Help me fill my #ipod looking for music to relax and vibe to whether I’m working, walking, or working out like some trance music or electronic dance music similar to Tiesto, Lily Pita, and more. I can grab it off #applemusic and such and convert it to music for my iPod offline. I will pay for music as well as I am able to to support artists.
Drop artists, albums, or even sets you love below please! I got about 220GB of space available!
Finally got my #ipod fixed and modified it a bit more. Upgraded from 128GB to 256GB, replaced the loose black headphone jack and hold button with a white one that has a tight grip on the headphones now, where as it easily fell out with little effort. Replaced battery as I didn't trust the one previously installed as the guy also put a weak headphone jack that eventually busted the screen I had to replace. Also color changed it to blue now #righttorepair#audiophile#music
It's an odd quirk of #iPod maintenance, that the Apple-made device almost always works perfectly once its been formatted by a Windows machine, while - in my experience - formatting with macOS results in the thing refusing to work.
Put a new SD card in my 4th gen Classic last night, formatted it with my MacBook, and it refused to work properly. Just made Finder hang.
Formatted it with @Troggie's PC this morning, and it's currently happily slurping up music from my Mac.
If anyone's interested in jumping on the #iPod train, this one looks like an absolute steal.
Firstly, it's a 4th gen, and they're lovely (I have one), but it also appears to come with a FireWire charger, which can perform necromancy on apparently Very Dead iPods.
I paid £35 for my FireWire charger alone, so an extra £20 for the iPod is pretty decent.
I finally got parts in to repair my #ipodclassic for tomorrow's stream. New battery and cases. Hopefully we can get both of the #ipod repaired or at the least get one fully functioning. Also the HDD cable in case that was the issue on the other one, double-sided tape for device repair from my cell phone repair days and you can catch me on #Twitch around 7PM EST tomorrow. We'll do some more #qubesos and #Linux tinkering and #gaming #gamingonlinux#streamer#infosec#cybersecurity#righttorepair
Is there any software that lets me manage an iPod Classic on a modern Mac (Ventura), or am I stuck using iTunes on Windows? #Apple#tech#iPod#music#MacOS
While I am unashamedly obsessed with vinyl, CDs remain one of the most cost effective ways to consume music and build your physical music collection - I have just collected the entire Manic Street Preachers back catalogue for around £15, thanks to Music Magpie on eBay mainly and their special offers!
Well that’s fun learned my #Twitch to #Discord bot wasn’t working for a bit thanks to @karadanvers well good news is I didn’t make that bot but my Twitch to #Mastodon bot is still working wonderfully! There is also a stream later today too we’ll be reinstalling #QubesOS and repairing and modifying my two #Apple#iPod classics #infosec#cybersecurity#raspberrypi
I finally got my iPod working. 128 gigs of storage. I saw somewhere you could get 3000mah batteries. 1000mah should plenty without having a spinning disk to worry about. #ipod
Sorry I haven’t streamed on #Twitch in a week as I was sick all of last week and then had a power outage on Sunday. Tonight is the 4th of July in the USA so no stream. I’m going to resume on Thursday @ 7EST with Tech Talk & #GamingonLinux and then Sunday @ 3EST we will do the @QubesOS reset on my @purism Librem 14 laptop and #ipod classic mod and repair stream. We’ll also get into discussing the Reasonably Secure Cryptocurrency Workflow I was tinkering with.

It twists my melon that Apple have such a hard on for obsoleting old tech, yet I can hook a 20 year old device up and sync without any issues at all. Granted, I needed a USB-A > C adapter, but other than that, I may as well be using an old plastic MacBook.
I just ordered new backplates for my iPod Classic since I’m opening them up anyway for repairs. New ones will have new headphone jacks pre installed since that was one of the repairs earlier. Looking at the diagrams I’m certain a screw is missing or broke off which may be why my screen is broken now. I’ll hopefully have all parts by Sunday’s stream if not it will be next week for #twitch#righttorepair#ipod#apple#streamer
I just went to a half dozen repair shops for my iPod screen repair. Not a single one does iPod repair anymore? Why the hell did all of you pay for SEO optimization to be placed on Google for "iPod Repair" and some even allow it as an option for the appointment. Waste of time. Guess I will be ordering replacement parts along with a second iPod I will modify to be a slim iPod with a bigger battery and flash memory. #Righttorepair#Apple#iPod
