I downloaded old iTunes. I'm struck by how much more customizable it is than Apple Music and the rest of it.

My iPod is also 17-year-old. 120GB. Works perfectly. Even got a Bluetooth adapter. No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking. Just a durable, functional device. Enshittification is real.

I just recently decided I will make the existing tech I have work for me even if it means spending hours going through forums to figure out how to get older sh*t that worked way better than newer sh*t. It's incredible how much control over our own purchased products we have lost in 10-15 years.

@ayoub Just had similar experience with MS legacy media player. It seems the new(er) one doesn't let you rip CDs. Gave up Tidal & gone back to physical media.
