Is the Ipod classic gonna be discontinued?  I love it, I have two of the 160gb ones.

Is there a danger of the Ipod classic being discontinued?  I love it, and have two of them since i have such a big CD collection  I don't know what I would use if that went away.

We should not speculate about the future of an Apple product here.  A point to consider is why we need to carry around our entire music collection.
My music library is "only" about 45GB at this point.  I don't own any iPod that can hold it all, but that's not a problem for me, because 45GB is almost 20 days of continuous music.  I have no need to have all of THAT with me on an iPod.  A 160GB iPod would hold more than TWO MONTHS of continuous music.
I like to listen to my music in shuffle mode, which lets me hear songs I have not (intentionally) listened to in a long time, songs I forgot I had.  Even my 1GB iPod shuffle is sufficient to listen to my entire collection in shuffle mode.  I use the Autofill feature to randomly fill my shuffle from my complete music library, every time I connect it to my Mac to charge.  When I play that music, I am essentially shuffling a random selection of songs from my complete library.  So a 1GB shuffle lets me listen to my complete 45GB library in shuffle mode, over time.
On my 8GB iPod nano that I use for running, I have a "favorites" playlist that I sync from my iTunes library.  I also have Genius playlists that I have iTunes create for me, and I sync those to the nano.  This keeps the songs on my nano focused on songs that I like to hear, not random songs (so it's the opposite of how I use my shuffle).
I prefer to use the newer (smaller, lighter, and more durable) designs, and load them with songs smartly, not completely.
