Genius Mixes Now there's another great way to get a customized set of songs on iPod nano--have Genius do all the work. Introducing Genius Mixes. All you do is sync your iPod nano to iTunes, and Genius automatically searches your library and finds songs that sound great together to create up to 12 Genius Mixes. These mixes are like channels programmed entirely with your music. It's a great way to rediscover songs you haven't listened to in forever, and some you even forgot you had. Go with the Cover Flow View your album art in Cover Flow for a faster way to find the song you want to hear. Or just press and hold the center button to flip the album cover art over so you can see the songs. When you find the right song, press the center button to add it to your on-the-go playlist. Shake to Shuffle Your Music Hear songs in a totally random way. Just turn on Shake to Shuffle, then give iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. You never know what iPod nano will spin for you next. Don't Just Listen to the Radio, Pause it and Tag it, Too The new FM tuner lets you see the names of songs and artists. And two amazing features--iTunes Tagging and Live Pause--make listening to the radio nothing like listening to the radio. FM Radio--it Gives You Yet Another Way to Rock There's always something great on the FM dial. And now the FM tuner lets you hear your favorite morning shows on your commute and discover new music while you work out. It even shows you what and who you're listening to.1 With Live Pause, You'll Never Miss a Beat Say you need to take a quick break from listening to your favorite radio station. iPod nano lets you pause it with a click. Another click and you're listening to your station again. You can even rewind as far back as 15 minutes, then fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast. iTunes Tagging--the New-Fashioned Way to Discover Music It's quite a dilemma: You're listening to the radio and you hear a song you like, but when you go to iTunes, you can't remember the name or even who sings it. Enter iTunes Tagging. Now, you can use the Click Wheel on iPod nano to tag the song. iTunes creates a list of all your tagged songs so you can easily preview or purchase them when you sync iPod nano to iTunes. VoiceOver--the Talk of the Music World VoiceOver tells you the title and artist of the songs you listen to. And does it so seamlessly, you'll be surprised at how brilliant it is. Let's Talk VoiceOver What if you're listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist? Just use the Click Wheel or the controls on the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic and VoiceOver tells you the song name and who's performing it without interrupting your music. So you're never distracted from your ride or run by looking down at your screen. The nano now includes an FM radio with iTunes Tagging and Live Pause functions. Capture a thought, a reminder, a class lecture, or any audio recording you want with Voice Memos. The new Pedometer counts every step you take. Or add Nike+ shoes and a Nike + iPod Sport Kit for the perfect workout partner. How it Works You'll notice how smoothly and easily VoiceOver works. A lot of thought went into creating an iPod nano that not only talks, but says the right things. It all begins with iTunes and its seamless integration with iPod nano. First, iTunes reads your song information, then uses the VoiceOver Kit to generate the announcements for the songs, artists, and playlists. Just sync your iPod nano to your computer and it really speaks to you. It Speaks Multiple Languages Your music library has songs from all over the world--a love song from France, a bolero from Spain, a pop tune from Japan. Luckily, VoiceOver speaks fluent song. iTunes selects the language and best voice for your song titles and artist names. It looks at song data, like the title, artist, and album information, then applies intelligent algorithms to choose the right language. For example, iTunes recognizes the song "Ya Viene el Sol� by Ozomatli as a Spanish song, so your iPod nano will automatically speak that song title and artist in Spanish. If you prefer to hear that information spoken in another language, you can change the designated VoiceOver language for that song in iTunes. Hit the Ground Running--Or Walking With the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (sold separately) and a built-in pedometer to help keep you motivated and track your fitness progress, iPod nano makes working out less routine. Step it up with the New Pedometer You take your iPod nano with you everywhere. Why not use it to stay fit? iPod nano now doubles as a Pedometer. It uses the built-in accelerometer to keep track of your steps and help you meet your fitness goals. You can create a daily step goal or set it to Always On so it counts all the steps you take, all the time. Which makes iPod nano the ideal exercise partner. Rock and Run Your shoes and your iPod nano team up to maximize your run. See the minutes tick by. Watch the miles unfold. Hear real-time voice feedback. All to your favorite music, including your chosen Power Song--that one song that always gets you through the home stretch. Rock the Gym Take Nike + iPod to the gym and minute by minute, mile by mile, you're motivated by more than music. Connect your iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine. Record your pace, time, and distance as you work out. With iPod nano, every trip to the gym becomes a new challenge. Sync When you're finished, connect your iPod nano to your Mac or PC. iTunes automatically sends your workout data to nikeplus.com. Every workout and every run is there, ready for you to review. Get pumped for your next run with recommended challenges, custom training programs, and maps of new routes to try. Or share motivation with runners across the world. Note to Self: Voice Memos Are Here The built-in mic lets you capture a thought, a reminder, a class lecture, or any audio recording you want with Voice Memos. iTunes: Your Greatest Hits It's even easier to organize, browse, grow, and share your digital music and video collection with the new iTunes. And now you can save items with a wish list and enjoy iTunes extras--bonus features on select albums and movies--like lyrics, photos, interviews, and behind-the-scenes media.

I just love the size/function and this is my 3rd one over ...
I HAD to have this 5th generation Nano with the video camera!! I just love the size/function and this is my 3rd one over the years (the others I broke being careless). The 8GB versions didn't have the best reviews and I wanted more space anyway, so I went with the 16 GB. Since they discontinued this 5th generation Nano, the only one's to find in circulation (without buying a brand new one for $500, I think was the cheapest I saw) are used. I was worried about buying used, BUT it works great and barely had any wear and tear on it!! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because when I plugged it into my iTunes, it said there was an "error with the device". BUT it let's me sync my songs to it without an issue! So, I'll change my review if it gives me a problem within the warranty period, but until then, I'm very happy with it!! Highly recommended!!

It's good for what it is
It is what I expected since I didn't want to upgrade and I had a desire to replace my old one out of nostalgia. It's good for what it is. There are obviously better gadgets with better advancements made since this generation but I wanted to keep it old school. It serves my purposes as long as I remember to charge if fully before I have to use it. From my experience it doesn't go 30 hours strong but I don't need it to last for 30+ hours or else I would have gotten a newer generation. Just know what to expect. I like the aesthetic look to it but if I wanted something that lasted longer I would have gotten something else. Overall I like this product very much. Just know that higher expectations are made for newer toys.

Almost the 'perfect' iPod, but it could use one more thing.......
I think the newest Apple iPod Nano is the best they make in all categories save one; Storage.16 gigabytes is just not enough storage, I'm always having to cut down on the size of my playlists and I don't want to!Every time I buy a new album I have to fret over what I'm going to have to delete to make room for it. That's just aggravating.I hope next year they go for 32 gigabytes, I wouldn't mind a little thickness, right now it's just a bit thicker than a U.S. nickel.I'm a big fan of Audiobooks and they take up a lot of room, so if you just want music 16 gig is fine, it's probably more than you can play before the battery needs a recharge, and believe me, thats very good.All that said, it's the best model they've ever made!The design is great, the feature set incredible, the new colors are fantastic, and they are tough! I've dropped it, gotten it wet, it still marches on. I'll admit I never use the video camera, but I tried it when I first got it and it works great. My iPod is on for about eight hours a day, every day, and thats about all you can expect for the battery, a bit less for video.Way to go Apple!

Even my bad seller's quality of shipment cannot bring this bad boy down.
I am officially an advocate of buying Apple products even if they have been used and abused. I really don't know why Apple didn't keep do this design in the first place. It has always been my favorite and my 3rd Gen 8GB Nano lasted me almost 6 years until the lock broke and was unserviceable.I have tons of music, but want a portable ipod unlike the big brothers of this one and it still kicks plenty even though this is over three years old itself. No issues with the battery whatsoever and I plan on keeping this for a long time to come.On another note, my shipper was pretty pathetic. There was glue of some tape or other adhesive all over the back of this particular one and I spent 15 minutes with alcohol to get it off. No damage to the impressive anodized coating Apple uses. I would buy this model until something with more space and same size at this price comes out.

Very good product if you just want to listen to music
If you plan on just listening to music, this is excellent. Overall easy to use, customize the menus to have specific menu options that you want. Very durable, i dropped it off my top bunk about 8 feet off the ground (with a crystal clear plastic case on) and the case broken open and the ipod survived. Ive dropped it from 4 feet about 5 times with the clear crystal plastic case and its fine, working perfectly. You can make it so the screen automatically goes black after 2 seconds, 5 seconds, and so on, (then when you press any button with the "lock" shifted off, it automatically turns back on) You can "long-click" specific albums, artists, or songs, and you have the option to add them to an "on-the-go" playlist which is helpful. I have about 900 songs on it and its perfect. Never had a problem with the battery, it can charge VERY QUICKLY, plug it in for like 15 minutes and it will be almost full charge (80-90%)

Good, sturdy iPod. Occasionally have to do soft reset
I still prefer the small unitasker iPod to larger touchscreen MP3 players since I travel often and have to leave the thing in the bottom of my bag a lot. iPod is well-built and I have not had any hardware problems with it. It has been dropped on the ground more times than I can count and I have always had it turn on.Most people probably know what 16Gb can hold by now, but it has been ample for me. I haven't even filled up the disk with music or podcasts yet.One complaint - occasionally the song will start skipping a few seconds ahead every ~five seconds and I have to do a soft restart by pushing the middle and top buttons together. It seems to have something to do with heat, as it most commonly happens in my pocket at the gym. It is not frequent enough to be a big problem (maybe happens once per month) but still a minor annoyance.
