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 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.

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

Boxy pixel min kit

Super proud of this build.

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😭

Yes I used scotch tape. Yes it stays.

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.

….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.

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. 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, I bought an iPod 5 classic black on ebay long ago, cleaned it up, changed parts;

The front and back plate, screen, iFlashSolo with a 128* GB Sandisk card, new battery and that's it.
I installed RockBox 4 stable version, the entire software works perfectly fine.

Here's the issue, when I plug in my earphones there comes no noise out of it, when putting it on max volume I hear soft static noise, some old television noise and ticking sound like that of a modern analog clock iykwim.

Even with no song playing! (important edit sorry.)

I've used 2 pairs to be sure it's not on my earphones.
Opening my iPod up I see nothing wrong with the hole for the earphones.

I hope some of you can help me and if so thank you very much, I don't know what to do.

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.

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 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 :)

i found an ipod video on FB marketplace for $10 and the screen had big, big black stains.

i tried rubbing them out, the screen is now usable, but it looks like ass TBH.

do i continue rubbing it, wait, something else?

it looked like this

now it looks like this

the blacks are worse tbh

im not feeling like spending about $100 on a new screen, does anyone that has more experience doing this fix can tell if its hopeless or if it can be made to look better?

edit: looking better

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

مساء الخيرات محتاج مساعدتك لو تسمح في جهازي ايبود كلاسيك الجيل السادس ظهر سميك اقدر اتواصل معاك ازاي

Just covering my bases for anyone who's seen this in multiple places. Thank you everyone!

First the version number in the iPod simulator hinting at this calendar week, now the monochrome style Apple Music Icon.

I’ve been looking for 11 months. And I genuinely cannot find a nano or shuffle that is

not cracked

under 50$

holds a little bit of a charge

isnt damaged beyond recognition

it’s genuinely frustrating because I just can’t find a iPod nano or shuffle that is decent. I looked multiple places online and the prices are just far too high. And when I find one it sells out instantly. I just feel very lost and left out at this point.
