Offline is the new luxury.🖤
No shit my friend, no shit....
True! ❤
💯
The crazy thing is that we aren't given a choice to live a life without the internet. It's been forced on us. Sure we can say no, but often at huge cost
Having things in your smartphone's memory, always was a luxury, recently with the “cloud” trend this has changed
I pray Apple is listening to you. A new iPod classic with a great dac, headphone jack and Bluetooth, no distractions, music only. That would be a dream.
they'll probably put an app store on it.
if that's want you want there's lots of players like that for example Hiby R3 II, Tempotec v3 or Shanling M1s and many others
Never going to happen. They can’t continuously monetise on it.
@@jacosta5580 Exactly. It won't happen. The popularity of iPods (and high-quality audio players) is near zero, despite what this video claims.
Also, we'll never see the headphone jack back in portables, because this would affect one of the biggest lies and scams in modern consumer audio tech: the abominable "true wireless earphone" craze, also invented by Apple with the AirPods. It's a scam for two reasons: on the one hand, Apple officially claimed "innovation" and "better audio quality" as reasons for dropping the headphone jack from iPhones (both are just lies). On the other, and even worse, those bluetooth earbuds are throwaway consumer waste, with non-replaceable batteries, requiring pennies to produce and sold at an unbelievable profit margin. You just don't make good profit with high-quality stuff, especially now that everything is mainstream-commercialised. True wireless earbuds are the cheap and nasty way out of this, and thanks to brilliant marketing, consumers fall for it.
@@LyuboA this. in my case, I have a hidisz ap-80
its back because we are tired of these subscription based products, we WANT TO OWN the products we BUY once again!!!!!!!!!!
Then buy CDs .. you don’t own a digital file from iTunes .. your just leasing the rights to listen to it
ive never have a subscription. i pirated everything.
Why I am putting dozens of hours currently into creating our own family media server.
Fucking this! Thank you. It’s sad the direction we the people allow corporations to steer us.
@@bored2323 or pirate💀
one aussie guy is single handedly responsible for bringing back ipods
DANK
PODS
Hell yeah! I've modded 7 iPods thanks to that guy.
NA I would say it's was DankPod who unified it but the fans elevated him, If no one cared we wouldn't be talking about him. plus COVID help him too people were locked up rummaging through their old stuff looking for there iPod a after watching an Australian man yelling at an iPod or at least being nostalgic.
One aussie guy and a lady snake named frank
I`ve got two IPod classics and use them just about every day. I`m not protesting or looking for nostalgia, I just love the way they work.
The reason I bought iPods in the first place is because of Dank Pods, the reason I've been sticking with them is protesting our hyper-convenient "you will own nothing" world
You’re so Right!.
I own the las generation and I’m still using and like it a lot.
Since 10+ years solid!
Apple should Re-released and Upgrade this one!.
Music, LOTS of music. I couldn't care less about the other garbage that clutters the rest of Apple's products.
Same here. I bought a larger one from a guy.
And of course the 6th reason for me!...is total offline listening of your songs No ads and total privacy. Thanks for the video, super awesome
And no fee for listening to music also no worries about the song u want to hear being available on the service or not
I don't like being exposed to radio frequency (RF) radiation from my phone. Off-line use of an iPod is healthier for your brain.
I just bought an iPod classic because I always wanted one but couldn’t afford it back in the day. It’s so cool.
I bought minidisc player bc at the time it came out it was so expensive and I always wanted it!
I use mine for 60% Video, 30% Audiobooks and 10% Music. Modded to hold 1TB. Always ready to go on short notice, no worrying about what to download or stream to go with me. No draining my phone battery for all these things. Love it!
did you have to install rockbox or ipod linux or could sitll use regular apple firmware?
@@NightmareRex6regular is fine
1TB... if Apple were charging you it'd be $2000
How did you mod it to hold 1TB? I modded my iPod Mini w/ a 64GB SSD. 1 TB would be amazing.
Do you know if you can somehow get audible audiobooks on there?
Doing things the hard way in this day and age is a choice more people will make and continue to make. Be it analog photography, listening to vinyl or riding a steel, rigid singlespeed mountainbike…it’s all about being connected to the activity.
Yep. It's invigorating this way ...
Great video. Another reason I'd add-people don't like relying on streaming subscriptions for music, where legal battles can remove your music at any time, they can change the terms of the service or raise the price, and you have to keep paying forever or else lose your music. It's much nicer to have a local collection of CDs and/or MP3s, and iPods are perfect for listening to your own permanent, curated library.
People want to own what they buy, crazy right!?
You can just download music onto your phone💀
@@kevinwong_2016 which is what they said...
@@kevinwong_2016 Yes, but your music library is still at the whim of the streaming service. If you stop paying your music is gone, if some music gets removed from the platform it's gone from your library. Actually owning the MP3s is way better IMO. I've cancelled my spotiy and have been going with MP3s on my trust iPod collection. Also it's fun choosing which iPod I wanna bring with me
I recently picked up a Sony MiniDisc Player again. They're even more basic than iPods. I love it.
Oooh, I feel into that trap and developed a slight MiniDisc addiction… I have about 7 or 8😂.
They are so cool though,!
I’m gonna make a “matrix soundtrack “ disc on one of the same kind of discs that appears in the first film. (I already have the disc) 😁
I've been eyeing a beautiful Sony minidisk player for a while. Just wish I could afford it right now
And some models (like my 2 units) run on a single AA battery. Truly engineering genius!
I'm curious to see what that is. I've had minidiscs, but not a specific minidisc player. Interesting.
This is some hipster shit.
I ordered an mp3 player online cause I'm sick of getting ads on spotify and also because during school trips, i tend to listen to music in the bus but by the time I arrive to the destination my phone's battery basically gets halved. So I got it to prevent that as well.
I'm a late gen z, born in 2007 so most ipods are older than me. I never had an mp3 player as a kid but I had friends with strict parents who got one before they had a phone. I find mp3 players very fascinating as I've always associated playing media with smartphones or computers, you know, expensive devices. I just find it so cool that a pretty cheap device can do all of that. It's a new world for me and I like it.
As a kid, I grew up using CD players that had a headphone Jack, and was able to play about 13 songs on a full released CD, and about 25 songs on one burned CD-R/CD+RW/CD+R. It wasn't until 2010 that I started using Zune devices, and then ten years later I was given my older brother's iPhone, and since then, considering that the iPhone ends up using so much battery, I just rather use a laptop or a device that I can include WAV files into my Zune rather than convert it into HQ 320Kbps MP3s instead.
I think people who are poor or don’t have the privledge of unlimited data will understand why offline media is so important.. i think more peopel will realize this too as prices and inflation increases.. suddenly having things offline will seem like a god send.
@@npcimknot958 true, subscription prices are constantly increasing so having something you only have to buy once is a good thing
@@npcimknot958 which is ironic because there's an episode of Community where someone gets made fun of for using a CD player, saying they're too poor to buy an iPod.
I'm 50 now so I had the pleasure of having an Lp player, cassette Walkman, CD Walkman, then a 1g ZEN, then a 2007 80G IPOD dial no bluetooth or WIFI lol. Loved them all and still have all except the cassette walkman
Didn't you have a mini disc player?
no I had a feeling it woudnt take@@krizjamz9823
I still have a cassette recorder and blank tapes! I don’t know what to do with it now.
52 and I had them all too 😅
I got one in 2008, still have It and use it! I never stopped !
Same here I bought mine in 08 when I was 11 & still use it & still add songs to it
such a well made device! Also you obviously take care of it.
Same
can u still use itunes to transfer songs?
@@gamingwithloki yes you can !
I got an upgraded refurbished 5.5 gen a couple months ago to replace my iPod nano that’s battery expanded. It has a 128gb ssd with a new battery and faceplate. I didn’t realize how much I missed it, people look at me like a weirdo when they see me using it in public but I don’t care I love it :)
Aww not the na-no. I've been using a 4th gen classic everyday since I got it a couple weeks ago. I love the monochrome screen. I have a 3rd gen lying around but it's not the best iPod to use because of its reliance on firewire. The 4th gen can actually be charged via USB so in the car, while syncing with my PC, and while on an iPod dock. The 4th gen is making its way up my favorites list
@@ambiarock590 I was thinking about picking up a 4th gen too before the prices get too crazy, that was the first iPod I had so it would be cool to have one with a new battery and ssd.
I never stopped using mine so im glad yall finally came around...i stopped yesterday though because my hard drive finally took a dump...so of course im putting a new drive in it and look forward to another 15 years of offline interruption free music ...carry on ipod people
I have one of those non Android Sony players. I think it was the last non Android model they made. No wifi, no phone calls, no notifications. Just plays music, which is all I want it for. And it does it well. Before that, I had the 2009 model Ipod Classic. That thing kept going for 13 years. Hoping I can get the same kind of mileage out of the Sony.
model number please? Sounds like a dream!
@@kevinmontgomery1383 NW-A55
@@kevinmontgomery1383 NW-A55. Think it's been discontinued.
@@kevinmontgomery1383It’s probably A105 that he’s talking about, but actually sony is still making nonandroid walkmans to this day, meant for audiophiles and very expensive though
@@kevinmontgomery1383 I have one too. It's the Sony nw-a55. I brought the overseas version on eBay to get the English menu.
I just picked up a 5th gen video for my car, its a great way to take all of my albums on CD with me and it sounds great!
i just picked up a 5th gen for my car too!
the 5th gen is best one becuase its latest one can install rockbox on it. i recomend it it allows more formats, ads more games (altho idk why would play them now a days) and it also removes the use for the crappy itunes. tho if like itunes, it will constatly want to nuke your mods.
I still look back fondly on my old iPod Nano. I've been seriously considering getting on this iPod bandwagon lately. Nostalgic, and serves as a wonderful means to yoinkproof my music library in an era where we increasingly own nothing.
Watching your videos is like yoga for my brain.
The best detox content. Your wholesome mentality and smart and logical mind just makes sense to me.
I normally don’t write comments much, but it was needed after I watched every single video on your channel.
Thanks again.
Greeting from Germany
Thanks so much for the kind words - I’m so glad to hear you enjoy the videos!!
Fixed my iPod classic during the Pandemic as a hobby, after I found some youtuber doing the same! I’m loving using it again! It feels so nostalgic and yet super cool.
I'm so glad CZcams suggested this video. You've made me want to get my old iPod (identical to the one you have), mod it and get back to using it. I also feel the need to disconnect a bit. Thank you for this video!
I’m happy you liked it! Hope you mod that iPod - I will be doing that soon with mine 👍
I got an iPod Mini 2nd Gen and decked it out with a new battery, 256gb SD card, and soldered in Bluetooth. It is my new go to music device!!
No app distractions, monochrome screen doesn't show artwork so less battery drain, I have more control on what I own and play (dumped all my CDs in there as well as sold them to save space).
It just works and I am so happy I found a certain Aussie who rekindled my love for ipods❤
How did you add Bluetooth?
I also love the iPod. Wish Apple would make the iPod, classic and mini and AirPort Express. Not because of nostalgia but convenience.
What about the reason of wired headphones? That is the main reason why I still have, use and enjoy 3 2nd and 3rd gen iPods.
I bought a secondhand iPod classic 160gb in 2015 and it has been my daily music player ever since. The hard drive gave up so it’s now a 256gb beast with a battery that lasts pretty much a month solid. Well worth getting it upgraded, I’m still able to buy secondhand cds as well as downloading new albums from Bandcamp.
The youngsters think I’m behind the times, when really I’m just waiting for them to catch up.
Great video as always 👍
I've got a 6th gen classic that I love using. I even put a rainbow front case on it to make it really unique. At some point I wanna flash mod this and cram 512 GB into it to make it a real powerhouse
@@ambiarock590I know what you mean, it’s well worth flashing them and putting a bigger battery in them I’m thinking about a 1tb as all I need to do is change the card (not that I’ve run out of space) but just love mine so much
Been rocking a 5th gen classic since January and I’m loving it. I swapped the old 30gb drive for a 128GB CF card and a new battery. It’s so nice to just use it for music and nothing else. Also ALAC files are the same as FLAC so you can use super hi fi files still on the iPod. Thanks for the video
First ever video i see from the channel and i have to say I feel such a good and chill vibe from your way of speaking
Still got my 6th gen iPod it’s been serviced new battery and such like I love it and won’t ever get shot of it it’s blast from the past
I got an iPod recently and I’m 16, so the iPod I have rn (5th gen) is most likely older than me, and I like it. I like how it does its one job really well and there’s no ads which is a big plus, and the last point you made is one of the bigger reasons why I got one
Just wanna say I appreciate these videos, you make content I’ve always been interested in but I don’t usually see from other minimalist CZcamsrs and I highly rate that! Keep it up!
love your framing of it as an "act of protest" - it very much is for me too. that i can turn off and have my focus only on music or podcasts, not potentially taken by a notif or chat app... the ipod, a great bastion in the fight against distraction culture!
The further I go on a journey similar to yours, Spencer, I find myself increasingly drawn to and recommending to others the virtues of single use devices. Like with people, things that try to be everything and do anything scarcely excel at any one thing. Purpose built devices that do what they do well with no extra padding or strings attached are awesome. As to people who keep harping on the willpower issue, quite frankly I put smart phone usage in a similar category as addiction to other vices like alcohol. It's really easy to sit back and tell someone to just have more willpower and more control, but when you're constantly exposed to devices that are intentionally meant to be addictive, and there is peer and societal pressure to use them all the time, sometimes the best solution truly is to remove the temptation entirely. Smart.
I would add even the "right to own your music" since now we are in a streaming era as well where if you have a niche you follow as artist it can bump around different services or not be available anymore straight up so the cost monthly to keep even just tidal and Spotify for example can be as buying 2 albums per month, which is not much at the beginning but if you keep doing that you can build an incredibly big library of music that you actually own from the digital files and will never be taken from you
It's most likely that on Spotify, I have had recordings on both Screenflow AND OBS, and I can guarantee you the screenflow and OBS recordings are basically digital copies of my own recordings of how I recorded the screen. Most of the music I've screen recorded through OBS or Screenflow, the visual is only there if I need to know what the title, artist, and album of the song it's currently playing, but it's the audio that's most important.
@@SuperFlashDriver downloading:🗿🗿🗿🗿
@@kevinwong_2016 Whhhaattt??? OBS comes in handy to screen record websites & Audio sources when you can't download it from Spotify and such for offline purposes. iPods are literally offline digital devices and such, not joking. I literally download stuff, what else would I use, the stupid internet only cloud storage??? Hell nooo.
I was born in 2007 and I loved iPods as a kid. Here in Australia we are a little bit behind the times when it came to certain things, this includes streaming music as I remember most of my family and friends still used CDs or MP3 players up until about 2014-15 when Spotify became popular here. I have lots of nostalgia for these devices and picked up an iPod classic 6 120gb about 3 years ago. It’s been thrashed and is full of dents and scratches but surprisingly the hard drive is still going. Got me through lots of things. I’ll repair it when it eventually dies. Great vid!
The current Apple TV remote reminds me of the scroll wheel from the iPod. Love it
I just got my 6th Gen iPod today and this comes out the same day
I just got a Sandisk MP3 player based on one of your previous videos on this subject! Didn't realize how much I missed an MP3 player just dedicated for my music - and yes, my phone runs out of space too quickly too
I am partial to high connectivity and single use items. I think it is important to have both.
Spencer, you are such a great teacher. The way you explained things is wonderfully excellent!
Thank you very much my friend!
Got myself an iPod Nano recently and loving it. Got sick of using Spotify/CZcams for music and wanted my own collection like old times.
Great video! I agree.
I got an iPod classic for me last year and I love it:)
Great to disconnect from the world and just enjoy music
#6 The audio quality is better. I have a Bluetooth receiver connected to my 1979 Yamaha Hi Fi and I was streaming from my phone and not happy with the audio quality. 2 things acted to reduce the overall listening enjoyment 1) the DAC in the iPhone and 2) Bluetooth itself. Then only just this weekend I remembered the long forgotten iPod Gen 5 Classic sitting in the bottom draw. Haven't used it for years. I dragged it out and charged it. It accepted charge so I connected it via the RCA line in to the headphone jack and voila! Music sounded infinitely better than the phone - almost as good as vinyl only easier as I don't have to get up and change sides every 6 songs or so! So def audio quality should be on your list.
I am glad I came across this video and your channel! It couldn't have come to me at a better time. I was aching to separate my devices again and go back to the early 2000s when tech was convenient but not intrusive and distracting. It brings me back to the days when there was still social media, but you could really only use it when you were home. How cool was that! I just may pick up an iPod classic again - it has been a long time!
Still got my iPod classic and works great, very nice to have. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
I’m going to be flash modding a 4th gen iPod with 128GB micro SD & new battery very soon - just waiting on parts to arrive. I completely agree with all your points, I’m here for the nostalgia factor and distraction-free listening 🎧🎵
👍Thumbs up for Frog and Toad 🐸🐸
I got an old 6th gen classic recently and I changed the faceplate, added flash storage and even installed a taptic engine! It has been absolutely incredible to have and it seems to actually sound better than everything else I've ever used.
It’s very easy, no distraction, you can listen your favorite music and it small easy to carry around.
I think it's for the same reason why we buy Kindles; no distractions and it is simple to use. I recently purchased my first Kindle Paper White, which changed my reading experience. The iPod changes the listening experience. I wish Apple would just bring it back here in 2024. I want to add something, though. It's not a protest for me; I love AI and all of the new stuff, and I love where we are going with advancing tech, and I am excited about it, but as an 80s kid, I love the retro stuff as well.
Great Video Spencer!!
Thank you my friend!
I really enjoyed your video! Thanks!
I still have my iPod Touch 4th generation and my dad still has his iPod classic.
My brother sent me his old iTouch player and I love using it when I work out at the YMCA. Love it!
"It's fun to stay at that YMCA!" You know the song, if it's on that old iTouch. I need to see if I have that song. I know I have it somewhere where it's mine, not from a streaming service.
Once upon a time, Android answered the space issue with an micro sd card slot.
Great video!
Unless your phone is from 2021 or newer💀
My first Apple device is the iPod classic and I still have it today.
I just use it for photoshoot purposes, because it makes a great photo prop
Cool that you mentioned RockBox. I was using that in 2008.
My iPod is probably in a drawer at my mom's. Next time I visit, I'll bring it with me.
I still rock a DAP.
Just use your old iPhone as an iPod. That's what I do.
Why use your old iPhone and not recent iphone
Not enough space
Nice how does the connection work, BLE or Ant+ and what limitations are there with the overlay compared to say using the Garmin Virb 360?
Hey Spencer ... just found your video and I love it. I use my iPod daily at the gym to listen to music, because I don't take my phone there (unlike most of the guys up there, who spend more time playing on their phones than lifting weights :-).) Yesterday my old iPod finally died after 9 years of heavy use. I was thinking about buying another one -- until I found an old deactivated iPhone 4 in my desk drawer. I wiped it clean and right now it's working perfectly as my new "iPod." Call it Repurposing With A Purpose. Looking forward to your future videos!
I have the iPod 160gb and always thought about retro fitting with ssd
I wanna do the same with my 6th gen. It's currently 80GB and that's a lot of music and stuff but I wanna cram it with a 512 GB SD card and give it a big battery.
I used to do the whole iPod thing but I went for the Sony A306 in the end. It features all streaming services and does Hi-Res music and it’s about the size of a credit card (and as thick as a wallet) - I adore this device.
This is a revelation. Thank u.
I was thinking of just throwing or destroying my iPod classic but after this video I am rethinking that. It still works, still has tons of classic rock. I am going to keep it now.
11:00 if using smart phone, turn off notifications for email, and anything else you don’t need. delete apps with bottomless feeds. You can make it a less toxic experience and you can intentionally sit down at another device when you do want to do those things.
I don’t like paying subscriptions.
I have the iPod Classic and you are spot on I just want to hear good tunes nothing else 🎧🎶🎤💪🏾
I just found my classic 5th gen 60GB iPod A1136 in the car hole and thought, "Oh, I remember this thing. I wonder if it still works." It does! After a full charging the thing is great and even has a bunch of my old music and videos on it. Now I'm off to hack it...
Apple won’t bring them back, They can’t ream you with tied monthly charges
My sister still has her iPod Shuffle clips and I can't blame her. It just a small thing that you can clip anywhere and it plays music! Especially if you go for a jog or something.
I agree with this. I come from the old days where there was no internet. The world was a lot better calmer place. Love your video.
I still use my 128gb i pod classic block ( almost 15 yrs old ) .... the battery has taken a hit but it still delivers none the less....Thank you !
Subscribed! I want to learn to live and partake in things I enjoy in an intentional way. I think it will help
Nice! I just set my old iPhone mini as my “iPod”. Was the easiest way to get more than 160gb of storage, not to mention the convenience of Bluetooth and other things. Would love to play around with modding a iPod classic to take an SD card though
I have one, never gave it up... have had it since new... needs a new battery, but otherwise, still in usable shape. Thanks for the resource and this great video Spencer!
Great video, thank you!
My 2 classic iPods generation 5 & 6 have always been my wurlitzer jukebox. 20+ years ago I spent summers uploading my collection of cd’s to my Mac. The memory on home computers at the time couldn’t hold my collection. I got those iPods to keep my music library safe and portable. Half my cd’s are gone several computers later, I can still listen to those hard to find tunes in many genres. I’m glad to hear they are making a comeback. Now I will not worry if they ever need a tuneup🎶🎵!;D
I bout my first iPod in 2004 and still been using one ever since. I have since filled up the hard drive. Now I have to delete songs to add new ones, but I do have over 29700 songs on it, and I have music on it going back to the year 1900 to 2024. I have over 124 years of music on it. I continued using an iPod all these years because it worked for me and I have a large library of music all in one device, and smart phones can't give me what my iPod can.
I have 3 classic and 3 touch screen iPods. I’ve upgraded the classics with SSD memory and higher capacity batteries. I have most of my 7,000 songs on them. Loving it all of these years!
I never stopped using my iPod Classic, I’ve had it 15-20 years and It’s got most of my music collection on it, I have it plugged into my car usb port so I’ve always got my music available when driving.
My kids tease me about it, but I love it 🙌🏻
Love your videos.
Nice video! 👍 With the exception of nostalgia since I’m older than dirt you covered pretty much all the reasons I still use my iPod Classic.
* The UI. I’ve been obsessed with science and technology since I was little and I bought a CD player when they new and about the only genre you could get was classical. I now own countless CDs that I’ve arranged by genre, artist, release date, etc. since I’m obsessive. 😄 Once I got an iPod I had all that in my hand plus the ability to create complex playlists. It was a huge leap over my Sony Discman. (I don’t use it anymore, but my Discman still works. 😂)
* The lack of interference and distractions. The great thing about my iPod is I can listen to music and not get interrupted by phone calls and texts and not get distracted by notifications.
Just used mine yesterday. I love it so much and it's so convenient, fits so well in your hands and i love the clickwheel. My first ipod was an ipod nano (these small ones), but I've listened to a lot of music on some other mo3 players back in the early 2010's
I still have mine from 2006. I use it in my car to keep my music library. Plus, I use my iPod shuffle in the gym to have music but not being distracted by a phone.
I use my Sandisk Clip Jam every day! I've grown up w/tech in Silicon Valley for 50 years working for a lot of those FAANG+ co.'s, and I realized how important focusing on just the jams matters.
I haven't stopped using mine. Love it
The iRiver I got as a gift in 2004, is still in use today, in my garage hooked up to an old-school stereo system.
Wise beyond years. Great ideas.
I am a classical musician and I like storing all my numerous favorite music works on my ipod touch. For me, it is a great little tool. I just spent 95.00 bucks on a refurb( local Apple store) when the battery swelled on my old one and made it useless. Worth every darn penny!
Yep I have one. Picked it up for about $100 at a flea market. I listen to it to this day. It’s great. Heavy and solid.
I had my 7th gen 160gb ipod classic since 2008/2009. And STILL rock with it till this day. I don't care about apps. I don't care about surfing the internet. Just give me lots of Storage & great battery life. If I want something to carry my entire music library around, i want That Device. Old but still superior.
I love it over here😊💙
This video just reminded me that I have an old iPod touch sitting around the house. The battery can’t hold a charge but I might have a look online for a new one now.
When the internet goes down, I still have the pod. I don't have to be tracked where I go or what I listen to. There is no charge to listen to the music you love. I bought one that had 50,000 songs and had an SSD card in it. I love it.
*_OMG! I suddenly missed my iPods from way back then. I remember the Apple iPod Shuffle as my first because I was on a strict budget. Then the iPod Nano which I genuinely love. It was so tiny and thin and lightweight and I love the hardware so much. Also had the iPod Classic 60GB which was already humongous that time. Then finally the iPod Touch. I would love to have and own an iPod (Nano or Mini) once again. But even if it ain't an iPod, would love to get a cheap/inexpensive MP3 music player. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers_*
I have the 160gb iPod and use it a lot in a cd/radio etc (Panasonic ) and dedicated iPod charger integrated. Didn’t like the iTunes interface etc so have not added anything new to my iPod. Is there easier Apple software besides iTunes or better?
I still have mine, and I use it now and then. Love it
Love the videos ❤
I still have, and recently upgraded, my Microsoft Zune. Still going, still rocking it.
I just got the iphone shuffle touch screen its so tiny and cute I love it! I dont wanna be takin out my phone or usin it all the time especially when Im out.
I started by reviving my old iPod Classic 7th gen. I've since upgraded to a Sony Walkman that's also not Android, so still no distractions, but can play via Bluetooth, Hi-Res Audio, and takes 1GB SD card.
I remember going to Walmart in like 08 and buying my iPod classic I was so excited
