Out of my 5 iPods, my 5th Generation Nano is my favorite. It has a decent amount of storage and yet is still very small and portable. It does everything my 5th Gen classic does, but doesn't feel like a brick. I Love it.

A Close second is my 5th gen classic.

having a nano and an ipod classic. I'd say my Zune is my favorite. The interface is what the ipods should have been. The audio quality seems to be better as well. It's a shame iTunes will never be revamped to make it more visually appealing and functional like the Zune software. iTunes gets more and more bloated each year. With that being said, Microsoft missed out on making the Zune platform something more.

I've used the Zune software for a bit, and can't imagine why you would find it more functional than iTunes. Prettier? Maybe... But it doesn't even run faster than the windows version of iTunes, actually seemed to be missing a lot of functionality for managing your library, and didn't seem any easier to use either. :confused: I really wanted to like it, too...

Out of all the iPods I have, I have to say my 5th gen. white Classic is my favorite. The white iconic iPod at its height of simple and minimalistic design. It's just great.

Out of all of them, the 3rd gen. Classic with the red illuminated buttons. Perhaps it wasn't the most ideal design, but it was the most unique and interesting concept for sure.

My vote goes to the most recent 160GB black Classic. I'm debating getting a second one just for my videos, since this current one is already about 90% full of my music.

I've gone through quite a few iPods. My favorites were the second generation iPod nano (the colored ones), the third generation iPod (with the four glowing buttons), and the current iPod classic (just because of its capacity).

I think my most favorite one is the first generation iPod nano. I still remember how Apple would compare it to a pencil on their website.

I don't use it anymore though; I just use my iPhone. It's one hell of an iPod too.

The first gen nano is also my favorite of all time. I have a few that are a bit scratched up. I'm always looking for one new in the box though.

Zune + Zune Pass beats the pants off iTunes. Most importantly, the pricing model is way more affordable to me.

Anyway, my favorite iPod is the iPod 5G video. I used to run linux on it with doom and everything.

i love my iPod nano metallic silver. I try to use it everyday plus it matches my good and reliable head phone. Not a beat I would miss using my iPod especially when I am traveling. I won't mind when the battery will be drained since it last for 2-3 days.

The newest 160 GB Classic, in silver, with a Switcheasy hard plastic crystal case on it and a PowerSupport crystal film set. :)

Close seconds are the original mini in Silver, or the 5G nano.

The 5G nano would've REALLY been something in a 32 gig flavor. I was hoping so hard for that to come true last September. :(

I liked the iPod Classic 60 Gig (black) - the first with video.

The video/audio cable fit right into the headphone slot and I would hook it up right to my TV set...

I sold it but now sort of miss it... :(

+1 on the 5th gen nano. Actually, +2. My 2nd-gen nano was stolen a while ago; I could've got the new one, but instead I got a second 5th gen in the Apple refurb section. Video playback + video camera + no-look click wheel for the bleepin' win.

Insofar as ones I haven't had, it's a tossup between the current iPod touch and the 4th gen nano; the 4G nano's blue was the perfect shade of electric blue and would've matched my v-moda Vibes exactly. Still, I'm glad I got the 5th gen instead for the increased functionality.

iPod video, best ipod ever made. Sadly mine had a HDD Fail from which it was exchanged for an iPod touch and then i was :( . Don't get me wrong, the iPod touch is a great device but it isn't as good as a proper iPod don't you agree? ;)

The 2nd Gen iPod. It was my first venture into portable players. I had to install a firewire card in my PC and because iTunes was not on Windows, I had to use a program called Ephpod to manage my library. It was worth it. I used it for years. Even when the battery started holding very little charge, I plugged it in and used it with a T-amp. I don't use it a lot nowadays, but it still runs.

Here is a pic in my old T-amp setup:

Why would anyone be on an Apple forum site and say that the Zune is better. Any Ipod would kick the Zune's butt.... Just saying...

From a hardware stand point the Zune is better than an iPod, its really hard to argue that. Specifically, the hard drive models. The software is where Zune really falls flat on its face, its just not very user-friendly in comparison to iTunes and has far fewer management options, specifically smart playlists.

Lets remember it was the Zune 16 model that pushed apple to add a capacity bump to the 4th gen nano. Who knows we might still be at 8GB if apple had their way.

..but to stay on topic, I would have to say overall my favorite would have to be the 2008 120GB Classic and the 2009/10 160GB Classic. I picked them because:
- massive capacity doesn't force me to pick and choose

- transfer rates are still the fastest (which is ironic since people think the hard drive model is the slowest)

- Click wheel makes in-pocket navigation a breeze..vs the touch screen in which you have to look at it all the time..though I must say the 6th gen navigation using a arm band is a breeze to operate as well.

- Fits nicely in hand, though the dual layer hd models fit even better (the "thick" models, 60GB/80GB iPod Video, 160GB 2007 Classic)

- Reliable, I've only had one hard drive model fail on me, a 5th gen 80GB refurb that landed flat on its face. It has since been swapped with a 320GB hard drive as is strictly used for displaying video on my TV. I've never had another one fail on me and I've had: 4th gen 20GB, 5th gen 60GB, 5th gen 80GB, 6th gen 160GB, 7th gen 120GB, and my latest baby the 7th gen 160GB.

- Genius/Quick shortcuts is why I pick the 7th gen over all the others, it makes it much quicker to switch from a song on the now playing list and go straight to the artist or album page without having to navigate menus.

I feel like apple dropped the classic on its face and that it has so much more potential than what apple left it as.

160gb classic :)

I'm torn between the 160 GB Classic, the original mini, and the 5G nano.

The original mini, for it's time, was just perfect. Perfect size, and gorgeous. Awesome feel in your hand, large clickwheel for in-your-back-pocket-navigation. It was my first iPod, and I used it for 3 years before I lost it. 1.5 years ago, I found a NIB one on ebay (silver 4 GB second gen, close enough as mine was a silver 4 GB first gen) so I bought it for $80. I pull it out when I feel nostalgic, like I did this past weekend. I used it all weekend and remembered what a great iPod it was.

The 5G nano, is just awesome and is just a 32 GB flash chip away from true perfection. I really don't care for the other features (video camera, radio, video, etc.) but it's an amazing little package, and has an awesome form factor that's hard to beat. It's so much in such a small, elegant package. I actually bought three of them--red, green, and orange, all 16 GB models. my only fear is that I have 12 GB of music now, so they are getting full but these are iPods I see myself using for several years, like my original mini so I'm concerned about them getting full.

Then there's the 160 GB 2009/2010 classic. I gotta admit, THIS is my go-to iPod. This is my favorite, it feels so good in the hand, I love the slab-sided size of it, especially in it's Switcheasy hard plastic case, and it's nice and fast, as mentioned the transfer speeds are insane compared to any other iPod, and it just looks beautiful. I remember when they came out I thought they were absolutely hideous (well, the black one still looks a little cheap to me, but silver, which I have I think is gorgeous), and I hated the split screen software, but now I love it. Even though I only have 12 GB of music, the Classic really is the best iPod for me, and my favorite. The battery is awesome too.

So I guess it's another vote for the newest Classic.:)

I may be alone, but it's like my lil buddy - so convenient, beautiful, doesn't get in the way & love the UI. The most recent software update changed the way playlists are played and displayed to be the same as the iPod Touch - I liked it better before, but apparantly I was in the minority. Oh, and I don't want video on an iPod. Awesome product.

My favorite was the 3rd Gen iPod Nano, the "fatty".

http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/444513.jpg

I only had it for a few months but it was a great iPod. The reason I got rid of it so quickly is because the storage on them was way too weak for me. I need at least 16GB to be happy with my player. A close second is the iPod Classic, easy to navigate and can hold all my music.

I currently use my iPod Classic 160GB at work and in the car, while I use my iPod Nano 6th Gen for working out and carrying around in my suit all the time. My iPad gets some music play time as well but not as often as the other two.

I had a 4GB 3rd gen Nano for 3 years (I actually had two, because a metal detector at Six Flags messed up my screen on one), and it was great. Only thing that I didn't like was the 4GB.

I got an 80GB 5th Gen Classic last September, and so far I love it. As my library keeps growing, I don't have to worry about running out of space. Plus the battery life is great. Plus it can even jailbreak my PS3 haha. Definitely my favorite device I own tbh.

From an idealized form factor I agree, but I was hoping they'd not only stick with that design, but get it up to 32GB (last year).

Overall though, I;ve got to give it to the 160GB Classic (7 G). And that's likely o be outdone when Apple pops one of the 220GB drives in the next update. I couldn't wait and couldn't handle having to manage my Red Fatty 8GB on a regular basis. I want one device to hold all or at least as much of (be the vast majority) of my music as possible. I want to pull up any tune on a whim and not be limited.

I couldn't wait for the update, so I just got a new Classic a couple of weeks ago and I'm quite happy. The only downside was exchanging my 60GB iPod Photo to get the 10% discount. However, that brick hasn't worked consistently for several years. I'd get a few days out of it here and there if I could hit it just right to get the HD back on track. Now I've got one that works and holds nearly three times as much music. Happy days are here again.:D

I've got all nanos from 2nd to 6th generation (gotta get one 1st gen someday) and to this day I absolutely love everything about this little buddy, especially the higher resolution cover flow compared to 4th and 5th generations. Like many others I'd have loved to see it upgraded to 16 GB or even 32 GB. It would've been perfection.

I have to admit though: I'm a sucker for all iPods. I love my classic for handling and - who would've thought - storage, I love my touch for all the entertainment options and capacity (64 gigs of flash... hooray), I love my shuffles (especially 2nd gen) and don't even really know why... ;)

Anyhow, 3rd gen nano Product RED is my favorite iPod of all time - because you made me choose. :D

I'm partially in agreement with you, mainly for the ability to watch video in upright position. Had it included a small external speaker like the 5th gen, the experience would have been almost perfect. I'm not a fan of the pastel color schemes for that model, though. (A minor nitpick, I'll admit, but there it is.)

The 2G iPod nano was superb for audio (thanks to the Wolfson DAC), and had a really long battery life per charge. One word of warning, though: make sure you have current software version for that model installed, since earlier versions had a tendency to cause the iPod to "freeze."

My favourite iPod is ipod touch. Its added storage capacity means that you can store up to 1750 songs on it, get 10 hours of video and pack up to 10,000 photos. It has an centralized apostle that's said to advance complete quality, but if you're looking for really great sound from Apple, go for an iPhone.

I have to weigh in on this one, being that I'm a bit of an iPod fanatic. Choosing a favorite though, is a little like choosing a favorite son or daughter.

The third gen "classic" was the design that made me crave iPods to begin with, so that one holds a special place in my heart. I loved its monochrome display because it was perfectly readable with the backlight off. It feels excellent to grip, with all of its round edges! (Same goes for the 4th gen "classic".)

I recently bought a 5th gen nano (the video camera one) and have to admit that it's fantastic in every way, although maybe not superior in every way. If pressed, I think I'd pick the 5th gen nano as my favorite but don't tell the others!

That said, the "iPod" I use most often nowadays is my iPhone 4, simply because I always have it with me and can download podcasts on the go. It's a little sad because the touch interface is clumsy to use while driving, not to mention highly dangerous.

iPod Video (5G) was my favorite, the classic white look was great and it was before they switched the interface to the split screen. Awesome screen and just pure simplicity. 80GB was awesome in it too.

Yeah looks like I will be the weirdo were, my favorite was the shuffle 3 gen, so small I lost mine:eek: It was a resilient companion :p (while it lasted:D)

I've had a 2gen nano but it was always crashing, so I traded it for the best sounding player I ever had an sony nwz-a826. Nowadays I'm happy with my classic, hopping someday to get another one and turn this one into an flash classic (yeah I went from micro to fat:confused:)

My Mini's the best looking, and the one I choose if I ever am just wanting to show off, but my lil third gen Nano still tugs at my heartstrings, it's dented and scratched but it still looks the part, plays well, has long (enough) battery life and is REALLY comfy and nice to use in the hand (I remember when the gadget press were up in arms about it too :rolleyes:). Thinking about upping to a classic if they refresh it as I recently discovered music goes past 128kbps - ah the mistakes of youth

iPod Video is my favourite.

It was quick in use and I liked being able to read song lyrics on it(main reason I traded my iPod Photo in for it). A close second would be my 2nd-gen Shuffle. It's just so handy and I use it when popping to the shops or cleaning the house. I have two of them(silver and red).

I didn't enjoy going from my 30GB Video to an 80GB Classic but it had better battery life and I needed the space. Choosing songs is slower as it would load the album art and the Coverflow on the main menu meant waiting a few seconds when going to settings while listening to a song. I've had to remove all my album art from my songs as there's no longer an option I can see to not display art on the iPod, which is a shame.

I have a 120GB Classic now because it works with the iPhone headset which I use to control it.

Choosing a favorite though, is a little like choosing a favorite son or daughter.

Haha, that's probably a very good way of looking at it - likewise for me. But if I had to choose it's a toss up between the 2G Nano or (my current) 6G Classic. Unfortunately I sold my Nano last February. It was fantastic and great value for money when I purchased it. It was a great design too and I do wish I still owned this Nano. My girlfriend has one and I like to use it whenever I can.

The Classic is what I like to refer to as the heavyweight. I have the 6G 160GB version and again, it's brilliant. I don't have the biggest music collection (especially after seeing the 'how big is your library' thread) but it's a great feeling know I can store my whole collection onto it and pick and choose from such a variety. Overall it probably just edges it simply because of the amount it holds.

Black Classic. I plan on using my current one until it dies.

I'm extremely attached to my blue mini which was given to me by my cousin because "The battery's dead" :P. I use it every day and it's much more practical than an iDevice for music.

I would really love a black Classic though, only because of the capacity, but a 64GB CF is half the price of a classic so I can't really justify it.

The 5G nano would've REALLY been something in a 32 gig flavor. I was hoping so hard for that to come true last September. :(

Ditto. I'm so disappointed they turned it into a little touchscreen square... That thing was amazing. *cries*

From all the iPods I own (iPod Touch 4G, iPod Video 5G, iPod Nano 1G and iPod Nano 2G) my favourite is the iPod Nano 2G. It is the best sounding Rockbox DAP. I have a Sansa Clip+ and Fuze rockboxed but IMHO the Nano 2G sounds much better with Rockbox. My iPod Video 5G sounds awesome too rockboxed but it is a bit on the big side to carry about unlike the Nano.

For apps and music making on the go my iPod Touch is my favourite but for sound quality its my rockboxed iPod Nano 2G:)

I've had the iPod Photo 30GB, the iPod Video 60GB, the iPod nano 5th gen Red, and the 2nd gen iPod touch.

The Nano is still my favorite one though.

The latest generation iPod Classic hands down. It's the direct descendent of the device that became my gateway into Apple products in general. Plus, my two year-old Classic is by far the best iPod I've had (besides the 40gb iPod Photo that died a couple of days ago :( )

Whichever has the most space. Right now, it's the classic. (Hopefully it will continue to be the classic...Apple better not stop updating it!)

The 2nd gen nano is my all time favorite. I love that form and the iSkin-shell casing has kept them intact and nice looking.
