    My girlfriend just presented me with an early christmas present!

    iPod Classic 160GB (black) engraved :] !

    It's awesome, but a quick question:
    It says there's a "Radio" option but I can not find it. Under Settings->Main Menu, I made sure to put a check mark next to "Radio" however it still will not show up. Any body know why?

    Im going on a long road trip on sunday (Pro Football day) and i'd love nothing more then to browse AM channels on my iPod....but now that I think about it, my dads mp3 player has a Radio too but only plays FM.

    Feedback appreciated.

    I am not to sure but I do not think the new classics come with AM/FM radios. And what happened with your macbook got it fixed?

    I'm pretty sure none of Apple's iPods have a radio built in... so I'm guessing the option is there in case you connect a radio tuner accessory.

    Anyway, enjoy your iPod... 160 gb is a crazy amount of storage!

    funny you should ask....well lots of stuff happened since the stupid mistake of minicd lodged in my op drive. the day after i got the op drive jammed, i took it to the Genius Bar where they assured me that NOTHING would happen to my normal computing, and to bring it back when i can afford to be without it for 4 days. Anyways, two days later my hard drive failed, giving me the blue screen. My friend/genius came over to try and fix it, nope... Take it back to a DIFFERENT apple store, and recommended a specific genius by the name of RAJOD..laugh...(highly recommended) He took the laptop to the back dept. and returned 5 minutes later with a miniCD in his hand, and a box, which had my new 120GB in it. 10 minutes later I walked out with a brand new HD installed (i did leopard myself, cause i didnt wanna wait for them to install it) and no miniCD in my op drive. Guess what else? Applecare took care of it all! <3 Apple.... (sometimes hehe)

    there is a certain headphone that you can get from apple that has a remote in the line which contains the fm reciever, which then activates the radio option on the ipod.
