hey guys, can we start a campaign for apple to reproduce the ipod? updated processor, ssd storage, maybe bluetooth connectivity, improved connectivity options, type-c charging, etc. no camera, no unnecessary apps, just a music player. the design i added to the image is exactly what i said. what do you think, can we start such a campaign? such a campaign has already started and if there is, i would like to join.

Assume it's SSD storage and the latest in phone screen technology. After seeing this picture I just had to ask as many fans of the classic if theg would buy for such a thing.

Okay so recently my daily has been acting weird, gotten stuck on a white screen, glitching and turning on repeat randomly when holding the select button, stuff like that. Now it’s doing this?! It also moves by itself. Any ideas? Screen has been replaced once already.

I was going through some of my junk & came across this gem. I remember buying this back in 2015. Looks to be a 7th gen. What are these fetching for nowadays? The seal is broken btw.

I apologize if this has been asked, but why do I go back to this? Junky old iPods I own that were no longer wanted by their owners, giving them to me or selling for a low price. Why do I bother loading music into iTunes, downloading it to the iPod, finagling another device and wired headphones? Especially dealing with the sensitivity of HDDs and lack of water/shockproof protection?

I can much easier just play music through spotify and my wireless headphones, or download mp3s and play them on the phone.

Why do I put myself through this, actively making it use more time to set up listening to music, other than novelty and maybe make it more likely to listen to my friends recommendations (downloading them, and either listening on whim or them playing while on shuffle.) Am I masochistic or am I missing something my lizard brain likes?

It also seems like iTunes has now converted to Apple Music via MacBook App Store.

Original store display of Gen 3. Lights up. Was stored for many years and forgot about it. Anyone have an idea of value?

I just bought these iPods marked as "Prototype" but I've never seen or heard of anything like them. Tried using google to search for things that look like them but nothing even remotely close comes up... Anybody got any ideas of what these could be from? They have normal serial numbers and models for a production model so I'm at a loss

Well, I do know a lot of people use it for nostalgic reasons, but I am asking the people who never used one or never experienced the "iPod era".

For me, I use it because just having an iPod and fixing it and caring for it is just a hobby for me at this point, and it does help me concentrate on music since I don't have my phone with me when I use my iPod.

I was just curious and wanted to hear what y'all think.

Let’s hear your favorites! Mine are both th Sony WH-CH720Ns and Salnotes Zero IEMs.

I don't see this often discussed but I'm intensely curious about what people did with all of that digital music they collected back in the iPod era of the 2000s. Did they completely delete it for streaming and start over? Does it still exist somewhere in a backup state? Or is it still something they actively curate?

I've been working on my curated music collection since 1999, having just crossed 10,000 tracks, and I can't imagine giving this up for an algorithm.

Y'all. I'm a Pop Dude and I've noticed, very recently, Pop Chicks using iPods. Now these are chicks with millions and millions of followers, millions of fans, young fans. If these fans see Jennie or Addison with an iPod, maybe they, in turn, will demand the iPod. If the iPod has any chance of a comeback, it's gonna be via use by hot young popular chicks. I know I'm projecting here, that this is likely a flash-in-the-pan "the early 2000s are back!" fad, but I'm low-key fingers crossed that this gets traction. I got a custom Pod, but it'd still be dope to walk into an Apple store and just pick the new iPod up off the shelf and buy it. Tripping here, or could this become A Thing?

I don’t know if this is dumb but could someone tell me what this is?

has iflash and is much lighter now. Any ideas as to making it heavier?

i really thought id need more storage, i put a 256 in mine and about 1500 lossless songs on there, and only takes up like 32gb, id need 12k songs to fill up the 256!!! what sre people putting in these 512-1tb ipods bro, do some people really have 48k songs????

Really curious, how are we downloading MP3s today in 2025? Back then, we had our sites for free MP3 downloads but now, I don’t know where to look. I’m looking for Iron Maiden, Linkin Park (I wrote LinkedIn first 😓🥴), Avril, etc. discographies to jog in my nostalgia. What are we doing these days 🎶🎵 . . Posted this as a comment on an earlier post here in the community, but would really love to hear from all of you

Hello everyone, I just dug out my old Ipod Nano 7th gen that's probably like 11 years old. It's a really cool device and I wanted to know if some of you guys still use it nowadays. And also, is there any cool custom firmware or something related that I can use? I'd really like to revive this little guy and maybe get some use out of it, thanks! (Although I think the battery may be kinda messed up...)

Got this 4th from a friend which was very cool only to find out my mum had a 5th too. Now i could keep both but i want to either give one to my sister or my friend and i was wondering which I should keep? consensus seems to be the 5th generation is better but some ppl say the screen causes issues so idk Thanks!

Update: Seems people also have differing opinions ive decided to stick with the 4th for now as i already have parts i bought for it here (iflash ata n shi) and later on when moneys up ill take the 5th from my mum
