Good buy, but pricey... should have bought earlier
19 of 21 found this helpful I purchased this ipod to finally scratch the itch I have been having ever since I upgraded the sound system on my truck. I wanted to be able to listen to any / all of my music at all times and the only way to do this effectively was to get myself this little bugger and connect it to my stereo / dvd player. Why did apple ever stop making these? I will never know. Why didnt I buy one when they first came out? Lack of foresight. Nevertheless, the device is in good shape. The screen is vibrant and after formatting the hard drive (which I wholly recommend, even if you are using itunes to re-initialize the whole device later, everything is working fine. Sound through my vehicle speakers is great, and if later on I want to watch podcast videos, or any other content I so chose, Ill buy the video cable and replace the one i got now. I recommend this nugget to anyone who doesnt want to deal with cloud storage or blowing thru your data cap just listening to music. As an added bonus, you can show your photos on your car display screen from the ipod as well. Wireless bluetooth would have been the icing on the cake but that was too much to ask from apple then. As with all their devices, Apple future-proofs their market by making things obsolete with each generation. Control will never be obsolete in my book, however, and this device gives total control to a true music lover in spades.
