i’m looking something with a lot of storage since my playlist is insanely big..i like ipod classic 2008 and ipod nano 3g the best when it comes to design and overall vibe, but maybe my choices arent so good after all.. what do you think?

I’ve been collecting vintage electronics and cameras lately, and recently picked up this iPod Classic for $42, including shipping.
The cosmetic condition is remarkably good for its age. It still has protective film on it, and it looks like somebody really took care of this thing.
I gave the battery a test, and so far it’s holding a charge surprisingly well.
It’s pretty amazing how well some of these older Apple products have aged. There’s something satisfying about these old iPods compared to today’s disposable electronics.
Curious what everyone thinks. Did I get a decent deal for $42? And how many of you are still using your original iPods regularly?

I’ve had this iPod for a lil while, today the case came!!! I used a sticker book and it honestly looks very nice

Super proud of this build.

I have literally wanted this since I was a kid. I have my iPod on a shelf with a little mini hi-fi set up (shared with some books).

This is literally winning at life for me.

My wife thinks it looks cute so that's nice too.

Hello! A smaller RepriseOS update this time, mostly focused on polishing the original iPod experience.

Dark Mode looks much more consistent now, with refreshed artwork, clearer icons, and fixes for lyrics, search, and other text. It also uses much less RAM now that theme artwork loads from disk instead of keeping extra copies in memory.

Since my 0.2.2 post, Play Next / Play Last also works for whole albums and artists. You can choose whether clicker sounds play through the speaker, headphones, both, or neither. There’s also authentication support for DIY iPod accessories.

To update, use RepriseOS Installer.

….and where do I find them to do so? 📚🎧

Hi!A question for the experts: how can I identify an original item and determine its value? Thanks.

I recently picked up an iPod nano 7th gen in perfect condition for 50 bucks. I just spent a day in the weekend to really learn how to put my playlist on here without losing the lossless quality. After some coding and stuff I managed to get everything working and also custom icons. I’m so happy and haven’t put it down yet. Battery seems to be holding up fine too🫶

My ipod just started tweaking so im trying to do recovery mode but now it's just doing this

I have an iPod 4 Photo that I got used on eBay. Last night I opened it up, and changed the battery. It briefly worked, on a low charge. I tried charging it with a new FireWire cable from an outlet. Nothing seems to have happened. I tried charging it by plugging it into my laptop. It gets very warm to the touch, but doesn’t seem to charge.

Could I have done something wrong when changing the battery, or putting it back together? I checked the click wheel connection. And put the wire from the board back in place. It’s getting to the point where I regret spending money on the whole project.

This is my iPod case. It has two separate compartments: the top holds the iPod while the bottom holds my Elecom Bluetooth transmitter and Bluetooth Anker earbuds - all in one convenient place. Got it at the $1.00 store. The zippered fabric pouch is soft, thin, easy to carry, and the divider fabric prevents my iPod from getting scratched.

Note the iPod itself has 1/2 a TB and a modded case.

I will drag and drop the album and nothing happens, the album doesn't get transferred or synced or anything. And yes, I am using ALAC.

I found these (iPod not included) on the curb this morning, looks like unsold items from a yard sale maybe? Took them home, plugged them in and they sounded awesome! It’s hard to see, but the Sony one has the subwoofer behind it and the remote. the LG one is missing it’s sub and remote. I’m giving the LG one to my sister and brother in law, but as Soon as I accidentally pressed in the door and the iPod dock connector came down on the Sony one, I was like “this is the one I’m keeping!” I don’t really need a music player in the house, I have so many options already, but any time I’m having an outdoor gathering like a cookout, this will be playing my favorite tunes and will be front and center of the event! Love it! I’ve cleaned them up and tested them since I took the photos. They look great and every function, well… functions!

Something was up with the battery, so while my guy was working on her, I asked for a back and clickwheel swap, too!

3000mah, new purple back shell and steel blue clickwheel.

Headphones: Max Mayfield’s Realistic Nova 45s, circa 1980s.

Thanks to u/cowmanisgood for the clickwheel.

I just got the 4th gen iPod photo, & it came with music already on it. Which would be fine, but most of it is not my taste at all. I'm trying to reset it, but it just keeps freezing my laptop (m1 MacBook air). Hopefully I'll have better luck with my windows desktop computer, bc I'm getting really sad not being able to reset it & put my own music on it.

If anyone has any advice on this specific iPod, I'd love it. Any and all advice, doesn't have to be about adding music or anything.

i miss the days when we could just remove our tiny memory cards and play with the drive :/

hi everyone! i tried searching for this but nothing pops up for me; i just want to either add music to my iphone without losing existing saved music(music files, not itunes purchases) or access the saved music to place on my computer.

if there’s any advice or something i can look up please leave a comment.

thank you :)

Hi all. While doing repairs on my iPod, I frustratingly managed to snap the connector for the headphone jack/hold switch on the little tab that holds it down. Is this board screwed or is there a way to fix it? I don’t currently have the money to buy a new one.

so basically i ripped off the aux and hold button socket from motherboard. i couldn’t find a way to fix it but then i found a listing of ipod with dead screen and hdd . the seller didnt know if motherboard was working but at the price of just $11 i took the risk
i got lucky and the motherboard was working. took about an hour and i revived my ipod! im glad i was able to fix something for once

I need to buy it from amazon but most of them in the description says it’s made of PET. Is that ok? Also, it’s blue while the ones I see here posted are yellow, idk if that’s also ok or not.

...because why not...
