Manufacturer's Description

Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theatre. With a 30GB iPod in hand, those movies fit comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts, audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of music — up to 7,500 songs, in fact. iPod is a pocket-size prodigy.

Watch this space

How much can your pocket hold? That’s up to you and your iPod. It holds up to 7,500 songs, up to 9,375 photos, and up to 37.5 hours of video — or any combination of each.(1) So you can browse movies on the iTunes Store, download the ones you want, then sync it to your iPod. Same goes for TV episodes, new iPod games, songs, best-selling audiobooks, and an entire universe of free podcasts. Go ahead. Fill ’er up.

Suit yourself

From cases to car kits, customise your iPod with accessories made especially for it. Pick up an iPod Universal Dock for more convenient syncing. Add an iPod Hi-Fi for room-filling sound. Sync photos on the go with an iPod Camera Connector. Attach a voice recorder to take audio notes.

Play all day
With all that music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for up to 14 hours.(2) Or, if you’d rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for up to three-and-a-half hours.(3)

Pack light

It might be a miracle. Otherwise, it’s hard to explain exactly how 30GB of storage(4) can fit into an iPod that’s over 30% thinner than the previous fourth generation. However it happened, it means you can carry your entire music collection — plus a nice selection of video — absolutely everywhere you go. And a 60% brighter, more vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and video extra oomph.

Search and enjoy

Finding what you want to hear among 7,500 songs could be quite a chore — unless you have an iPod. A new interface lets you search your iPod using the patented Click Wheel. And if you’re a fan of live albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it’s continuous, iPod supports gapless playback that seamlessly transitions from one song to another.

Apple iPod 30GB Video/Black (5th Generation)
Don't get an iPod! They are highly overated and more often than not are owned as status symbols. I switched from iPod to sony after about 8 months because I was tired of having to buy downloads from itunes that my sister had already downloaded from virgin media which are compatable with practically all makes of mp3 player except for iPod. There are loads of alternatives out there that dont get enough recognition, are cheaper and do EXACTLY the same thing (Except are compatible with so many more download sites)!!!!

Witchcraft!
All my cds squeezed down a wire onto this handsome little machine. Its just great. who says that technology cant be good looking too. Apple really do know how to make kit desirable.

I got mine xmas October 2006, it still works!
Overall my ipod still works, did a great job over the years. Mine is scratched, regardless of the use of covers but the point being it still works. The battery life on mine is down to about 6 hours if I let it play and don't change tracks too often. Worth every penny even though it doesnt allow for a variety of file types, as an mp3 player the sound quality is good and video quality is great. However the video drains the battery so for me it was a pointless function on long journeys.

I am about to update and purely for the lack of innovation from Apple I shall be going to a competitor. If you want an mp3 with a big memory that is fairly easy to navigate and you don't mind itunes absorbing your computer memory then buy this. I wouldnt buy it now but originally it was one of the best on the market.
