It all started with the wheel and compact design. Since the introduction of the first iPods the line has undergone many changes and additions, but the main iPod always remained undergoing constant feature improvements and capacity upgrades. Now the iPod undergoes a name change to the iPod Classic making room for the iPod Touch. The Classic is the direct sucessor to what was previously known as the iPod Video. Again, the main differences are new features and increased capacity.
The body is made entirely metallic with an anodized look. From a software perspective the interface is improved with what Apple calls their "Enhanced UI" which is also found on the new iPod Nanos. When browsing music and photos album covers and thumbnails randomly fade in and out of the screen. While listing to a particular song the album's cover and song information are displayed at the same time. Cover Flow is Apple's fancy method for selecting a particular album that lets you flip between album covers using the touch wheel. At 320x240 the 2.5 inch screen's resolution remains unchanged.
No changes have been made to the audio, video, and photo compatibility. Audio formats are limited to AAC, MP3, AIFF and WAV, but no new formats such as Ogg Vorbis are supported. Similarly with video compatibility remains solely with the iPod specific reduced H.264 format.
The iPod event in September 2009 has proven to mean very little for the classic. A mere bump in capacity, the remaining technical specs and features have remained unchanged.

Seriously what needs to be said? Its a classic iPod so all the 'kinks' have been addressed. EXCEPT for one! You are still tethered to that garbage program called iTunes. That is why I gave the ease-of-use such a low score. Other than that it is one great little player and has the capacity to hold my entire collection. Would definately recommend this unit.
This is my first Ipod and I love it. My son told me to get the Ipod Classic. He said it would be all I ever needed and he is right. I lost count of the number of CD's I have loaded on it,… Read More
This is my first Ipod and I love it. My son told me to get the Ipod Classic. He said it would be all I ever needed and he is right. I lost count of the number of CD's I have loaded on it, but I have over 2500 songs and have used very little space at all. It took me a little while to figure things out since this is my first, but after I did, it was easy. I bought a Kicker Speaker dock and that made it even better. I can listen without the headphones while I am sewing or working around the house. I Love It!!!!!
