i’ve been carrying my old iPod around more and more lately<br>but tbh i’ve never had spotify or streamed music either ✌️
More of this please :)
crazy work
omg. i still have my ipod from 25 years ago. mint condition
I still have my white 5.5 gen 80gb that I ordered online in 2006 for $499. Which was the only way you could get that model. All factory parts, except the replacement battery which Apple installed. I was pretty upset because I could have waited for the rounded edge one with 80gb and got it for $249.
There's a component you're missing. Car integration. There was a period of time where that fat connector was how your car unlocked a big music library.
I wanted dank pod why he has red middle his head did he get hurt?
I really should replace at least the battery in my iPod classic, as now it only lasts a couple hours.
Thought I was tripping, what is that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KztkwBYD68&t=38">0:38</a>
I have several minidisc players and upload mp3 from a web browser...
I'll stick to my zunes
I've still got my 6th gen iPod nano :)
This video is such a banger
No dankpods colab for an ipod video is crazy
Everything costs 1000 dollars
Did all that less the 30 pin. Far easier. Storage and battery anyone could do.
I just host my own personal Spotify by using Plex and Symfonium. Turns out, it's free and as convenient as you could want it to be. Don't want to stream? Well all the .flac files exist on my drives, so I just... copy them. What a concept!
This thing with Steve Jobs was not funny, sorry. Nor was ruining a classical product with squarish dump software and calling this “mods”
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KztkwBYD68&t=728">12:08</a> Rockbox mentioned! it's been a long time since I last heard that name
elite obsolete made the lttpod
Why ?? It's extremely likely you have a mobile phone , no need for a separate device
Genuine question: why not just download the music onto your phone? Not like a streaming thing but get flacs of 1337 or something and just use your phone to listen?
green and pink tooth ribbons on a 40yo, on a fucking thumbnail... Yeah people buy iPods because they don't know mp3/flac players exist.
Are you really changing the wheel and the back plate on a special edition U2 signed iPod??
dude this is sick
Hey Linus every iPod until the 6th gen has a Wolfson DAC, after that Wolfson got purchased by Cirrus Logic who went on to make the DAC for the 6th gen and later iPod which makes them essentially about the same. The Wolfson DAC is something eBay sellers use to ramp up prices on ordinary iPods
iPod’s aftermarket parts prices after this 📈
And my friends and co-workers look at me and ask why I spent $280 on a Japanese Sony NW A306.... I can point them to this video and ask, "well.. it's either a Sony Walkman A25/A55 or A306.. OR a modded iPod" <br><br><br>PS. Not to shell out shame or anything, you spend how ever much money you want on your mp3 player or just use your phone. The idea around ALL of this is to own your music again! However you do that by either streaming music to yourself using Jellyfin/Navidrome or buying a dedicated device, it's all the same. Just get up, do some research, buy whatever you need, and use your money to own your music again!!
Or just use your phone to play music files not streamed.
guess Apple users are so used to the company locking down phone storage and apps—pushing them toward Apple Music, and other streaming services—that they don't realize you can just get a Galaxy phone and load every song you've ever owned onto it without being forced to carry a second device. I've never paid for a music streaming service, and I never will....
WHy would I do this when I have all my music on my Sammy or on a USB-C storage attached and use my waterproof Bluetooth headphones???? Seems a waste of money to me.
For those who don't want to spend that much on a good quality MP3/Flac player, I've been using the HIFI WALKER H2 for the last 6 months, it's real good. The menu is a little bit annoying, but the build quality and the sound is great! The controls are tactile, there's Bluetooth, a 3.5 audio jack and builtin usb3 (I don't know if they do sound as I only use 3.5mm jacks). It's about 170$ CAD on amazon, I got a refurbished one first, but it was broken, replaced it with a brand new one and I don't regret it.
You can still use your phone with local audio files btw :)
I love Apple Music.
iPod= music player Zune= music discovery<br>Iykyk
I would have left the U2 iPod as it is and bought a beat up iPod instead for the modifications
Why not just put the music on your cellphone?
Earlier this year I bought a 5th gen (iPod video), and modded it with a better battery and quad SD cards. New case and headphone jack (it was intermittently disconnecting).<br><br>It's awesome! Except iPods mix podcasts in with your music albumns!? That part is infuriating, so I'm going music only. I checked, and I hear RockBox doesn't really handle podcasts better.
What did you use for shims?
Here I am, 18 years after my iPod nano, then Touch, then iPhone 7 and now iPhone 17, and still no subscription streaming app used and I still curate my own freaking library from teenage me. I don't want ads when listening to music.
These devices are some of the most stubborn things to open up.
to be fair the market is kind of horrible its 60 $ crappy chunky software, 1000$ or simply android. Fiio is making some budget options that actually sounds good, but the market needs to be made more competitive again
Still have my old classic I splurged back in the day for the biggest hdd they had available. Does fine just for songs.
man, I still have my iPods 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen. And also the iPod Video 5th gen. Still works. Just hate iTunes.
I spent 35$ CAD on an IPod4 the other day, best choice ever ngl. Now my music is in one place and it’s MINE!
and your 1400$ cell phone does more - how stupid
Just buy a Zune
You know you can run the cable under your shirt, right?
Tech tip run the wired headphones through the shirt so it does not stung on random things
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KztkwBYD68&t=8">0:08</a> Is that lil Jon? WHAT! 😂
If you're gonna use BT anyway, why not just use your phone? You'll get way better audio quality when you don't go from digital to analog and back to digital.
Also, you could easily build a little MP3 player with a Pi Pico or Raspberry Pi
Unfortunately , ipods dont support left-right balance☹️
Hack for wired headphones, run the wire under your shirt and put excess cable hanging out in your pocket
Why not use Smartphones to play the mp3s? Its jus so a retro feeling style thing?
Y no dankpods
Let me start by saying I love LTT. So this video, let me get this straight. We went from current iPhones that BT to your ears, back to iPods wired to your ears to then Mod that to BT to your ears. All that whilst spending more money. Think I’ll stick to my iPhone.<br><br>Oh and carry 2 items as oppose to 1 iPhone.
Why????????
I had no idea this had gotten so fancy, not to mention expensive. in 2022 or something I took my ratty ipod 5th and just got a CF card adapter and a battery (only 450mh though, jealous of the 3000 one) and spent like $15 for both those things. add the actual CF memory card and I'm pretty sure I was below $50 all told
Haven't seen a U2 iPod since 2005 and realised it was 21 years ago 💀
Unfotunately Rockbox just did not have enough stability on my unmodded classic. It bricked multiple times before I just switched back to the standard OS with itunes.
I get it is for the video, but why anyone would do this except for the memes? You know you can play MP3s with your phone right?
Why is no one selling replica iPods with these scroll wheels? Isn't the patent expired by now?
Okay, but seriously. Why does anyone care about having an MP3 player when you can just, play MP3's on your phone?
Dude, just get an MP3 player or use your phone
Alternatively avoid the Crapple tax and pay £60 for a Sony NW-A55. Physical controls, native SD card support, decent DAC.
would love to see a "self made" kind of IPod that can be budget friendly
Apple completely broke their iTunes and mp3 playback, so I had to get a separate android mp3 player for exercising.
It's about $5 worth of computer hardware to run a music server, and the software is free.<br><br>Ipod vs Spotify? I'll take silence please.
...Nobody told Linus about the Innioasis y2 did they?
Bluetooth earbuds are so convenient that I don't regret iPod, you can still listen downloaded music from phone, really a waste of time, money and energy
Once you install Bluetooth mod and Rockbox there is zero sense to buy this iPod anymore, because you do not take advantage neither from Wolfson chip, nor from wheel. Somehow everybody forgets that among streaming and expensive (or garbage) MP3 player there is a 3rd option: upload MP3s to your phone
Your headphones are disturbing me….it looks very cheap….get rid of it
>Dms talks about how the 5.5 gen ipods sounds the best <br>>holds a 6th or 7th gen
I've never stopped downloading yall know your phone has media player apps like vlc and you can just drag and drop to a folder on your phone right are people stupid or something especially with youtube to mp3 sites downloading music is the easiest its ever been
just put MP3s on your phone bruh
iPod is cool. But you could add local music to your smart phone, or you could stream your own music with plex. <br>That said, I’ll probably pick one up. Got my old iPod touch’s 3rd gen, but it’s bloated battery and useless apps make it a cool paper weight. This would be more of a cool thing to have though than useful
There's probably a raspberry pi based device. Most of the patents of the ipod have expired
Not me buying broken ipods for $50 6 months ago lol
For anyone wondering; No, u dont need to buy these expensive iPods to have one. You can buy old used iPods on the market place for cheap and basically get anything else from Aliexpress way cheaper. They sell everything from Flash mods to iPod parts and they actually work amazingly. The hardest part about it all is honestly getting the iPod open lol
I was going to mod my old iPod classic but it felt like too much work for diminishing returns, when my old iPod touch finally died I found a good DAP that i could mod and haven’t looked back since. Hiby R1 is a great cheap entry into modern DAPs that can be modded with custom firmware and Rockbox and uses SD cards for storage. Mine is 512 GB with a theme I built all for around $100, it’s probably my favorite thing now.
I have been thinking of buying a modded iPod. I would definitely buy one from LTT 😂.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KztkwBYD68&t=705">11:45</a> buy kokkia bluetooth dongle.. no mods needed
Maybe talk to musicians about how streaming services broke the promise, the price for consumers is not the issue.
Ohhh, if I just had the money to do everything I want……
I still have my Zune. I'd buy a new modern Zune if they made them again.
Plexamp + Plex seems like a better option to leaving streaming services than going back to older hardware.
Why no Aussie guy screaming at broken iPods?
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KztkwBYD68&t=700">11:40</a> I am a stainless steel fabricator. The list of tools and tasks is long. Early on I learned to run the headphone wire down my back and beneath my shirt. Thousands of hours without many issues.<br><br>There is always a solution.<br><br>-Cheers!
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KztkwBYD68&t=256">4:16</a> Wrong, that is a 6th or a 7th gen, the 1st gen up to the 5/5.5 is all plastic meaning glossy tho some may be more than others, that is a aluminum faceplate, there aren’t (to my knowledge) any 1-5.5 gen mods that have metal fronts, only backs unless you use a 6th or 7th gen and HEAVILY mod the faceplate to fit a 5/5.5 gen.
They make 30pin USB-C cables ... I get not wanting to have 30 pin but iFlash and a new battery and you're pretty much set. VERY easy.
nobody is spending $1000????
I returned my Ipod touch a few months ago.
I'm game for ditching streaming services, but I don't get wanting <b>another</b> device in your pocket. <br>Local media playback IS a thing on phones. Right?
You put the wire under your top to stop it snaging on stuff
Still using my 16GB iPod touch 4. Generation :D or this iPod Classic with this 80GB HDD
Where's Dankpods!
I paid"0.13c usd" for an mp3 player years ago. It was an auction I won. I have youtube premium, not bad but is sometimes wanders away from my playlist. I'm returning to my 9gb of music, garage full of cd's. Actually considering getting a new cd player for the garage hen i'm 3d printing or doing other stuff.
For those who want more budget and user friendly solution - look at LG phones. They have pretty good DAC and power to drive almost any headphones.
The thing is people want a small device which they can use in car which is not loaded with their private info and have a great storage
