Yes.
You need the discontinued "iPod" camera connector. (not to be confused with the iOS iPad camera connector)

They are for sale on Amazon (and of course at local thrift shops and electronics shops worldwide).

Presumably it works the same way as it does in iTunes. Therefore, you must wait for the song to change to the next one by ending for the reproduction count to be increased by one.
Clarifying Edit: The counter increases each time the song changes by it self, either to other one, if there is, or to the menu, if it was the last song of a play list. Therefore, ...

I have an alternative take on this problem:
I have just bought a Classic 160 Gb at Amazon few weeks ago and I have been facing the same issues as you.
I do not use Mac OS X, nor iTunes to sync. I run Linux and I use Media Monkey on a Windows VirtualBox Machine.
During the past two weeks I have tried everything that I could find. iTunes have not even been ...

It will work as you expect. However, a work around for first-track-will-be-played-most when using album shuffle is to have one or more intermediate playlists that take random samples from the library, e.g.,
Library 10 000 tracks
Playlist A selects 1 000 tracks from Library by random
Now if you play from A shuffled by album the first-track-effect will ...

The iPod classic has no NVRAM/PRAM or settings that degrade when battery power is disconnected. Unless you want to roll the risk that opening the device causes irreparable harm into the definition of "replacing the battery" - you are safe to go. Just like you can pull a hard drive and place it in a new computer - same with the drives in a classic iPod - ...

Replacing the battery in your iPod Classic should not wipe any of your music or data. All of the music and data stored on any iOS device is stored on either flash memory or in the case of the classic, an HDD. That being said, anytime you undertake a repair like this you always run the risk of encountering some sort of error that will require you to restore ...

It may be hard to give you a concrete yes/no answer, because things always can go wrong, and even if you get the battery replaced, you may break something in the process of getting it put back together. (The replacement procedure is quite an involved ordeal, as you are likely aware).
That said, I found this forum which caused me to dig into it a little ...

You could try running SpinRite on the disk, then trying again to get the files off.
SpinRite (among other things) talks the drive's internal error correction into working better so Windows or the iPod's OS can more-easily read the files.

There's ways and means of getting the iPod games but they're predominately illegal, if it's just those games you want I'd contact Apple as whilst they've probably stopped selling them somewhere they won't have gotten rid of them completely. If it's just a case of extra functionality and games for it I'd highly recommend looking at the Rockbox project which ...

I tried and failed to find a repository a while back, however if you're lucky, there are torrents for the complete archive which crop up sometimes. Obviously the torrents exist in multiple places, but there are rarely any seeders.
Obviously you'd have had to purchase them to be entitled to use them, and if you had purchased them, you wouldn't have been able ...
