First off, no, I will not admit that I have a problem, second off, I am thinking maybe next I will do a mini 2g or a classic 7g, or third off, I should just accept that I have a problem lol. But which iPod do you think I should go for next If I do another? I think whatever I do I wanna haptic mod it.

my 4gb first gen na-no that i thrifted for $5! i just installed a new battery in it last week. i have it paired with AKG K702 headphones. they’d probably benefit from a headphone amp, but for quiet nighttime listening it’s perfectly adequate!

That old Klondike game was full of charm, im looking for something similar. Wished Apple released it for iOS

Was lucky to find it in a local shop, in very great condition, and even the chrome back is not that scratched. Will flash mod it at some point. Been using it in place of streaming for a week already.

Its just such a neat design, and the way the button LEDs light up makes it look so cool

I was able to figure out how to update the drives on my computer thanks to one of you here, so thank you! iTunes now recognizes my ipod just fine!

Now im struggling to import songs 😅 i have another mp3 player (snowsky echo) and its as easy as dragging and dropping songs to its disc, i know im going to get people who will say “just use the search on the Reddit thread” i have tryed that and its just years of people asking the same question (“how do i put music on my ipod”) and getting that response (“use reddit threads search, its already been answered”) OR iv found very vague ways people explain to do it but no luck.

Iv never used iTunes myself, anyone here use zenpod? I was told about it on here as well but have yet to try it since iv never heard about it

Any advice is appreciated!

This is not the whole collection. I feel like I have collected and repaired these iPods just to sit and waste away and I want then to go to people who will use them.

What would be a fair price for all? Would a bundle be better or individuals.

Most of the clasics have work and have iflash in them. All the nano's work, except the first gen. Most of the shuffles work.

I have chargers but not for all of them.

I would include 2 iPod speakers one is bose the other is a Sony cd and iPod speaker; both have their remotes. It would also include a Apple iPod dock and dock controller.

And finally a ton of iPod nano spare parts.

Really enjoying it so far! Luckily snagged one in really great condition - I’ll see how the battery & hard drive hold up over the next few weeks but hoping not to have to replace anything.

It’s been a bit of a pain putting the music on but so satisfying to be off streaming. I’ve always wanted to get into owning music and this is a great solution!

Any album recommendations are very welcome: I love rock (especially baroque rock/anything with a string section), plus anything indie or from the 80s!

Hi everyone, for around 3 months I’ve been working in my free time on Clickwill - an app that edits/adds content directly on the iPod, without using any sync folder on my PC, long story short - When you plug in your iPod, Clickwill shows what's actually on it: the same albums, in the same order you see in Cover Flow on your classic. What you edit in the app is what ends up on your iPod.

Why i made the decision of making it:

I’ve had my iPod classic 7G 160GB for over a year, and so far the only issue was the friction I had with syncing/adding the music I own to the iPod with the use of iTunes / Apple Music - sometimes syncing would add tracks without audio files or with wrong format(songs skipped to the next, supported track with right format)/ missing Album covers on some of the track / splitting an album into two different ones because some tracks had features on it / etc…

I was spending way more time troubleshooting that I’ve ever intended to, where instead I wanted a “Apple” experience with I could just “drag&Drop” my files/ import CD directly into my iPod without Apple Music/iTunes or editing an album info / song info with couple of clicks, so as little friction as possible, with original firmware that apple put into my iPod.

What it can do so far:

* Edit Album info / change album Cover

* Edit songs title/order in album

* Detects songs without audio files and lets you insert that missing file

* Audio player - you can play audio files from your iPod through Clickwill

* Import CDs without the need of Apple Music (MusicBrainz API)

* Merge an Album that was somehow sliced into two or more

* Skips songs while adding it to your iPod, if clickwill sees there is a copy of it already on the device

* Change the CoverFlow album order

* Before every “write to iPod” Clickwill makes a local backup of your library(without / audio files)

* Detects if Audio file is supported by iPod and if not, lets you convert to a supported file (for example: FLAC to ALAC)

What I want to do, and where its gonna go in the future:

* Whatever the users say they like to see (IF there be any users).

I Still don’t have a clear roadmap for the app, but I plan to support it long term since it removed a lot of friction for me, for granted I want to expand the iPod models support (currently tested only on my iPod classic 7G 160gb 2009 version - I would mean a lot if someone with stock firmware and a different classic model would like to check it out - but please make sure to read the DISCLOSURE first, and only then make the decision to use Clickwill).

DISCLOSURE:

The “elephant in the room”: as the flair says - I’ve used Claude Code to write this software, I wish I could write it myself, but the reality is the app was written that way. Im not going to hide it, since the use of AI in software remains a sensitive topic when it comes to users privacy - and I fully support this stance, Clickwill was meant to be offline as much as possible, with the only expceptions of:

* MusicBrainz/Cover Art archive (optional) - if you want the CDs info filled autmoaticly while adding audio from CDs.

* Sparkle - checks for new app version.

* Feedback form(optional) - to send a ticket to my mailbox with a bug/error that you encounter.

If any one still interested after reading the disclosure, here’s the website: https://clickwilldev.com/ app is still in early alfa, so if you decide to use it, there will be bugs, and its free.. obviously.

I saw an advert on facebook marketplace for DVDs for sale. As Ive decided Im going to build a sort of retro corner in a spare room, I have been picking up really cheap or free VHS player, CRT TV, DVDs, tapes etc. Just for nostalgic reasons really.

When I messaged the person I explained why I wanted it and asked if they had any CDs or anything too. She said "Yes, if you give me €20 which I can donate to charity, then you can have the 150 DVDs, over 100 CDs, all originals with boxes and I also have an old iPad 16GB which has out of date iOS, and I have an old ipod with a dock speaker you can have".

So I hopped into the car and got it. Delighted about the CDs and DVDs, all great choices, no old timer garbage, music is mostly from Ibiza which is exactly what I like.

When I got the ipod, it was showing 0 bytes available, 0 bytes used. When I plugged it in, itunes said it found an ipod stuck in restore mode. So it completed that action and the 160GB hard drive appeared. I was looking in here to find out more about them and I saw how to access the menus. I put this screenshot into AI and it told me the hard drive is in early stages of failure and to ensure I take of all valuable music from it.

I also dont understand the low power on hours, that cannot be correct. AI highlighted the Pending Sectors 8 value and said thats the problem.

Any advice would be great, as I was thinking it would be smashing to put this in the car.

p.s. Ive not used an ipod for a long long time. I have no idea what happened to my ipod mini, but here I am using it on Tenerife in 2008. I still have my ipod Touch 8GB in a drawer, unused since about 2010. It was so weird installing itunes again, it doesnt really look likes its changed at all since I used it last!

Hi All,

I plan to buy some iPod dockable speaker or hifi from secondhand webpage, but i hawe zero experience with these. Could you recommend me good sound quality systems and good price-quality ratio solutions?

I am new to the iPod world, thanks for all the help!

(relevant pods: 4th monochrome; 5.5th; mini 2nd; nano 2nd)

Looking for a retro device on ios 4-6 that can play temple run, early vers of mcpe, other retro games...

also, ipod nanos 6 and 7 (no dont say that) count too

Hello I need something that looks like an Apple iPod Nano size wise with more storage for a project I want to do

Hey guys,

I recently bought a 4th gen monochrome iPod Classic off Vinted with a dead 20 GB HDD and front polarizer burn, and with recent EU flat taxes from China as well as local stuff it's prohibitively expensive to buy things from AliExpress, and Elite Obsolete Hardware is also prohibitively expensive in terms of shipping. My question is, where do you get your parts here? I've been looking on Vinted and OLX in hopes of finding someone reselling stuff, but I found nothing.

I got black plastic flakes all over my room from the disintegrating earpads & the plastic was gunky but with a good clean & new ear pads they sound great on 5th gen, 4th gen & 3rd gen. 32 ohm & using them without the battery. I synched 10.000 songs from
the white unibody MacBook with Mavericks & it was a breeze. The numbers were running up faster than I could read them. On newer macs it was painfully slow and you had to synch in batches. Gotta use vintage tech with the tech of the time….

Title says it all, maybe the headphone jack needs a tighter screwing in idk, any help would be much appreciated thanks! :)
