I navigate my large library fairly well on the classic. It's just a matter of memorizing the order things are in. I also have a nanno, but I find it doesn't get the battery life that the classic does, and I like being able to carry all my music and movies in my pocket. :) I also have an iPad and an iPhone, but again, neither device lets me put all my music, apps, etc, on it.
