🤔

decided to upgrade an old ipod mini

wat

opened it up

replaced the battery

swapped out the 4gb *mechanical* hard drive

with 128gb flash storage

That's nice

Didn't know that was possible

How difficult would it be to do something similar with my iPod classic?

Shouldn’t be too hard

Probably easier than a mini

All you need is a standard CF card of any size you like

And just swap

Or get a SD to CF card like I did

Then you just plug it into your computer and iTunes will do the rest

Pretty ingenious. Hipster as fuck though, especially when you break out the old cables.

As long as it still uses 3.5 for headphones and USB for charging/data, that’s fine

Also iPods have EQ settings

Like a lot of them

Which is neat

the 4gb to many many gigaboits is actually really cool

I liked the clickwheel as well

Imagine one with a USB-C

I'm surprised there isn't a super active modding community for these things

and if there is why it isn't more prevalent

there is for the old ipods

Some of these are pretty neat

you can install rockbox on all of the ipod classics

awt

I don't see a benefit to rockbox though. Not like you would use an iPod in the current year for anything but listening to music

i swear to god if they pull a bait and switch 😡

ill just keep listening to my awful es3s

with rockbox you can use it better without having to install itunes I think, idk I don't own one
