Ha. I was playing with my old one just yesterday. It’s the model with the touch sensitive wheel and 4 touch buttons.
The battery doesn’t even last 1 song anymore.
Then I have a newer one that I installed rockbox on. That’s kind of neat.

My mother in law found this one and was going to donate it when I snatched it away. I didn’t have any 30 pin adapters but luckily a friend of mine is a cable hoarder and gave me three brand new ones. I’ve got iPod classic as well with a burned out hard drive that I plan on installing an SD drive and rockbox on.

“Cable hoarder”? You mean “reasonable person,” right? Maybe “good decision maker”?

I modded my 4th gen, and replaced the battery while I was in there. The trouble with mine is that it won’t charge with USB, so I had to spend out on a FireWire charger. Also, the HDD in 4G is IDE, where the 5G+ are SATA, so if you do decide to mod a newer one you’ll need a new adapter.
It is pretty though. And very easy to mod.
