Yesterday, I installed an iFlash Solo SSD and new battery into my iPod Classic 6th Gen. The suggestion is to format to FAT32 in advance, but turns out that the iPod restore will do that automatically. I've been stuck in a cycle of my device either rejecting the format or saying my device needs to be repaired. I did at one point get Rockbox with @dook 's Themify theme going. I haven't gone as far as getting music that I synced from MusicBee to play yet, it just skips the tracks endlessly. I was surprised that MusicBee uses the iTunes API, so if I want to remove iTunes, I'll have to consider switching to foobar.

tbh im at the point now where idk if I wanna bluetooth mod my #iPod anymore.

I love my bluetooth earbuds. But you know what I don't love? Knowing that in 3 years, their batteries will die, and I'll have to buy an entirely new set. Fuck this. I'm so tired of doing it.

The latest find was from my trip to Anchor Electronics to get the GPS receivers (a separate post once I test them out), and I found this battery pack labeled for iPhone 3G & 3GS which has the 30 pin that works on iPods! Once I found the right powered charger and charged up the battery it works great with my classic iPods.

This is actually a really great reflection video of the past 50 years of Apple. Lots of great memories for the small part my life intertwined with some of these stories.

Also, APPLE ][ FOREVER!!
