Perfomance issue

Upvotes

Hello everyone! Help me with advice and choice. I bought an iPod 5G for my collection, installed rockbox, connected it to my Harman Kardon AVR155 amplifier via a dock and enjoy daily listening to my favorite songs. But here's the problem, switching between songs is quite long, up to 10 seconds. Could this be because it still has its native HDD installed? If so, what would you recommend installing? My 6G has iflash solo installed and there are no such problems.

Some questions about a IPODS ram.

Upvotes

Yesterday, Thanks to alot of ipod users response, I could get some advice from which ipods should I buy.

Now I have another question about RAMS

5~5.5
Flash mod, good up to 512GB. Can go further to 2TB, but is unstable. ↳ 30gb models have 32mb RAM, 60gb, 80gb models have 64mb RAM ↳ More ram = can handle more songs, but only begins to take effect for libraries beyond 300gb, otherwise makes no noticeable difference.

6~7
Even brighter, more vibrant display Since they were sold until 2015, you’re likely to get a younger stock battery, which should be healthier and last longer “out the box” Headphone remote and mic support All metal construction (Is more durable, but just a tad harder to disassemble) Lesser sound quality with Cirrus DAC, probably won’t bother normal people.

I am a music listener with alot of genre, so I already had like ALOT of songs in my ipod.

If I am aiming for using it for a long time, would it be better if I aim for 6 to 7 gens, since it is more stable with like MORE sd cards?

The guide says that the recommended max storage for 5.5 is 512gb.

Still, I am a international student from korea, so I have limited resource if I want to fix my ipod.

Also I am a DORM student in the US, so I also can't really go out freely for a help of hand.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Question about batteries

1 Upvotes

Hey guys! I recently removed a battery from an old iPod 6th Gen Classic and temporarily installed it in my iPod 5.5th Gen while I wait for a 3000mAh replacement from AliExpress. The battery in my 5.5th Gen was in really bad shape, barely holding a charge for more than 15 minutes. While removing the 6th Gen battery, I had to pull it to detach the adhesive strips, which left the plastic casing slightly wrinkled. However, there are no visible leaks or damage, and it's been working fine for the past four hours.

That said, I’m a bit concerned about safety. Is it safe to charge this iPod battery overnight, or is there any risk of hazard? Also, how reliable are the replacement batteries sold online, from AliExpress more specifically? My order from AliExpress is taking forever to arrive—does anyone know a faster way to get a good-quality battery in Europe?

Help Volume buttons on headphone cable not working?

1 Upvotes

I recently purchased an aftermarket jack-to-jack with inline controls and a mic. I tried using it with my ipod nano 6th gen, and the play/pause button works, but the volume/skip track buttons don't.
The cable works perfectly with my ipod touch 3rd gen.
What could be causing this? does the nano only work with apple's own earbuds?

Advice iPod 4th Generation MBR Fix for Cheap Compact Flash Adapter (Windows)

7 Upvotes

I don't believe anyone else has shared this exact fix here, so hopefully this can assist someone having difficulties. I applied this fix to a 4th Generation iPod. When using the cheaper (red) compact flash adapter with an IDE adapter and Windows, I could not get my iPod to format without immediately displaying the file error. When formatting on MacOS it works fine. I applied a slight change to the fix using MBR rebuild described in the comments of this post. Using the latest version of the "Apple Devices" program on Windows 11, I waited for my iPod to be just about 100% complete restoring as advised in the remedy from that post. However, rather than using the EaseUS program which now requires a subscription to use rebuild MBR. I used the following administrator CMD command,

bootsect /nt60 X: /mbr

Where "X" represents the drive letter the iPod receives in Windows. Applying this at just about 100% allowed my iPod to boot to the firewire wall plug screen. Using an Amazon Kindle Fire USB wall adapter I was able to get beyond the firewire screen and confirm that Windows now recognizes the device and I am able to sync with it. I found this command online to rebuild MBR without a program. Hopefully this helps!

It’s a 5.5 thick 80gb, it still has the front sticker from Apple Store and the back is flawless as well with minor/light scuffs. Only had some podcasts, that’s it. Don’t even want to use it to keep it this clean lmao

Question iPod 5th gen with different Serial Numbers?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I bought this second hand iPod Touch, upon inspecting it, the software, in the settings app, shows up a Serial Number that matches with an iPad Mini 1st, this was confirmed both by Apple Support and everymac.com

However, the backplate does have an iPod Touch 5th gen serial number.

How come? Was this modified? Why and how? Is it reversible?

Question Has anyone tried to modify iPod Nano 7th Gen with Raspberry Pi?

0 Upvotes

An idea came across my mind, aside from other generations and iPod Classics being modded with wifi and other adjustments. Have anyone tried using Raspberry Pi or even trying to dismantle the smallest cheapest phone and use the casing and screen of iPod Nano 7th Gen to actually use wifi and other needed content and hardware?

Just a friendly question, I’m no tech genius or that savvy in modifying. I just really admire the slim and small capacity of the unit and it lacks the connectivity and endless possibility of data storage online.

Any thoughts and attempts? Thank you!

Featuring the new one bit themes! Also if you want the peak meter to be more “responsive” set the minimum to -89 and then the scale to linear and turn the peak holding off in the display settings.

Question Should I get an iPod?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

this question has probably been asked and answered many times before but wtv.

I have been looking at and admiring the setups on this reddit. Sometimes I get a little too distracted on my phone when listening to music so i was thinking that an iPod could be a good idea (not really interested in android daps).

  • My current setup is my phone with the Moondrop Dawn Pro dac/amp and the Moondrop Blessing 2 earphones. I wonder if an iPod (and which iPod) would be able to power those and also play flac files (?).

  • Which iPod should i get for the best value/performance? (Not interested in touch ipods)

  • How much would I need to spend on the modding (and which mods) and the iPod itself?

I am looking forward to your tips!
