Apple iPod Classic Review
If you’re a music lover looking for a device primarily to hold your extensive music collection, then the iPod Classic 7th Generation is the way to go. Its sheer storage space is incredible: With 160 GB it holds up to 40,000 songs or 200 hours of video. The classic iPod interface stays the same, with a user-friendly click wheel and a bright 2.5-inch LED screen that shows album art, pictures, or videos with clarity. Note that this is not the iPod you take with you to the gym or on a run; the internal hard drive will not last as long with excessive shaking. However, as an MP3 player that lets you carry around your large music collection, the iPod Classic, at $229.20, can’t be beat.
