What should i get an ipod classic 80gb or nano 8gb?

Question

based on capacity(duh), battery life, if the batteries r replaceable when they break. also, how many songs/movies can each hold and if they last a long time

Answer 1

The Nano offers maximum portability, while the Classic offers excellent storage space.

Now, consider the following:

I have nearly 1,000 songs on my iPod - totaling 4.25GB. This is already more than half of the total memory of a Nano. If you'll only listen to music, this is the way to go.

However, the new video capability of the iPod is something you might want to take advantage of at some point. Depending on the converter you use, the length of the movie and the quality you want in the converted file, an .mp4 movie (this is the format for iPod movies) will take up anywhere from 1GB to 2GB of space. So, if you wish to have movies on your iPod Nano, one must be rather selective about which movies to have.

If you want games, add a few more megabytes (depending on the game and how many games you have). If you want pictures, add a few more (depending on how many and the quality of the images).

So, in conclusion, if you're JUST going to listen to music - get the Nano, hands down.

If you want a full iPod experience, I suggest you pay those extra bucks and get the 80GB.

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

That really depends on how much music you have. 8GB is a lot of music.

The nano is great for people who are on the go.

80GB is an insane amount of music, more than you need for sure but, if you are going to be downloading lots of video it may be the way to go.

I made my decision to get the nano because at the end of the day ill listen to more music if the MP3 player is portable than if I have to lug some big hard drive around with me where ever i go .
