I mean.....ebay is absolutely full of either new or like-new iPods Classic in any capacity you want, I know it's annoying that apple doesn't sell them anymore but if you want one it's not exactly difficult to get one.
It was lack of rockbox that prevented me using ipod "classic" -- I see the classic port is still listed as unstable. I'm a mac user but I have never understood how iTunes is to be used.
Indeed you are correct. I merely regret that they added features in ulterior iterations that were at best accessory to what originally set them apart.
I mean, look at how the role of iTunes evolved!
