Krissy has been using her iPod Nano when she exercises for fifteen years at least, I'm vaguely surprised it still holds a charge. The music on it has not been updated since 2010 at least. She does not mind.

@scalzi My Fifth Gen Nano still works just fine. Not an Apple enthusiast by any means, but prior to getting that, I burned through at least four generic brand MP3 players (Sansa, Zen, etc) that all lasted less than a year apiece. Apple made good products with the iPod Nano line.
