What's Cool

it's now possible to sync and take your entire iTunes library (especially large ones) with you where ever you go!
when disk mode is enabled in your iTunes client the NEW iPod classic becomes a serious Data Back-Up device for your critical work and personal files – e.g. special project folders and files, your entire email library, you name it! all safely backed-up and clipped to your hip!
of all the new user interface features on the iPod classic we think Search is one of the coolest. It helps you quickly find songs, albums and artists you're looking for within big iTunes libraries or large iTunes play lists loaded on your iPod
this is an excellent, all around awesome iPod for a first time buyer and/or a great one to move up to no matter what device you own today. It's particularly well suited to the hard-core music / movie / media fan who has lots of .m4v encoded movie files and a large iTunes library... and hey, if iPod's with massive hard disks are good enough for Peter Jackson & Frodo, this new iPod classic is more than good enough for us!

Good Stuff to Know

VIDEO: This BeamEcho TechTidbit sort of falls into the category of encoding but you can use Quicktime Pro to convert almost any video file (e.g. .mov, .mpg, .mp4, .avi etc.) into the .m4v format which allows you to then import into iTunes, sync, and then view the video on your new iPod classic... and for you hard core Movie fans, you can use Handbrake or iSquint software to rip (convert) your own DVD's into the .m4v format, import them into your iTunes library and sync them to your new iPod classic – so you can watch all your favorite movies on the GO! You can also export your own favorite existing iMovie projects into the .m4v iPod video format for loading, syncing and viewing on your iPod classic!
AUDIO: with such high capacity storage (80GB and 160GB) you can now encode your own CD music at much higher quality bit rates which dramatically improves your iPod listening experiences – especially on high quality home stereo equipment, portable speakers and/or high quality personal headphones / ear buds
PHOTO: the new iPod classic can now hold up to 25,000 photos from your iPhoto library!

Great Add-Ons

We've been playing with Turbo264 from Elgato for a while and love it for encoding H.264 video so you can quickly create, import, sync and view a wide range of video on your iPod Classic!
