now it plays Kraftwerk’s “Pocket Calculator” on the piezo buzzer

My partner gave me their old iPod Nano 3 after finding it in storage. 1615 songs on it. The battery is shot, so I'm getting that replaced, but I'm loving it. I had the first Gen shuffle and Touch 3 at one point. Went thrifting to find my ​childhood iHome and found the same model at my second thrift store stop. Lucky lucky! ​

After scouring the internet for months and months, always finding listings after they had sold, or sold while I was still planning on buying (did not want to pay obscene reseller prices). I finally found a mint condition, 7th Gen 160gb from my local pawnshop with the original packaging: box, unopened dock converter even the apple pamphlet, device plastic wrapping. The iPod only has smudges and no visible scratching on the mirror finish. The best way is I underpaid for this gem😭

Since when did the 4G nano have a square screen?!

EDIT: you cant swipe by the way, the dots at the bottom are a remnant of fb marketplace!!

Super proud of this build.

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

Connecting the remote control enables the use of the radio.

Yes I used scotch tape. Yes it stays.

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? 📚🎧

So I just bought an ipod shuffle forth gen and need help getting music on it from a lenovo 300e 2nd gen chromebook. And I don't have any music on itunes/apple music

Neither my 2nd gen Mini nor 7th gen Classic have ever given me issues like this before when I changed batteries/modded them. Even my 7th gen Nano and 4th gen Shuffle work better lmao.

I got it a couple years ago, and it lived in a drawer with a then-new battery in it. *Added: it has an iFlash, 128gb microsd. It only powers on when plugged into FireWire wall brick now. I have both a regular charging cable, and the Foxconn Diagnostic Cable. But now it bootloops between the Critical Battery Low symbol, and then actually boots up, then dies again. I put a brand new battery in, and it wouldn't even charge over FireWire, and just synced USB while slowly losing battery. But when that eventually died, it stopped responding entirely to either USB or FireWire. So I put the old battery back in, and now it's doing the looping again.

Should I leave the thing plugged in for a couple days or something to restart the battery? Or wait until that Sprout board is released so I can just pop it in lmao.

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.
