Geeks.com sent us over for a whirl the highest capacity available iPod mp3 player, the 120 GB version of the iPod Classic. In the era of the touchscreen iPods and smartphones, how is the Classic design holding up?

Without piracy, it would cost you over $40,000 to fill it up at 99 cents per song.
<sarcasm>well yeah, because that's the only thing you use a compact 160GB device for </sarcasm>
Seriously, my AAC encoded library is 25GB encoded @ 320Kbps, and that's all CD's ripped. My collection isn't that big compared to others I know. Couple that with the fact that the device plays video (1GB a movie, if you do the better quality) and is an excellent bus-powered HD that fits in your pocket, and you've got a heckuva deal for $250.
My previous 30GB gen5 iPod I used for running VM's off of, install files, music, video, etc.

Not necessarily. I have spent $1500 on iTunes in this year alone, and we own 400 CDs with my husband (we are big audiophiles). However, a lot of our music that fill up our 60 GB library are legally free songs. Either Creative Commons ones, or promotional mp3s: http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2009/09/30/where-to-get-legally-free-...
