- 1TB is no small task for a device made in the mid 2000's! Back when 80GB was a massive music player for the time.

I have no idea where all you people have come from! But I made this vid a little bit ago and I've learned a lot since:
You can run 1TB in a 5.5th gen, the limiting factor is HOW MANY songs you have, not how much space you use. So if you have a library full of big meaty FLACs then you can totally use 1TB. Providing it stays under 30,000 songs on a 5.5 gen and 50,000 on a 7th gen. The iPod was running out of RAM, it can't count high enough for the big library. It's why individual albums played fine but asking it to shuffle 40K songs was too much. But thankfully Shrek played fine.
I've also run this iPod with a safe 30,000 tracks and filled the rest as a hard dive full of random anythings. Literally like 500GB of junk and everything worked fine as a portable hard drive. Super neato. But it's still not the most reliable form of storing data... it's a 2007 iPod.
If you are keen on owning a 1TB iPod but don't feel like doing it yourself a fellow moderator in the iPod Discord has a balling ebay store selling prebuilts and just about every individual component imaginable for iPods: www.ebay.com/str/imapc941
Give me a heart :D

Thanks for the vídeo 🖤

Do I care about fixing an old iPod: no
But do I enjoy DankPods’ content: yes you gained a subscriber mate!
Hol Horse?!
I care
Look at the username😂
Stop making fun of people
His name, totally untrue xd
Pretty sure it can’t shuffle because there isn’t enough ram to store the random ordering.
Thats pretty much it. If you have huge FLAC files then 1TB is useful as even around 25k tracks will use a lot of storage.
It's all because of poor coding, and because of the fact, they were not made to handle this much storage.
If Apple wanted it had programmed the shuffle feature in a way that it factors the songs in segments and then out of that sector it can choose a random number according to that choose the segment and do this at most 5 times...
In this way it isn't going to take that RAM, the process will be a hell lot faster and the user can use the shuffle feature as usual
yeah lol that device wasn't designed with lossless music collections in mind.
Makes me sad, as I have finally reached 500GB in my lossless collection.
@@DankPods cool, I'm more of a build and see what works, haven't been into file types and ram pointers, limitations, and allocations since dos and C were the dominate creatures. Appreciate the reply.
Ipod classic was the first apple product i ever used. Got it as my 14th birthday present.
iPods were the top tier present, the tiny box felt so heavy.

Loving your videos! I built a 1TB 7th Gen a few years ago - with the U2 Limited edition aesthetic (red click wheel - black body and back)
Loved the process - even got the back case with a 1TB capacity laser etched in. Got the same big chungus battery but opted for the dual sd card iFlash setup at the time.
Still works like a dream.
Where did you get the new back??
@@wadewalker2785 @Wade Walker dunno where Dave L got it, but there's an online store called elite obsolete electronics has em in pretty much every colour. the guy that runs that store is where DankPods got the parts for this video, when he used to just be another ebay seller
Does shuffle still work? Seen comments that say you lose shuffle cuz the ram can’t handle it
This video makes me appreciate Aussie accents
😂
I'm an Aussie here in Australia.
Ah ye mate
Sounds hot as hell
I was appreciating Aussie accents all the way back with Kylie when she was in Neighbours. Hmmm, Kylie Minogue.
Me: i am going to shuffle songs
Ipod: nope you go to settings
its like those click button but it keeps moving away
CZcams music app does that when I try to shuffle songs in offline mode if I’m on a bad Wi-fi network, like in an elevator. That’s just an app glitch on my modern iPhone, then afterwards when I give up and don’t shuffle it tries to catch up with the failed requests and starts playing random songs for no reason.
@TheGameMakeGuy But does it have a TB of storage tho....
@TheGameMakeGuy until you drive through an area with less than great coverage, go into a subway, get throttled, or want to listen to a song not on spotify or the vid on YT gets hit with a copyright claim or 100x other things; also, ads. Also, ipod: costs nothing ever into the future and you own everything, your example: $100s per month, forever.
@TheGameMakeGuy good for you, I PROMISE that people here REALLY care about you and your data plan lmao.
Man I remember that feeling of putting all of your stuff on a device that you could take around with you for the first time.
I know man.. Miss that time. My ipod had a personality of its own.
@@tonyforshyr9381 of course you can do that with a smartphone, but since most people use the smartphone as their main device, it doesn't feel special anymore.

I recently found out that you can add SD cards to iPods and it's been in my new hobby!
I have enjoyed rebuilding them for years but adding the SD card just great
Its fun getting old tech to do modern stuff!
Do you sell them?
@@Serjical1 actually yes, have some now I'm reviewing. If interested shoot me a email
I did the same with two PowerBooks. Replaced their (still working but slow as h…) HDD with SD cards.
I think it'd be easier and more cost effective to just add a new hard drive to this iPod.
Didn't expect to see a video like this in 2019
Love it
You are not only one 😎
Expect it too see it in 2011
I loved my old ipod video. It was literally a time when apple was a solution and not a money grab. I used that thing as mobile storage lol. 60gb was a good amount back then.
I didn't hit like coz want to see 888 likes.

Your enthusiasm throughout the video was incredibly contagious. I've never owned an iPod, but I feel the absolute need to sub.
I can't possibly imagine what it must be like having *that* much storage space. I've had my 160GB iPod Classic (well, actually 124GB because blah blah that's just how it is) for several years now and I've only used up about 24GB of that.

I wish they would make a modern day iPod like this. Could you imagine an iPod with enough ram for a full tb full of movies and music? Maybe even with like a 1080p screen. I don't think 4k would be needed that small.
I agree with u
Maybe you could even make phone calls and surf the Internet with it
Isn't there an ipad that can do that?
The important question is: Would you pay for that?
@@diegov1743 but the point is to have a device that is dedicated to playing music you have, so you don’t have any commercials or need to pay monthly for a subscription.

I've never had an iPod, but this is tempting me to get one and mod it
Even the first ever ones have full support from Apple for restoring and syncing
Same i want to buy all the stuff and go awesome
Start with the iPod mini lineups, those are the easiest to mod. There still isn't a patcher to fix the maximum songs but I'm sure one exists on some part of the internet
Seeing this I wanna go find my old one lol.
Oh I've been looking into them, the downsides is they aren't Bluetooth meaning I cant use my favorite headset, and they don't use micro-usb chargers. Id maybe drop 50 on a cheap one because of the accessories id need, so I mayy just buy a microsd card to put my music on.

You'd have to make completely new innards......an ipod with a 24/96 dac would be interesting!

Not really that difficult, plenty of space in there. Just gut a minijack bluetooth receiver, hook it up to the battery and hardwire it to the minijack port pads.
The potential challenge(s) is/are range (if that back cover is metal), and arranging an on/off toggle so it doesn't drain the battery when not in use - accessible from the outside. Its doable, but a bit tricky to do well. It doesn't draw a lot of power though - those cheap BT4.0 round receivers you get from Mao's Candy Mountain for $2-3, has a board the length of about two microSDs and about 2/3rds the width of one - 3 ish mm tall. And a 60mA litium cell, which can run my old thirsty Bose QCs for a good 3-4 hours at fairly high volume. That's with continous audio output. Idle it'll draw far less. Depending on your usecase, that might be acceptable to leave on permanently. There's possibly some 3.7V+ lines you could hook into that aren't live when the iPod is sleeping, but where they are, and whether they csn tolerate such a parasitic load, I don't know.
Why not using BT LE? With that you could let it on for days...
@@jankow9687 Well to be on the fair, with BT4.0 I think LE support is optional. 4.1, included by default. However, very few BT _audio_ transmitters and receivers support it, at least the cheaper kind - because the principle is super low bitrate and only intermittent, periodical transmits. Like for example health and sports trackers. Pretty much the exact opposite of what (decent quality) audio transmission requires. Meaning the addition of LE is kinda wasted/pointless for that kind of device.
A 4.0 transmitter / receiver isn't gonna be a huge draw when idle. But it _will be_ there. And, some times bt devices bug out in terms of pairing. Which is another good reason why you'd want at least that power toggle accessible from the outside. Once you have that, powering it on/off is a nice addition if you're not using it for a while.
that pretty much defies the entire purpose of using an ipod classic in the first place... the main selling point being the dac n battery life. other then zune ipods had the best price to performance hardware during the ipod run. to this day outside of the lgv series phones nothing in the mobile market has a dac that comes close to the ones used in the 5th/7th gen ipod classic that doesnt cost several hundred dollars
@@zeroa69 And if you are using a Classic because of the DAC, bluetooth will just negate that advantage.
Imagine a remake of this video in 2045: Ipod classic from the dark ages outfitted with a few petabyte of glass storage
lol no possible. glass storage is end way storage solution
Is that all the imagination you got? *yawns*
Well micro sdxc format supports 2TB max. So all you can fit in these iPods is just 8TB. I wouldn’t even want that it would take a week to sync that much music and videos.
@@markm0000 If you collect music for all your life as FLAC and 320Kbps MP3s (the biggest file size possible) you won't even fill up 1 Tb.
@@markm0000 the ipod wouldn't let you have 8TB
