IPOD Classic 80gb Says Full But Isn't

With your iPod connected go to iTunes and click on your iPod then go to the overview/summary. Should tell you how much space you have. Maybe your album covers are taking up a lot of space? Also it holds 15,000 songs based on each song being 3 minutes long(3 or 4...not sure). So if you have a 12 minute long song that's 4 out of 15,000...

I have the same issue. When I go to summary it says I have 8.9 gig in other. What gives. I have deleted all album art and all games what the heck is other and why is it hogging 8 gigs

The storage space taken up by "Other" can be made up of, notes or files of any kind you've added to the iPod whilst using it as a hard disk or album artwork. Or sometimes when the iPod data base has become corrupt.

There will always be a few MBs of used space under "other" but if it's in GBs it's unusually large. This often happens when the iPod data base becomes corrupt.

If the iPod is enabled for disk use, you can look at the folders on the iPod through Explorer or Finder and delete anything you don't want.

Otherwise, see how to restore the iPod to factory settings which will erase the iPods contents and reclaim the used space.

Then reload the music from iTunes.
