I don't have a Classic, but it seems it just has that CoverSlide or whatever it's called, and a few more games available (though I think Rockbox still beats it in this regard, especially if you count Rockboy and ZXBox).
Check Wikipedia:

= the 5/.5 is cheaper ;D

If you're not stuck on iPods, you might be better served by a Gigabeat F/X.

1) well i need gaplless play, does a gigabeat do that?

2) Is there a noticeable difference in sound quality between AAC and Flac?

Rockbox does that - so yes.

Apples and oranges.  AAC is a lossy codec, FLAC is a lossless codec.  That being said you are best served reading about codecs at the HydrogenAudio.org wiki.  Best place to learn.  (Note I said read the wiki, if you value your internet hide you will read before posting to those forums.)

Thanks for the info, I also see there is apple lossless.  The apple store is now selling classic refurbished for 179.  I'm torn between the two but don't know if 
I want to mess with all the instillation of rockbox on the 5.5.
