Great video, I just bought a second gen Mini! Tip: Sometimes online when you are looking for a Mini, the photos are too low resolution to read the year it was made. If it has the capacity written on the back, it's a second gen. If it's not written on the back, it's a first gen. The capacity is much easier to see, so even in a low resolution photo you can tell if it has the capacity written or not.

The iPod Mini 2G is literally the greatest iPod ever. Small, light, and they used the incredible IBM Microdrive which at the time implied Apple MIGHT have been making them AT A LOSS. Rumors suggested photographers were picking them up on sale to get the 4GB Microdrives cheaper than they were sold individually. Also, the drive adapter pops off the board too, so just pull it off (gently) rather than trying to do what you did of wiggling the Microdrive out.

Hi Dankpods, After watching your channel I thought I'd do it myself. I took a risk and modded my 30gb 5.5gen ipod and put 448gb in it (which for some reason is 416gb in apple maths) . My library is only 18,200 tracks but 13,500 of them are large ALAC files from my CD collection so that's about 350gb, the rest are mp3s but everything has artwork. My ipod could cope with all 350gb of my alac files but started having trouble with all the mp3s as well and it didn't like showing album artwork unless it was rebooted after syncing. It maxed out at around 17,000 tracks with a few issues. So I wondered if I could make it all work perfectly. Luckily I managed to find a cheap 80gb 5.5gen, I took the back cover and front cover off my 30gb (I thought I'd use my front cover as I know where that's been), got a new battery and combined it all together. So now I have a monster slimline 448gb 5.5gen ipod that works like a dream, it'll even play the few old music videos I have and it has 30gb of space left over. And yes it shuffles. Thanks for the inspiration.

So I began modding these and here are my tips I’ve found 1) buy iFixit batteries, knockoffs can absolutely suck!!! 2) be careful removing top bezel, and moving motherboard/headphone jack. If the contacts unseat you’ll put together an iPod with no sound. 3) internals can be difficult to remove if battery is swollen, “it will fight you” 4) when re-adhering the bottom bezel, the tabs can easily break and prevent flush seat. Just remove and reapply 5) I use contact cement and q-tips for top/bot bezels, works like a charm.

Honestly, the Minis are probably my favorite. Best compromise between the Nano and the full-size bois with none of the drawbacks, like the Nanos battery/screen issues over time. When you consider the modding potential, it's amazing how cheap they are to find. Maybe I'm biased because my first iPod back in ye olden days was a first gen puke green Mini.

Great, I'm getting home late. THE ONE TIME I NEED TO LOOK AT MY IPOD MINI MORE THAN I NEED TO BREATHE!

5:53 Oh my banana. This is the first time I know you can turn on and off the back light of a iPod by holding the menu button! I’ve been use my second hand iPod 4 for a while. And every time I need to switch the backlight say I charge this thing beside my bed. I either need to sorting out where the menu are in the dark or let the backlight flash my eyes to blind! Thank you my generous dude to let me know that!

Idk if mr dankpods will see this comment but I've watched your content since 2019 and I have finally invested into two ipod minis, one for use and another for collecting as it is in perfect condition with its original box and accessories. I don't regret it one little bit! These nuggets hold up really well considering the age on them and now I've realised how fun the clickwheel iPods are! (I had only owned ipod touches prior). Thanks mate for the content its always a blast to watch :)

70k songs? Haha how do you know 70k songs? I don’t think I can even name 1000!

[@reallyfamousyoutuber]

50k vs 30k??? Where are you all even finding all this music??

[@DankPods]

Musician for a living so music is my life, been gathering for a long time!

[@reallyfamousyoutuber]

DankPods are you really??? Anything I’ve heard? And also, have you written 50k songs or something? 🤣🤣 that would be super impressive

[@Solidcancer07]

Name a 1000? Dang mate, I dont think I can even name 20 tbh

[@reallyfamousyoutuber]

Monochrome 4th gen. is one of my favorite electronics of all time. Also love the silent buttons and sound quality of the 3rd gen. and the battery life of the 5th gen. Threw a 128GB microSD in the 4th and 5th and use these 3 in combination throughout the week. Looking forward to getting a CF card in the 4th gen. (for that sweet 10% battery improvement, hah) and the HDD out of the 3rd gen. in the future. I've only got about 7600 songs at 75% ALAC, 155GB so all the good ones fit on 128GB just fine. Good times. Love these old things and these videos.

I just bought a 7th gen with the intention of modding it. Would I need to get a new front and back plate?

[@DankPods]

Not if youre real good/lucky

[@dump3deg6]

Ipod Minis are expensive now. Thanks to dankpods

[@velocity7493]

This channel has legit made me buy a 7th gen classic. But I have been having trouble downloading songs on it. Would love a vid on that. I love you dank.
