I charged the iPod and played it for a good 30 minutes and the battery remained near full. I can't say exactly how long it holds a charge but long enough to listen to a CD's worth of tracks. The screen is mint. There are some light dings and scratches on the body as I try and show in the photos. It comes with some music pre-installed. Includes old 30 pin charging cable (no power supply) and new Apple headphones. Also tested the camera and it works good as well. See pictures for more details.
