I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well

  Not to brag, but this is my mp3 in 2026: Image

  It plays wonderfully. But only works with Windows XP for transfers…

  Jealous yours works. The battery on my 1st gen 2gb bloated and killed the screen. But apparently there was a recall on them years before, so I sent it in to apple and they sent me a 7th gen 16gb, which I still use. At the time it just felt like an upgrade, but now I kind of wish I just fixed the 1st gen

  Apple products are great. The Apple ecosystem, not so much. If you’re into FOSS computing and FOSS media formats, you’re not going to have a good time.

  And the battery didn’t bulge a few hours after a full charge?

  Doubt it.

    And the battery is an absolute nightmare to replace on any of the Nanos…

      I find the nano to be the easiest. The itouch is the hardest

  I miss my Zune. Best music player ever.

  Recently resurrected a nano; it’s 20 years old. Works fine.

  My full size iPod though won’t boot. Just clicks and reboots constantly. I think the hard drive is toast.

    Replace it with flash, bonus battery life too.

  I still use my iPod mini plugged into a music centre of the same vintage. I don’t update it though, its lovely having my 2004-5 music capsule.

  Still don’t understand why people don’t just use your “phone”?

    IDK why you feel that way. But I don’t know you like Google or Apple does.

    Exactly. How are we supposed to track him?

  Rockbox supports modern codecs including Opus, so you can fit nearly 4 days of decent quality music on a 4GB iPod.

  Weirdly I picked 2 up yesterday. 1st gen I think battery isn’t to bad, I’d almost forgotten the swish around the wheel.

  Also go a gen5 but the battery was shagged! Plugged it in and it went pop.

  If anyone like getting their hands dirty with tinkering, then you can get inspiration from Zac’s YouTube video about modernising an iPod.
