Original New Ipod classic 160 Gb Vs Most Recent 120Gb

Apple rarely gives new features to old iPods (iPhone and Touch are just different). I hate how it works, but thats how they do it. Genius shouldn;t be that hard to apply to the 160 or 80 GB classic, but they just won't do it. There has to be a reason to upgrade.

Genius isn't that amazing. If you have a Music Library worthy of a 160gb iPod than chances are Genius would shoot itself in the head rather than scan through it all.

The 160 gig has definite Indexing problems, I have 158gig full and songs have just gone missing.

Just a question but do/can you defrag iPods? I've never had an iPod with a hard drive so I've never been able to experiment on it. It sounds like it's all fragmented.

Have any one see apge where hte ipod is full exposed, where you can see all the small parts thait has, maybe in order to get UI of the new Classic. But I HAven try to use the Ipod with Ubuntu I'm not saying that the can be hacked trough Ubuntu. I remeber that the old Nano has the possibility to use linux.

At the en all gadget are dissposable, I got the Ol creative Zen Xtra as 3.5HD enclosure.

Aviel you'll need to be brave to open a rescue the hard drive and the only pice missing wil be to install the UI

You don't need Genius on the old 160gbs anyway, you can do all Genius features on iTunes! The iPod still recognises Genius playlists as a normal playlist, it just won't be able to recommend any songs on the actual iPod itself.

160GB all the way. I think 120 was a big step backwards, bring on 240!

I am somehow doubting that the classic ipod will be around much longer. Apple didn't really upgrade anything at all last year. Hopefully one day we would be able to reliably stream all our media over the network with as much speed as having the file locally, and storage size wouldn't even matter.
