Andy ZeigertJust found in this in the back of a closet. Does not seem to want to start up. ☹️
Oh shit oh wait the progress bar is actually... progressing.
It recovered! But will not connect to my m2 MacBook…
Right. Later versions of macOS lack support for FireWire. Hmmm.
I thiiink if I can find the right usb to 30 pin connector I might still be able to make this work with Tahoe. Of course my ~200GB actual mp3 collection is on a drive that is not plugged in currently. I do have a 2010-era iMac that already has the library on it and is running an older version of macOS. Might be time to boot that sucker up.
The battery on this sucker ain't what it used to be. I still have a nice dock with a line out and a bluetooth speaker that has a line in. I might set it up as the kitchen iPod.
Created a new playlist for syncing. It's interesting going back through this iTunes library that I haven't added to since ~2011. What music am I still into? Iron & Wine? Sure. Gorillaz? Less so.
