iPod Classic 160GB

Music
The sound certainly feels more refined compared to the fifth generation, and this too was expected. The player supports MP3, AIFF, WAV and AAC, plus Apple lossless and Audible files. Native WMA files aren't supported, but protected AAC files work – provided they are bought from the iTunes store.
The music quality as usual is brilliant. Apple has worked on the sound, giving a more punch-packed output. The mid-level frequencies are more responsive now. The company should have included manual EQ settings as well, but I don't suppose any amount of bad press is going to get Apple to do that!
There are, however, loads of presets for different genres of music. The earphones provided are pretty good. FM Radio still eludes the iPod, for reasons I can't quite understand.
Video
Video format support include H.264 video, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio, M4V, MP4, and MOV file formats. Video conversion can be a pain, and iTunes is yet another pain in the posterior. You still can't drag and drop, and support for third party applications like Winamp have been removed.
This is bad, considering it requires the new iTunes to work with it, and is mighty slow. God help you if you have a slow machine! I tested the same movie with the 30GB iPod, and found that the black levels are much truer in the Classic, and some of the issues I faced with the fifth generation iPod (such as mosaic compression) have been minimized.
Start up time for videos is fast, and you won’t face any trouble even while the videos change (or music, for that matter). It’s the navigation that's a bitch. But you have to realize that once the player is full, the 160GB of content can be quite a handful to manage efficiently.
