Apr 22, 2010 Enter to win an 80 GB iPod Classic

To celebrate our final Throwback Thursday, we are dropping prices on many of our most popular accessories for iPod Classic. You should drop by the sale page now to take advantage of what’s up for grabs while items are available.

They called it the classic.

And let’s face it, what else could you call it? For all the innovations offered by the iPod touch and the iPod nano, even Apple had to admit that they got it right the first time. So much storage that even a completist like you could fit their whole library on there with room to spare, and a lightning quick interface that makes it easy to scroll through all your favorites, from ABBA to The Zombies and everything in between. These days, it’s easy to feel like the world’s forgotten about the humble iPod classic, but we haven’t.

    This one's mine; I just KNOW it! Please? If I don''t win this one I'll have to ransack my next door neighbor's closet. (He's the one who gave me an iMic.)

    Lets face it – the Classic pretty much revolutionised the world of portable music. The initial iPod established the entire line, placing Apple in the portable media market, and created their status symbol which sells many of their products today.

    The Classic is a fine player without all that swooshy screendragging crud on a Touch. Of course, I'm still happily rocking a rockboxed Mini!

    Nice – I had one for a while, then it died.

    Wow iPod classic was absolutely amazing!!! I remember seeing and wanting it so bad!!! But My family ended up getting me a Nike mp3 player instead… I still want that classic though :)

  • PINKLADY185

    It changed the way we listened to music, not only by the simple tap of a finger, but with the ipod classic, we had so much memory.we were able to have a vast variety of music available for our convenience and depending on our moods of what we wanted to listen to, without having to carry around all the bulk of cds and not have to worry about our discs being lost or damaged. True classics NEVER go out of style.Thanks Griffin.

    I had an iPod classic, once. I gave it to my nephew. Then I missed it a lot and bought myself a shuffle.

  • sasha5113

    Ah, but it remains to be seen (on Wed) whether virtue will be rewarded.

    The iPod Classic changed the way we looked at portable music. The scroll wheel navigation was ingenious! The iPod Classic was the first of many awesome MP3 players that have become an American icon!

  • peter

    it just changed everything about portable music consumption

    80 GB of Classic Rock would make my wife really happy. Of course, now we'd have to supplement it with Classical and other music to make our nearly 8 month-old twin girls happy!

    it brought the music out side :)

    The ipod classic changed my life for travelling. I could show photos and videos of people across the planet.

    Wow! Congrats! I bet you're busy. :)

    The iPod Classic changes our lives by paving the way to what could be; it opened the possibility that something so small, yet so straight-forward, powerful and flexible would become ubiquitous to almost everything we do from exercise to chilling out to having a party. It ushered in the possibility of the iPhone, iPad and all things i….

    Any Ipod Is Great ! Ive got to have Music everywhere i go :)

    It has allowed me to take all my music with me.. I don't have to fumble with CD's anymore.. I have everything I want right there at my fingertips.. it's magical!

  • EVula

    I used to haul a bunch of CDs with me everywhere I went that I'd be listening to music (for example, the warehouse I worked in for a couple of years…). When I got an iPod, suddenly I didn't have to do that anymore, and could listen to ten times as much music at the drop of a hat without trying to swap CDs in the car. It was fantastic.

  • Gregory Vaughn

    The bigger iPods (like the Classic) gave us the ability to carry our entire Micheal Bolton library with us at all times….by far the biggest highlight for my life the last decade!!

  • Nathan

    It revolutionized the entire Music Industry.

    Here's how the “Classic” really changed our lives:
    1. Less significantly – it doubled the battery life over the prior 5th generation.
    2. More significantly – it ushered in the era of Cover Flow. From here on out there was hardly a single Apple product that didn't include Cover Flow, and before you knew it, not only was it a way to display album art, but it was integrated into OS X's Finder, Microsoft started using similar concepts for Explorer, and all loads of other products began to include similar interfaces. IMHO the Classic began a UI revolution. Lists of items in a folder no longer had to be boring icons with names beside them – now the can be stunning slideshows of your stuff.

    Sometimes it's not the product itself that changes our lives, but the little things inside we've forgotten about.

    iPod Classic is the best iPod. Works perfect for it was created. :)

  • http://www.griffintechnology.com/connect Dave Delaney

    I hear you there. I carried 75 CDs and a Discman in my backpack across Europe. That was seriously extra weight!

  • Lawrence

    Two things stand out in particular. 1) Portability. Having a sizable music library available anywhere. It certainly beats flipping through a CD storage case the size of a cement block.
    2) Creating playlists. Where I used to have tons of various mix CDs lying around, now I can create a new playlist while brewing coffee each morning. Easy Peasy.
