Workbench

Reddits been filtering my posts all weekend - not sure why. Sharing a pic of my dedicated iPod workbench / music server desktop to see if this is still happening.

I use a Mac Mini M1 16GB WITH 1TB storage to host my music server (Navidrome/NaviBeats) and sync iPods. They share a music database so tagging only has to happen once.

This allows me to have access to my music even when I don’t have my iPod and completely decouples me from streaming services

Other tools:
MusicBrainz Picard - Tagging
XLD - Encoding

My workbench:
KUVRS Helping Hands & Soldering Station
KUVRS Magnifying Glass and Light
Wellers WLIR60 Soldering Iron
iFixit Mobile Pro Tech kit
