I returned to an iPod for music consumption recently and it has helped me with reducing my nonsense screen time on the phone so much. The disconnected feeling when going for a walk, listening to music and never being interrupted by a notification or call … it's great. I prefer the 6 gen for the split screen menu & cover flow, it just looks a bit nicer even.
I recently fitted an iFlash hard drive replacement to mine and upped it to 128gb, I like that you can play music without having a notification quieten your music, or listen to music whilst you take a phone call.
There is an autoleveling feature that brings the volume of your songs closer together and it's fairly effective, but it has to be enabled in iTunes and you have to resync your entire library after enabling it. It essentially bakes the modified volume level into the MP3 on the device.
The best way to get music on an iPod is via ripped CDs. With CDs available at yard sales and thrift stores for pennies (or free at the local library) it is easy to fill your iPod with music you like. And by ripping whole CDs you get the whole artist’s vision, where album composition and editing plays a major role.
I used to own a classic 5.5 and a 3rd gen IPod I recently bought a 5.5 for £45 I haven’t stop using it since I bought it a week ago it great in my car and music in the house An guess what ? My phone battery life benefits from me re using an iPod 😊
OP missed the entire point of owning one of these. The Wolfson DAC that was only in the 5.5 version makes it possibly the best sounding iPod to-date. With proper listening gear, it is the best of the classic iPods in sound. And honestly, iPod users miss the touch wheel for manual volume control that can be held off from pocket touch with the original switch. Yes kids the original switch prevented butt-skipping.
Here’s the thing, the wolfson DAC doesn’t make much of a noticeable difference when it comes to sound. Especially if the music files are mp3 or acc. You’d have to get a mini DAC and in ear monitors to even get good usage from the Wolfson.
the wolfson dac actually sounds WORSE than the 6/7th gen and beyond.... people liked it because of its slight warmth and back in 2005 earbuds had no bass or very little. The newer ones actually have a cleaner, more accurate sounding DAC and a lower noise floor. I've confirmed this as I own a 5.5 as well as a nano with the newer dac. Over a stereo they sound the same but with modern headphones the newer ones actually sound a LOT cleaner. The wolfson DAC thing is a stupid myth that ignorant people have been spreading around almost 2 decades, now.
I think its better than an iphone i just mod mine it was 80GB now it's 128GB can't do that with the phone and i can put music on there that you can't find on spotify if you know where to get free music like youtube for example do it instead of paying for it i like when people see me with it and get annoyed i don't follow trends.
I was going to ask you how you downloaded your music from RUclips, but since you definitely didn’t do that then I suppose it would be pointless for me to even ask.
😂 I remember when I got my first iPod I was like 10 and I didn’t know what pirating was and I ended up buying around $150 worth of music of gift cards I would ask for my birthday until my friend showed me when I finally got to middle school
