This is how I’ve been listening to music on the go for a year now. Which is how I’ve always listened to music on the go before streaming services got popular. One of my several iPods (today it was a 4th-gen iPod touch), a good pair of WIRED headphones (whose play/pause/volume controls are instantly recognised), and off I merrily go.

@morrick The old Music app on iOS 4 to iOS 6 was already great. When I look at my 2nd-gen iPod Touch with iOS 4.2, that’sthe one app I care most about, since it’s an iPod first abd foremost.

@Arcticulate It’s true. Absolutely.

Though the app you’re seeing in the photo is a third-party app (now unavailable, I think) called Ecoute.

@morrick Aah! The thing is that the 2nd generation of my iPod Touch couldn’t be updated past iOS 4.2.x. So, I was making assumptions (unfortunately) that I was looking at a picture of not only a newer version of the OS but also the Music/iPod app.

The hardware was good enough to run the OS, unlike iPhone 3G. Performance: in-between iPhone 3G and 3GS. Stuttered when going in and out of apps, sometimes, though. Especially in 3D games. But, for music it was a perfectly fluid experience.

@morrick Do you have a 2nd-gen iPod Touch as well, in your collection of hardware? If you already told me in the past, then I forgot about it (sorry).

@Arcticulate No, I have a first-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-gen iPods touch in my collection 😄

@morrick Haha!! I have the missing link! 😆.
(Then there’s the 6th and the very last 7th generation, of course)
