Thanks for the reply. I mainly want it for music, also I will be using the internet of it of course too, and the apps but mainly it is for music. I will ask the guy at the shop about what you are saying with the flash upgraded iPod classic and I don't know what you mean about the click wheel. Touch screen is very good for me, I think.

Thank you for your reply. I mainly want it for music, and internet browsing too and the apps available too. I will buy a very good android phone, probably the Samsung note plus, and I will also buy this iPod and use it for music mainly.
I bought a 256GB Touch several months ago specifically as an update for my two aging 160GB Classics. I love it. It syncs with all my Alexa devices, my Taotronics fantastic $60 noise canceling earphones and my iTonics hearing aids.
I was pushing the actual 148GB ceiling on the Classics anyhow and the Touch is current Apple technology and will be supported for some years which the Classics are not.
I occasionally use the other IOS 13.3 features, but have not yet updated to 13.4 as it is getting gripes on these forums. I also have not upgraded my iMacs to Catalina as it is currently still a disaster for iTunes issues.
Not worth detailing the click wheel here, but it's loss is very inconvenient. I found it very fast for music control, but the Touch does have some good features on its iTunes/Music app such as a "Recently Added" feature which did not exist on the Classic.
Bottom line IMHO, the Touch is an excellent vehicle for your iTunes music.
You CAN get an SSD Classic with 256GB on eBay for about half the cost of a new 256GB Touch, which does have the Click wheel, but it is still an OLD device hardware wise, compared to a brand new Touch which has lots more apps than the Classic plus Bluetooth, and you can access the iTunes store directly if you wish because the Touch is WiFi, which the Classic is not.
No comparison.
