This iPod is amazing. The 30G black iPod is a wonderful product. I have over 1500 songs and my friend has over 14,000 songs and we still can't fill it up. I also have three movies on it; Clerks 2, Ten Things I Hate About You, and Pirates of the Carribean. I also have 27 pictures on it. If I could change... review »

This is my second ipod. It was a replacement through my warranty on my first. Its frozen numerous times. I hope my computer never crashes because you can't hook them up to more than one computer most of the time. The battery is worn out and its only a year old. Its scratches way to easy. I'm a college...

This mp3 player is very advanced and of great quality. This ipod is great quality. I have had mine for about 3 years and it has been through everything and still works perfectly. I have dropped it, washed it, and even had a dog chew on it. The ipod gives the highest quality of sound and has a high quality screen to watch movies and music videos. The space is also great and it can hold a large amount of songs.

The good: Incredibly thin and intuitive design; beautiful LCD; supports photo and video playback; seamless integration with iTunes, which boasts the world's biggest music catalog and a new video store; smooth video; lots of extra features, such as a world clock, a stopwatch, and PIM applications; a galaxy of accessories designed for the iPod; great overall value.

The bad: No extras included, such as a dock, A/V cables, or a power adapter; poor battery life for video; slight delay when playing video; no guarantee that your non-iTunes Music Store video will play...

As a college student with an ample music collection, I can't get enough of my ipod.  I use it regularly as I am walking around campus, at the gym, or just hanging out in the apartment.  The 30 gb hard drive holds thousands of songs, and making playlists is an easy and fun way to make a mix to match my mood.  On the go playlists are great as well, as those can be made without attaching to the computer - great for when i am walking or driving and in the mood for something in particular.  Shuffling by genre is another favorite feature, though I recommend labeling genre on your own to establish... review »

Have owned my black Ipod 30G Video for about 2 years now. No real complaints, other then the fact once in awhile, while synching my itunes library to the ipod, it will freeze and I'll have to let the battery die, before I can re-synch it. This has happened more then once, so I doubt it's a fluke. Its not a major deal, but can be annoying. I'm sure its probably just my ipod itself. Other then that, Im very happy and pleased with it. The battery life says it lasts about 20 hours or so, but I'm assuming that is if you have it on a very low volume. Mine seems to only last about 8-10 hours before I... review »

the ipod 5th generation video 30 gb mp3 player is an amazing ipod!!! i received this ipod as a gift a year ago and i absolutely love it!!! it is in excellent amazing condition. i have nevr had any problems with it. i received this ipod used, but it is definitely worth it because there are no problems, and everything about this ipod is amazing. the battery life is good for a day and then some. (and yes i have actually had it playing for almost 24 hours straight) the best feature about this ipod is the video aspect of it. once a video is downloaded and put onto this ipod, the quality of the video...

I got my ipod about 3 years ago and have loved it since. It's well worth the $300 you pay for it. It comes with an adapter for the computer so that's a benefit. I would defintiely buy another ipod, and actually have as gifts. I think everyone should have one.

The cons are that for every other accessory you have to purchase them and they can be a little pricey, though I find places with these items marked down. They do scratch easily so I suggest a case to cover them. Even so you can put tons of pictures, movies, and music on them and the screen is clear and has full, vibrant color. Battery life...

This iPod is definetly the best product that I have ever bought from Apple. They are known for their high quality and having the newest technology and this delivers. I bought my 80 Gb Ipod video five years ago and I have never had a problem with it. I have (unintentionally) dropped, chipped, and scratched it with no ill effects. It plays videos and movies well (though I would recomend a charger that you an use while watching so that you do not run your batteries down). I was a little skeptical about using it for video, ect. because the screen was so small bu quickkly found that I hardly saw a difference....

This I-Pod is one of the first to come out and also one of the best that have came out. This is a must have for all of you music addicts and movie cravers. It comes with a memory card big enough for anyone who like to listen to music or watch movies all day. This I-Pod video comes with 4 already built in games and more can be bought at the itunes store along with everything video and music wise for the I-Pod Video. I have had mine ever since it came out and i use it for atleast an hour a day. It is great for trips or plane rides. Its screen is big enough to you and another to watch a movie at the...

I bought this for my daughters 14th birthday and she loves it.  I download music videos from Itunes for her to add to her collection.  at 1.99 each, I normally buy 5-6 a month.  She carries it everywhere she goes and loves using it for music, music videos, games, pictures and movies.  I loved it so much that I bought me a 60 gb which I can use the same music videos on.  My 8 yr old son carries mine everywhere with him.  Its great for car trips.  Its so portable but so versatile he carries it in restaurants and it keeps him entertained.  We are able to sit down and enjoy a nice talk at the... review »

I own an Ipod 30gb and havent had any problems with it except for the fact that the battery died but other than that these little things are amazing.I would reccomend this model the most because its not insanely expensive like the Ipod  touch and you can still watch movies on it and listen to 1000's of songs on it also.The only other problem to watch out for is the screen getting scratched so make sure to buy a case to put in or suffer the consequences of watching blurry movies.The equalizer on the Ipod doesn't help with the sound quality at all and the oringinal earbuds they give you are horrible... review »

When it comes to the 30G video iPod, you really don't need anything else.  Sure, there are much larger capacity iPods out there now, but I don't really want my whole entire music library on my iPod.  If I have too much music on it, it's nearly impossible to decide what to listen to.  It doesn't have applications or anything like the new iTouch does, but it's old school and simple, and it does what I want it to do.  I don't really use the photo feature, but the video is nice when I'm waiting somewhere and want to watch a part of a tv episode to keep myself entertained.  All in all, a great...

I didn't think I would be an iPod fan until I got one...then I was addicted! The 30 GB Video iPod in black was a gift (since I filled up my 8 GB Nano and it barely put a dent in my music collection)...it has been a great little musical joy in so many ways. I use it in my car (especially on long road trips), hook it up to my in-home stereo system so I don't have to switch CD's, use it on flights, and everywhere else. Although it's obviously bulkier than my Nano it gives me the added convenience of video if I so desire. At the time, this was not an option with the Nano.

I was sceptic before buying the IPOD as it is a substantial amount of money, but now I can only say:"It's worth every penny." I enjoy it in the gym, especially the clear sound quality, the easily handling, and the long-lasting battery life. It is so easy in connection with the ITUNES software to create playlists. An additional feature is of course the video, which I don't use that much. For me it's a ll about the music and with that it's just stunning! A perfect gift for yourself or someone you love. I never regret to buy it. A faboulos product from Apple.
