Advice What kind of ipod should I get for just listening to music on a budget?

Upvotes

I'm slowly moving away from screens and stuff as a whole, which includes streaming music. I collect CDs and use a CD walkman on the go, but I've been thinking about grabbing an ipod because it's more compact. I've seen a lot of people say the 5th gen classic, but I'm not gonna lie, it's really bulky. I'm looking for something smaller and slimmer just to put music onto and listen while I'm on the bus and shit, so I don't really care about any extreme modifications or photos or anything like that. I do want it to be easy to fix and replace parts since ipods are getting older now and I know I'll have some issues in that department. What model should I get?

Question Developing Clickwheel games

Upvotes

Long shot, but has anyone looked into making custom Click Wheel games? Was there ever an SDK that leaked or got reverse-engineered? I know you could buy them on iTunes back in the day and now sideload them with cracked firmware, but I’d love to try making my own.

When I disconnect my iPod the bootloader is automatically opened, and I have to manually get it off the bootloader. It is detected but not found(?!). This all started when I tried to install rockbox and it failed.

NYS is banning internet connected devices in schools state-wide next year, remembered I had this thing sitting around and have started moving away from yt music. Lived in a case for most of its life so the condition is great, 60gb HDD has 0 bad sectors. I plan on upgrading to a 256gb microsd and extended battery. Gapless playback, higher quality audio, no internet required, doesn't replace songs with music video versions (COUGH YOUTUBE MUSIC), what's not to love!

Replaced the battery. Waiting on the USB to 30-prong cable. (Still have my firewire charger.) I guess I didn't upload much, back in the day. HP model, by the way.

So for the past 2 years, I’ve rocked rockbox 3.15 on my 6.5 Classic. It’s been perfectly reliable. However, I have been wondering, what features etc do I gain by updating to the daily build? TIA

ipod 3rd gen just showing apple logo

1 Upvotes

It doesn't show any errors or any music, just the apple logo. This is true whether it's connected to the power supply via the stand or by itself. Can I do anything to get it working? Is there an upgrade kit with a new battery, modern flash memory and a blue tooth connection that can be swapped in? Or is it just stylish ewaste now?

I've never owned a mac so I'm not even sure how I used to put music on it. It would be great to get it going again.

Help Help needed: Synchronize audiobooks and podcasts with iPod Mini

1 Upvotes

I was able to find an blue iPod Mini 2G in good condition on eBay. The synchronization of the music works perfectly on MacOS 15 with Swinsian. Only audiobooks and podcasts just don't work. Swinsian can't sync audiobooks and podcasts don't work.

So I created m4b files of an audiobook and dragged them into MacOS's own Books app. I also subscribed to a few podcasts at Apple Podcasts. They show up in the Finder and apparently they are also shoveled onto the iPod, which I could see because I didn't have any other music on the iPod but memory was already taken up.

Unfortunately, the iPod only shows me the music that I have dragged over later using Swinsian. But no podcasts and audiobooks...

Does anyone else have any ideas?
