have you tried turning it on and off?

I'm in the same position and it's bloody annoying. Massive mark up online, so I'm tempted to go for a 'refurbished' one or whatever they call it. I had a lot of audiobooks and podcasts on mine as well as music, and it comfortably held the lot.

The 160 GB version is in demand. Second hand ones go for more than you'd expect.

I still love mine.

I think of the Ipod Classic like an indestructible old fashioned car, basic but very rugged and long lived. I still use one that I bought in 2002. Pretty damned impressive longevity

My Classic developed a fault recently and as it was still under warranty they replaced it. When I remarked that I thought it had been discontinued they told me that it was still
manufactured to replace ones like mine but had been withdrawn from sale. So, who knows, if enough people complain they might start selling it again.

I have a classic. Love it.

I had an iPod classic and left it on an aeroplane which was fecking annoying. Have used my sons iPhone 2 ever since

I have 3,000 tracks on mine, is there any way, inc paying a computer shop, that I can move onto my Iphone 6+ WITHOUT using a Mac/computer!? Cheers

I just got £100 for my 16 gig on eBay, well happy with that considering I had it for about 7 years.

Presumably they are all in your iTunes account ?

You can just sync another device if that is the case.

I realised the other day my ipod is almost 10 years old. Pretty beat up but still going strong! As they don't make them any more are there any other companies that make mp3 players with large capacities?

Still both going strong...

I remember deciding to get to get the 120 not the 160 and hearing a little voice in the back of my head saying 'you'll regret that' in the long run. And I do as it nears capacity.

Another vote for the Classic. Had mine 7 years and still going strong.

Note to Apple - not everyone wants to spend ages synching stuff on and off their phone, some people actually don't want to answer calls while listening to music, there are areas where there is no mobile reception and I actually find it quite therapeutic download stuff from iTunes on to my iPod.

Nope, paid someone (deleted off his) to load em all on in one hit!

I bought a 160 gb on ebay BRAND NEW for £170 about a year ago... they are still out there.
