Product DescriptionLike a new treasure this iPod, with package, has been reconditioned and ready in 100% working order.
We weren't ready to commit to the Ipod phenomenon (Rating: 4 out of 5) Apple iPod 20 GB Photo White MA079LL/A (4th Generation) Our children had these, and in newer models, and were fluent in Ipod use and lingo. We wanted the means to store our music safely and ready-to-use in our travel trailer or truck without handling and possibly damaging our compact discs. But we had absolutely no idea if this was going to suit us or, indeed, if we could make it work the way we thought it should at all.
Ipod arrived, used and in good condition. We had a little difficulty figuring out how to fully charge then reformat, then set it up. Sure enough it is something a twelve year old could have whipped in ten minutes and it took us two days, but we won in the end. Over a year later, we are loving it, use it regularly, and feel it worked out fine.
We would have done well to have bought a new one or a reconditioned one with fresh battery. The 20gb is more than enough memory, we're only using less than 8 gigabytes. But the battery is good for about part of one day then we recharge it. We've heard the new ones have much better batteries. But it recharges easily, does what we thought it would, and has been absolutely no problem whatsoever since we figured it out. We'd do it again, especially with the still reducing prices.
I still love it after three years! (Rating: 5 out of 5) I've had this iPod for about 3 years. It is still running great! The sound quality is awesome and it hold all my songs with no trouble. I've never had any major problems with it. The games feature is nice. It's a great music player - you won't really find anything "fancy" on it like what the new iPods (video, color, etc.). For me though, I didn't really care about any of that stuff - I just wanted something to play music. I do recommend that you get a case for it to keep it from getting scratched.
