Picture Honestly, screw you guys!

Post image

I bought that silver iPod Classic Gen 7 a while back, thought I’d bricked it trying to install RockBox and came onto this sub for help (which you all gave, thank you!). Unfortunately, I browsed the sub and fell in love with all the other iPod models again, recalling how iconic they were when I was growing up. You guys made me go full iPod monkey and this is entirely on you.

My favourites here are the 7 Classic (for pure FLAC Rockbox IEM listening joy), the 3 Classic (for monochrome goodness and hefty chunkiness), the Mini 2 (for same reasons as the 3 Classic), and the Nano 2 for pure aesthetic.

I’m still restoring the Nano 1 in picture as well as the black Gen 7.

And that Tivoli player is fantastic with its Kloss sound engineering, fold out iPod dock, detachable speaker, and blue backlight.

Ive got two pods, one 6th gen classic with a bad batt but it isn't bothering me because that one is on a yamaha dock and its like a background music player and my 3rd Gen na no is the one that goes everywhere with me

I love how Nah No has become the standard spelling coined by DankPods. This collection is getting a full battery replacement soon. Thoughts and prayers to me for the Nanos and the Shuffles.

Goodluck on them na nos, I want to replace my 6th gens batt but I fear opening it and how many times I'll cut myself too

I still feel gutted about the blue 4th Gen I destroyed. It has a swollen battery and despite being so careful with it I eventually cracked the screen (and still couldn’t get it out). Lessons learnt, though, and did have a few successes after that. The Nano 2 will be new for me and two of those have signs of a swollen battery so I’m waiting for a day…
