So is it just the memory you upgraded or the OS too? I don't think their is a lot of customisation that can be done for an Ipod classic. Can it actually read the additional memory?
It's a classic, so no memory: just a hard drive. I had it swapped out for a much larger solid state disk (which is both faster and more energy-efficient). But yeah, aside from battery and hard drive there is nothing much you can do to meaningfully update an iPod Classic. (So no updating the OS or anything).

Interesting. It may well be I need to switch over at one point.
Thing is that I really, really, really love the iPod MP3 player. It still is hands down the very best designed MP3 player ever. Especially the click/scroll wheel is absolutely genius. There is no player I know that comes even close.
- battery doesn't last as long, but depending on settings can last a full day
That's not very long at all though!
Or do you mean on continuous play? For standby mode I think it's actually awful: the iPod can last in standby mode for well over three weeks!
- Also no headphone jack
I hate that so much as well!
I hear ya on the zillions of wired headphones laying about. Same here!
What really bugs me is that I can get a really good sound with some $10 - $40 wired in-ear phones, but a similar experience with wireless will easily set me back three to four times that amount!
And indeed the continuous charging is a pain.
I know, I know...way of the future. And I'm sure I'll get used to it.
But still...
If you need a second opinion on testing things out though
Well, actually I'd be really interested to learn whether or not something like my problem happens also on YOUR mobile player (i.e. your android one).
Do audiobooks also just appear as a list of files?
Or do you see them as folders/albums?
(And do you have bookmarking enabled?)
Also why so many files for audiobooks, is it a new file per chapter?
Can be.
Sometimes it makes no sense to me either: I have some Doctor Who audio dramas from Big Finish, and especially in the older versions some "scenes" are just a minute long! So you get one story that is cut up in 40-70 "chapters"!
Didn't really bother me, but it IS a nightmare when you have to scroll through (which is the problem right now).
