I especially have nothing to add to the review of the player iPod Classic, who wrote Sasha Dembowski for almost a year ago. So, a bit of personal experience, a bit of fantasy, a drop of comparison and a bit of displeasure. Nevertheless, this player stands apart from all other players in the world. Live Classics, which is completely accessible to everyone. True, we need not for everyone.
Form
It so happened that in our version of coexisting multiple users iPod Classic. Not only new and old versions - and in all cases the thickest, at one hundred and sixty gigabytes. Eldar carry a certain part of your music library, Artem uses the "classics" to transfer files and all personal disk imaging, another "vneshtatnik" and even drags in the depths of memory, all sorts of anime series in large quantities. Your humble servant uses the Classic only for its intended purpose, I collected the best bits of their music library in the bowels of this player and appeal to favorite tunes when your heart desires. But, generally, want to talk about the form. Thus, an updated form of the player are the same, I really like the look of this iPod, the front panel is made of thick silver plastic perfectly in harmony with other technology Apple ... But the rear panel is that you want to look into the eyes of the man who invented the mirror. It zalyapyvaetsya. It rubs. It killed at such a rate that boggles the mind. I very carefully communicate with the technique, but still, she does not admire and use in their daily activities. In the end, the player - a tool that you listen to it in the car, connected to an internal music system, are using during jogging, includes on the job, sinhroniziruesh and charged at home. Why, why could not make the back panel is exactly the same as the front? It's very logical to. In addition, and appearance would be an order of magnitude better. In general, I do not like it. The sample came to my already slightly shabby, and a month of use you yourself can see what he has become.
In appearance and more particularly to say nothing, all same-Classic, tightly knit, with a large navigation wheel and so on. Classics. But we want to believe that the next reincarnation yuudet yet fully aluminum. Enough of mirror surfaces, as if it was not pretty, is applied on time.
Something with my memory has become
As everyone knows, the updated model uses a hard drive with 120 GB on this parameter in the model there are no competitors. It is clear that you need so many not all, and indeed, Classic played in a very narrow niche. As competitors we can write any hellish PMP, some of the players that our country is not for sale, but they do not nastolkko compact, not so easy to use and, in fact, in competition to record them pretty stupid. We assume that among the players with a really large number of memory Classic reigns alone, worthy of respect.
Is it much or little, one hundred twenty gigs? Hmm, I type the text on the laptop called Sony Vaio P, is hard disk to the sixty gigabytes. Nearby lies iPhone, in which 16 GB of memory. Under the TV is Apple TV, in the depths of which is "hard" at the forty gigs, but still there is Sony PS3 with the same amount of memory. A lot or a little, one hundred twenty gigs? Believe me, I tried very well, choosing only the best-loved songs. I wanted to build the library, wherever entered favorite music. As a result, pluchilos hundred gigabytes - this is just the cream, the time-tested. That is, there are still plenty of room for all, for example, converted serials. The answer to the question about the place for me personally it is not necessary - the place many, many, even more than enough. I know people who have and it is not enough, but such units.
And in this way, and is all the narrowness of the niche in which plays Classic. Most consumers are not quite enough there eight or sixteen gigabytes, and even four. Moreover, these gigabytes are not filled completely. Imagine a man who listens to music, buys something at the store, something shakes with torrents, something shakes from any pirate site. He is not worried about ordering and neatness - downloaded, listened to on your computer, something tossed into the player, something removed, because lose one's attraction. Normal because the script, right? So, this guy Classic hardly likely to appeal, he and the size is not the baby, and indeed, why so much memory?
I do believe that Classic - the player is not for the young, it's for forty years. I think that at this age, many have already formed an extensive baggage and ceases to strive for "novem", and constant updating. Quietly and slowly you can make up for this player is correct, and a large library and then just listen to music and charge as needed. Here's the scenario I personally use for Classic and preach. Maybe this is not correct, but I like it.
Contents
Alas, as it was not good form and content in general, if you look at the root, then floats painted the main drawback of this player - no matter the sound quality. I tried with the Classic pieces are seven different headphones, ranging from complete and ending with all sorts of wild models worth ten thousand. Shure on the photo, hidden in cheholchik is some intermediate version, with the player plays a lot better ... but still sounds to me empty, there is no comfort that arises when using models from Sony. Intellectually I understand that we must play with the EQ and the quality of most music, but my only doubt that these will bring an exciting experience as a significant benefit. Not that sound really bad, not at all - just not, so to speak, merge in ecstasy. Therefore often have to use Classic as a sort of portable Boombox by connecting it to a car, a musical center, then somewhere else. I recall that about the functions and in general the player can read a review of Sasha Dembowski, my same modest role has been reduced to a simple expression of feelings for this model. Love and hate. Yes, there are still a number of films that were prepared for the player, but in the end, so I did not take a view. Small screen for this purpose, after all, is not suitable.
In a review of new headphones, I wrote about the fact that their presence adds to the capabilities of the player recording voice notes feature, too, can use the Classic as a voice recorder. That's just ridiculous - seem to be the 2009th year in the yard.And the lack of radio are also simple, I believe, not all.
Conclusions
In our country the player is worth about eleven thousand, given the lack of competition with an equally large number of onboard memory, plus an image charge, plus a big name - seems to be grabbing and running. However, wait. If you ever drop picky about sound quality, if the life had to deal with players, Sony or Cowon, I would advise you to stop and think carefully. Maybe it is better to model on eight gigabytes of one of the above companies? Maybe when we will be forty, then there and pull on the classic final? I do not know. I generally like most iPhone (smiley).
