Audio/Voice Recorder for iPod [video] classic 160 GB Silver 6th Generation?

Hi, I'm looking for a voice recorder for my iPod, but I'm not sure which ones are compatible with my version, and which one is best.
i.e. Belkin TuneTalk, Griffin iTalk, etc. (I don't know which one is compatible, and then which one is best.)
This is the iPod I have:
Apple iPod classic 160 GB Silver (6th Generation)
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPod-classic-Silver-Generation/dp/B000JO7RVC
I've been doing research on the matter, but due to conflicting reports, I am left in ultimate confusion.
So I thought it would be best to ask the experts.
Thanks!

tunetalk & classic: No way.
I am having endless trouble with Belikin Tunetalk stereo & IPOD classics.
I've asked Belkin & Apple & had nothing useful.
background: Been using Belkin tunetalk stereos (2) with 2 Ipod 5G (video) for more than a year. They work ok: [given the well know issues of harddrive noise picked up with internal microphones.]
Two modes available: "low" 22050 MONO & "high" 44100 Stereo
Had a ipod die on me, so upgraded to classics.
Recorded away, got nothing but 44100 MONO. Not supposed to be able to do this mode. & since I was recording TWO channels, I lost data. Belkin site says for classics only with the lastest software".
I've reflashed the ipods multiple times I one ipod records only mono (BLACK), the other (SILVER) records about 1 in 10 mono. Of course you can't tell till you're done whether you're going to get mono or stereo!
As iDude80n said about asking experts? Any one know if I go buy TWO MORE ipods, eg nanos, will these things actually work? Will post as separate question.

Ipod classic 160 usb not recognized

Ipod Classic 160 (not recognized by computer) and under Ipod Diagonistics (no Ipod found). I have two other Ipods which I-Tunes and my computer recognizes. I have reset Ipod to no avail. Because I am unable to connect to I-Tunes with the Ipod I am unable to restore or reset. I have watched all the YouTube videos and followed each. One thing that is strange is it will not test or disconnect from disk mode. I really enjoyed this I pod and hope one of you can resolve this problem for me. Thanks

Howdy spacecraft24,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I gather, your iPod classic isn’t recognized by iTunes on your PC. Take a look at the article linked below and try running through the troubleshooting suggestions that it provides.

Problems in compatibility of iPod radio remote with iPod classic 160 GB

Hi all,
I have just bought a iPod classic 160 GB and want to buy a iPod radio remote as well. However, after I have done my research, I find the radio remote is not compatible with iPod classic perfectly…
Do you think it is a good idea for me to wait a new radio remote (maybe) or later Apple will release update?
Thanks

I use my Radio Remote with a Classic; it does everything that it had with my 5G-Video EXCEPT it will not allow me to set radio stations, either with the Radio Remote's control or the iPod's control.
I have spoken with an iPod specialist (Apple Care) and according to him Apple has acknowleged less than 100% compatibility/functionality with the Radio Remote and the Classics. One of the reasons, he stated, was that several 5G-Video iPods were "getting fried" when the Remote was not fully connected to the docking-port. So Apple has decided to reengineer the port [for better a connection, I gather]. What puzzles me the most about the new generation of iPods is why they were rolled out without warning customers that their Car-Charger, Video Player, dock, AV Cable, or APPLE'S OWN Remote will not play nice with each other!
This go around, it's find out the hard way.

In ITunes,
my library was about 55 G. I have a Ipod Classic 160 G. I synchronised my IPod
on ITunes and I checked the tag Convert
songs with a throughput greater than 128 kbit / s ACC before
synchronisation I took maybe 6 hours to synchronise, and afterward my library was
about 42 G. All my tunes, more than 9500, seem still be in library. Most of my
library is from music purchased in ITunes store along with copies on my old CDs
an some MP3 files from other discs. This is good for me but what happened?

This is good for me but what happened?
I don't understand the question... Did something happen that you think should not have happened?
It took such a long time to sync, because iTunes was converting songs with bit-rate higher than 128 kbps "on the fly" while syncing. That takes much longer than just syncing the songs.
Also, since you have so much space on your iPod (compared to the size of your music library), you should not use that "convert to 128 kbps AAC" setting. For songs that are encoded higher than 128 kbps, the conversion reduces sound quality. You may want to uncheck Sync Music and Apply, to remove the songs on the iPod currently, and then sync it all again without the "convert" setting checked this time.

Classic-160 Continues To Crash

My iPod Classic-160 is the third one in my possession; the other two have been brought back to Apple and replaced-cheerfully. All have misbehaved in the same, exact way; they crash when a command is implemented in conjunction with a large playlist (in the 20,000 to 33,000 song range).
In some instances the iPod will crash (or freeze) immediately when selecting the first (or any) song to play in a large list. Many times the iPod will play the music yet if I push the menu button, it crashes.
The following are the troubleshooting steps I have taken:
1: Restore-many times. 2: Resets-countless times. 3: Firmware update (somewhat improved the performance; prior to the update the iPod would crash if I even looked at it! 4:Trashed-iTunes then downloaded and installed fresh copy. 5: Trashed iTunes library files (Data and .xml) and started over with a fresh App & library. 6: Ran every media file through the Tech Tool Pro gauntlet and it found nothing corrupted. 7: Resynced my old 5G iPod Video, filling it up with 70 GBs of assorted media files. It plays as flawlessly as ever.
Please chime in if you know any trouble-shooting steps that I may have missed and that could help.

Identical symptoms, no solution to offer though! Surely this is the sort of thing that constitutes a stress-test, without which the "160Gb iPod" isn't signed-off and is therefore a misnomer.
Thanks for telling me the restore didn't work though- after having many problems syncing, I've found I have to do it piecemeal over three days, and if it's not going to solve the problem, I'll not waste my time (everything else works).... I'll just wait for the software to get up to speed with the unit!

Will charger that comes with iPhone 3GS charge my new iPod classic 160?

I have an iPhone 3GS; which comes with a charger. I recently purchased a new iPod classic 160; which doesn't come with a charger.
Will the iPhone charger charge my iPod without damaging it?
It appears to work (shows it's charging), but I want to make sure they're compatible.
Thanks.

Yes, I have the same question- the old classic came with the charger (the rectangular white one). We travel alot and don't take our laptops with us so we need to charge ipods with chargers. So we can still use the one that works with our old classic or the new one, right?

My ipod classic 160 gb suddenly became 0 kb free after i restored it to factory setting

my ipod classic 160 gb suddenly became 0 kb free after i restored it to factory setting. it should be a lot more. I dont know what to do with it. I tried resetting it, but it still says "0 kb free" in the setting area.

For your info,
restored it to factory setting
means erasing everything in your iPod, and putting back factory defaults, ie no music.
read this Apple Support Article on Restore
You must have music in your iTunes Library and then press SYNC button in iTunes, which will populate the iPod.
Watch this Apple Support video on Sync iPod
If you dont have any music in your iTunes library or somewhere in your PC, then buy some or import from CDs.
Have a nice day!

How can i enjoy Z+ music on ipod classic 160 GB.

Hello guys, i am using ipod classic 160 GB and i have a query regarding listening of Z+ music on ipod classic. Does anybody know about this, how to do this.

iPod Classic only supports Music (and videos and photos), but not apps. If you want to listen to Hans Zimmer music on the iPod Classic, buy the music if you don't own it already and sync the iPod through iTunes.

Classic 160 slow

My Classic 160 is terribly slow when switching between hierarchical subfolders. It is filled to about 50% with music. It is especially slow when music is played along and "menu" is pressed to return to top level.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rudi

I am having same issue with hierarchical playlists on my 160gb classic...... was so happy when Apple finally added IPOD support for them, as I have been using them since Itunes added the feature. However its just disappointing! Takes 20-30 seconds to go from a folder back to the main list. I find it quicker just to search by album which is against the point of having the hierarchical support.
I even went as far as to cut back my folders to groups like "dance, pop, audio books" etc in the hope it would speed up loading the main list, but it didn't help.....
Apple bring on 1.0.3 already! Or at least admit there is a fault! Am onto my second classic now as Tech Support recommended I exchange it. Call them again to say the new one does the same, they say "It must be your computer because we have had no other reports about this". I told them about the forum posts, Youtube videos, even asked them to do a google search and see. But again "Yes maybe is same issue as you, problem with computer or operating system".
GRRRRRRRRRRR

IPod Classic 160 Gb - iTunes is SLOW and where are my Podcasts?

I just upgraded to an iPod Classic 160. I have experienced 2 problems, but not with album art.
First, iTunes is very slow. It seems to freeze for minutes at a time when performing any operations on it.
Secondly, I have a lot of Podcasts - both video and audio.
I can download them with no problem. I can see them in the contents pane in iTunes for my computer. I can play them in iTunes and I can sync them with my new iPod (apparently).
However, they do NOT show up on my iPod. The new contents screen shows No Podcasts. When I do a search for them they show up as songs and I can heard the video podcast soundtracks.
In iTunes with my iPod connected they show up under both the iTunes directory and in the iPod Directory immediately after syncing. However, if I eject and then reconnect the iPod, upon reconnection they no longer show up in iTunes in the iPod directory.
I am assuming this is a bug with either iTunes 7.4.x in the way it categorizes Podcasts or it is an OS issue with the iPod. I have the latest versions of iTunes, the latest SW and Firmware updates for the iPod and have rebooted to assure that the latest versions are the ones running.
Anyone else experience these? Anyone find solutions?
Thanks.

I'm having very similar problems.
In addition to iTunes becoming completely unusable for a few minutes (completely frozen) when I plug in to sync and recharge, the unit itself seems to periodically hang for more than a few seconds as I navigate the menu.
My podcasts disappear from my iPod classic every time I sync, whether or not I listened to them.
Every once in a while it just shuts off and requires a manual restart to come back on.
The battery seems to drain far faster than what makes sense, and all I do is listen to music. Two hours into my listening time and the battery meter says its almost a quarter drained!
At this point the thing keeps randomly rebooting for no reason when I am using it. Also, as I'm typing this, I heard the click of death from the hard drive.
One thing of note though, I noticed that I had set up LastFM with the thing when I first got it. I doubt it would cause half the issues here, but it is a variable to consider.
I have restored this device three times since it arrived. In addition, I'm finding myself restarting it at least twice if not more per day.
I have put in a request to warranty this thing. This soon after ordering it, and after all the things I've done, my experience screams that this unit is defective. Either that, or Apple is gonna need to issue a recall. I really hope it is just the former.

Discussion: backing up or restoring from my Ipod Classic 160

Recently I had a hard disk problem on my PC and had a new disk installed as H drive. I use Windows XP home edition and H is now the start up drive.
The previous hard disk remains as C drive.
I have had major problems restoring the backed up music from an external hard drive that I thought had my entire music library backed up. But apparently not so.
Anyway, right now I am satisfied that my Ipod Classic 160 has my entire music library (approx 12000 songs) on it and is working satisfactorily. (I purchased the Ipoc Classic 160 earlier this year to replace a defective Ipod Classic 120 and at that time the Itunes library synched perfectly with the new Ipod.
Similarly, when I open Itunes it shows my music library and playlists as they should be.
I have purchased a third party software (CopyTrans) with the view of restoring my Ipod and its contents and hopefully again synchronising it with Itunes.
But I am not sure the best way to go. I dread the thought of doing something that could compromise the data on my Ipod Classic 160 because it seems the only place where my entire music library is intact.
I can't explain how or why files are missing from my hard disk (H drive) or external back up (J drive).
I've contacted Apple support and they have been most helpful as far as they can be. They can't assist with advice of getting the data back from my Ipod Classic 160 and again synchronising with Itunes.
I am conscious of the old saying that a little knowledge is sometimes worse than none at all and am rather nervous about what I need to do so any advice or assistanct would be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation

I think I know what you're trying to do, and I know how to do it, but I'm not entirely sure. if you want the songs, pictures, etc. that are on your iPod to transfer to your computer, there is a way of doing that simply through the computer its self. without buying anything. it's entirely free and legal. and then if I'm understanding correctly, you have an external hard drive that you want all of those songs on. so if I were to tell you how to take the songs from your iPod, put them on your computer, and then move them from your computer to an external hard drive, would that answer your question? because, if so, I can tell you how to do that, but if thats not the answer you're looking for, then I can't be sure exactly what the question is that you're asking. sorry, hope I can be of help..

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode. I responds to nothing. iTunes doesn't recognize it. It doesn't sync. I've tried to restore and got error 1429. Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off. I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead. Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

My Ipod Classic 160 GB will charge but is not recognized on my macbook or in itunes. Just began suddenly

I purchased my Ipod Classic 160 GB about a year ago new and never had any issues until lately. I recently updated my itunes to the newest version and my Ipod seemed fine and didn't have any trouble. About a week later my Ipod was no longer recognized by Itunes or my Mac book. The catch is, that my Ipod is still able to charge but never shows any signs of connection besides the charging screen. I have no clue where to begin.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks

Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
If your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version
