Just a brief addition to that intro: Walkmen were actually pretty small (sizes range but generally around 13 by 7 cm) and the cassettes actually sounded really nice (still use old sound formats as a hobby). Plus, with 90 mines of music per cassette it was quite portable. BONUS: The sony discman existed for cds

I miss my iPod classic SO much. That thing lasted SO long and it was so reliable. When mine finally died, I could no longer find one to buy except second hand online and I was worried that they wouldn't work. I just recently got a new iPod touch. I know my phone CAN play music, but i prefer to use my phone's memory for games and photos, not songs! I am dreading the day ipods disappear entirely :(

iPods never die, the battery just becomes too old. You take your iPod to get a new battery installed and then it’s good as new. The only problem is that as time goes by the batteries for the iPod become harder to find.

[@dyna6448]

Important note: most iPod nanos are affected by battery expansion and for reason are a fire hazard. They were very small which allows no headroom for expansion and causes black spots on the screen. Swollen batteries were hard to repair on some models because it involves soldering and you have to slide the internals out. Due to this, Apple recalled the first generation of the nano in 2011 and the iPod nano lineup is the most notorious one amongst the iPod community.

A couple of years ago, my aunt moved from another country. She brought an iPod Nano (the recent one) and I was impressed by this. The songs were just some German podcast that's she is trying to learn German from. As she recently moved to Michigan, she told me to keep it and I was happy. To this day, the iPod feels very valuable to me even though it doesn't have a bunch of features.

Oh, how cute. You miss your little iPod. But let me tell you, you're missing out on so much more. Sure, an iPod might be cute and portable, but it pales in comparison to the true audio excellence of a Discman CD player. Why settle for a device that looks good but offers subpar sound? Upgrade to a Discman, and you'll never look back. You'll wonder why you ever settled for less. So, my friend, before you get too sentimental about that iPod, remember: you deserve better. Go blue and experience true music bliss!

Man this video made me remember my older sister's pink ipod nano back in the day. It was hers but i remember hijacking it when she wasnt using so i could listen to her songs lmao. It was, like, the only viable way for me to listen to music. Someone stole the thing while she was in a birthday party, i remember getting really sad about it. And then after a while i got an ipod touch !! It was awesome and it was my main eletronic device at the time. I had like a crappy phone back then, used only for calls, and did everything else in the ipod with wi fi connection and whatnot. I have so many good memories with this thing. I still have it, and i know it works last i checked, but i dont have the charging cable anymore. Still hold it close to my heart though!! Nowadays i just find it easier to use my phone for music. Which is quite a shame, honestly. I know we're at a point where technology has evolved so much we don't need multiple devices for different things. Im thankful for that i guess. But i just think that things had so much more charm back then. Before smartphones, phones had awesome designs and they dared be creative and fun and different. No phone was like the other. Now everything looks the same. Even the last ipod is just an iphone but it cant make calls, clearly looking the part. Idk. Im venting i guess. I know technology is supposed to be the easiest, best thing it can be. But its so... boring. Idk if its just the bostalgia kicking in, and maybe it is, but i feel like a lot of new technologies simply lack personality. Amyway im gonna stop rambling now lmao.

My first iPod ever was a 4th generation shuffle red. Damn that thing followed me around the world, during my workouts and it's still with me and works perfectly. After that iPod it started my obsession, and I use all of my iPods regularly. I bought and sold a lot of them but right now I have an iPod 3rd generation 40gb, a 5.5 generation 80gb, another 5.5 80gb in pristine conditions with box and everything, a 7th 160gb, a 4th generation shuffle,a 2nd generation nano and soon I'm gonna buy a mini 2nd generation that I'm going to upgrade to 128gb. I love repairing and modding them but what I mostly love is that there's a humongous community behind it that refuses to give up on this device. I don't like Apple products but the iPod has an important space in my heart and it will always be special to me.

Mini discs and MP3 CD Walkmans where both ‘a thing’ post Walkman, pre iPod. Also you showed some MP3 players that existed before the iPod (like the Creative Labs). Apple didn’t invent the MP3 player - they just did it far, far better than the competition.

[@Solitaire001]

That is true. By using a hard drive to store the audio instead of a flash storage Apple was able to provide a large amount of storage space but still keep it relatively affordable. Plus, their design was better than other players of that time. I had a Creative Zen player and found it very difficult to use (software wasn't very good, the player had controls that were almost impossible to use). For me there were only two significant negatives to the iPod: (1) the relatively short battery life, and (2) the need to have to use iTunes (which I strongly dislike). Those caused me to seek out alternatives and I found the Sony Walkman Digital Audio Player (which I still use to this day).
