Too bad, I was hoping for a 320GB model!

DAMMIT SO I CANT LISTEN TO 100,000 SONGS IN A DAY!?!?

No 160 BG model anymore!? I guess I have to pray mine doesn't break down. a paltry 120 GB wont do for me.

Yes, I am both a file-hoarder and a lossless audio fan. I actually refused to jump on the iPod bandwagon until the 160GB model came out because it was the first time I could carry around almost everything I might listen to while out, but I was really hoping for a larger model as well because it is a pain to have to selectively remove genres and artists from my synch list whenever I want to add something new.

I'd really like to know if this is just to simplify selection or reduce costs and not because they had too many problems with the 160 GB and are perceiving a size limit for the device.

So the new Classic doesn't hold as much and doesn't last as long? I'd hardly call myself a "file hoarder" and I've never even seen an apple lossless file, but a reasonable music collection, and a hand-full of movies and TV series just about fills the Classic 160 for me.

Honestly, File Hoarders!? Wake up Donald, this new Classic is clearly a step backwards.

It just shows how hard drive players are closer to slow death
