I Bought An iPod In 2024!

[@jsampagaerice]

Apple should really bring the iPod back

[@Dwayneff]

AGREED!!! We live in a time where music is everywhere, we use our phones as our media player. Which is fine, but as an avid music listener. I don't FEEL connected to my music because my phone is getting calls, driving I don't really lose myself in music because I'm driving and focused. I don't get to just sit back, relax, and lose myself in music because my phone is just that. A phone. I don't have a dedicated music player. I wish Apple would realize that.

[@missv7689]

They probably will after seeing how iPods are making a comeback

[@kevinsolgaard1]

Just me being a bit of a pessimist, but they'd probably somehow put Apple Music streaming on it anyway and really insist the users subscribe and use it. Maybe even to they point where they'd offer the option of a version of the device with cellular connection, and make it unnecessarily difficult to load your own music-files on to it... but hey, maybe they'll just be nice to us and release a classic 8 with a top tier DAC. Would be sick!

[@dyrik]

streaming subscription services have ruined everything with entertainment. Welcome to enjoying your music

[@burgundyonly]

They ruined movies, music and gaming, 😞

[@СергейЧеркашин-н8л]

Hello. If you need to import your cd music collection on iMac or MacBook without additional device and iCloud, you can use an external cd drive. I’m using cheap model from ASUS and it works great on MacBook Air m1. And yes, Apple Music can rip cd in good order with different apple formats. Apple Music will guess album, artist and add standard cover.

[@OrinSorinson]

I will always encourage people to get physical versions of everything they can. Always try to do that so that you can own the things that you buy. For your setup in this video, get an external optical drive for your mac ( ASUS makes a lot of them ) for something like 30 bucks, and you can import/rip your CD directly from music/itunes, and also get the artwork and album info without much hassle.

[@burgundyonly]

Yea I plan on getting that. I usually collect Vinyls but now collecting CDs might also be the way to go because the audio quality is leagues better and very noticeable. Thanks for the recommendation might make a YT short about it!

[@DavidHamilton5]

Depending on your library, you can borrow lots of cds for free and rip them. I was checking mine and the selection was pretty decent

[@suggestable]

Hi! Welcome to the IPod club, what you actually have is a 6.5 gen and not a 7th, the 6.5 came in 120GB whereas the 7th was 160GB only, The only downside really is you will be limited to 128GB when flashmodding.

[@burgundyonly]

Oh ok thanks for clearing that up for me! I Love the iPod community here glad its still so alive!

I love how he randomly pressed shuffle and the songs popped out are out of my favorite albums

[@kblack3970]

Nice! I still use my ipod touch 4th and 7th gen with an Oppo HA2se sometimes my ipad 6th gen. I was stuck with transferring music and your vid helped me out! Thank you

[@TyroSean]

There’s a shortcut to the shuffle setting - when playing a song, on the now playing page press your select button several times. You’ll cycle through being able to scrub through the song, adjust volume, shuffle, and song rating options which you use the wheel to increase/decrease

[@transitengineer]

Thank you, for sharing this excellent overview of your use of a classic iPod 7th generation model. In 2014, I picked-up my first iPod a classic 5th generation model to use with my new Hyundai Sonata which, has been working great for the last 10-years. In addition, to having music CD's and downloaded iTunes music my iPod, it also has Podcast and classic radio dramas from the 1940's and 1950's which, are perfect for long airline flights (smile ... smile).

[@druemccormick]

I had the same gap as you. After purchasing a 5.5 video off of eBay. I’ve slowly started a collection of nanos and classics by searching marketplace and offer up. It’s cool to have your classic for the house or trips but having a 2nd or 3rd gen nano or even a shuffle for work outs is so nice. the small storage options make me be a lot more selective of my playlist

[@theretrouniverse]

Great video dude! You deserve way more subscribers keep it up!

[@darthrap456]

I was just thinking about buying one and imagined listening to MBDTF on it. Seeing the album (and many others) on your list made me smile lol I'm gonna have to rewatch this video in anticipation till I find a good one

[@badgd928]

I recently got iPod 3rd Gen. I love the led backlight and touch button

[@jree8239]

You mentioned Walkman. I bounce between the ipod classic and an A45 walkman. I like the Sensme ability of the walkman. It creates playlists based on mood/tempo. Nice video!

[@louiekim824]

Oh man this is so nostalgic I remember really REALLY wanting my cousin’s iPod during my early teens 😭

[@PinkPrettyGorgeous]

Idk how I wound up here but welcome to the good side of music! I still have my iPod Nano as well as 6 gen from back in the day…. I will say watching you explain ripping a cd threw me until I realized not a lot of younger kids weren’t tween/teens during the iPod era😅

[@burgundyonly]

As a kid the words ripping and burning CDs scared me idk why so i never did it😭😭😭.

[@nguyendang3194]

For me as a teen student what I do for music is using my I phone SE 3 only and have no data on my device and only calls and text feature. I delete all social media apps off of my phone and only have KZbin when near a Wi-Fi to used it. Then I turned off all notifications instead of weather alert in case of bad weather. I only have 64 gig of storage that is good enough for me using music wise. I just wish that apple will bring back the FM radio like the old I pod 6 generation nano that has it for local radio station music or over the air stations.

[@FullaEels]

gotta compliment your production quality, your colour grading is great, particularly that one shot of you sitting on the bench. i love my ipod(s) modded a 7th gen that i saved from scrap.

[@burgundyonly]

Thanks! I try to work on the color grading a lot. I had a few bad ones in the past 😅 but i’m so happy you liked it🙏🏾

[@wesselbeer8041]

Lately I have been blessed with small creators making insanely good videos. You are one of them, insanely good video keep it up

[@burgundyonly]

Thanks a lot! I’ll keep the grind up and keep improving every video! 🙏🏾

[@pyrexino]

such a good quality video for your “small” channel! Keep it going man and thank you for

[@playeveryday01]

Thanks for including the background music links. Most people don't even bother.

[@ssarkisian]

You also can convert FLAC to ALAC effortlessly with XLD

[@LeonardoSantos-kt2mo]

fiz a mesma coisa por enquanto tem sido bem legal, abandonei o Spotify e o Apple Music, é legal aquela sensação de saber exatamente oque tem na sua biblioteca e escolher cada álbum

[@zambiethebully]

Totally agree with the goal and I've tried same thing but with an iPod nano. Found that it just created too much friction to listen to music and that's not what I wanted. I wanted to make it as easy as possible to listen to the music I own rather than stream it. So I still use my phone for music and the Apple Music app. It's surprisingly still accessible to the music downloaded or you own, thankfully it's a music app first and streaming app second (for now). Besides the Apple Music banners on iTunes and on albums I don't own it's been pleasant experience. On the Mac you can even disable Apple Music tab and it will hide from view. I get the idea to distance yourself from the phone but tech like this is only getting older and older and problems with them will only grow not shrink. Hope apple or a third party can create a music player for those not wanting to use their phone for everything, kinda like Analogue with GBA games. Niche products can work, but they will be niche.

[@MDamyanov19]

Yo guys I just got my first iPod, I think it’s a 6th gen, 80gigs all black, so far it’s really cool

[@GuiOfficial]

I don't remember correctly because my 7th gen died, but if you press and hold either the center button or the play/pause. You can open an option to repeat songs or go to artist directly from the playback screen.

[@harshenvy]

i’m getting an ipod 7th nano, suppa exited. very informative video;)

[@8BitFishing]

Still using my good old ipod with ripped musics from the 2000s era 😂 Quick tips: upload only apple lossless format. Do not install rockbox. Upgrade your storage to SD card and add 3000mah battery and you are all set for 3-5 days of music without charging it

[@ballooneyjr4294]

Why not rock box?

[@8BitFishing]

@@ballooneyjr4294 it’s too buggy like battery percentage is not accurate, iPod randomly restarts while music was playing etc.. good thing only for rockbox is that you can drop and drag any file type of music but the constant issues is the reason why I don’t like it

[@ballooneyjr4294]

@@8BitFishing good to know, I was considering it because sometimes I have issues with iTunes recognizing my device and it’s a pain to format movies

[@espiderman690]

the quality of the video is great. i love the stuff you've said in the video. but i personally would like the speaker a big closer to the camera. i feel like that makes it more like a conversation and feels more personal while watching the video. but if standing slightly away from the camera and speaking is your thing, go ahead. i'm glad youtube recommended a high quality content creator. all the best.

[@burgundyonly]

Thanks a lot for watching! yea I wanted to try something a bit different with this one. Thanks a lot for the feedback I appreciate it!

[@sanin805]

Your video structure is well made and not boring.

[@KenzieTrinityDeasy]

I love my classic 5th gen, I also own I 1st gen and 3rd gen Nano, great if I only want a few artists and not a plethora of others,

[@derKaiser28]

Still have a 5th generation with the Wolfson dac. Still works :)

[@denniszenanywhere]

Mine is broken 😢 I bought it 10 years ago on Craigslist and it was broken

[@stormrider01]

I went for the 5.5 80gb to have the best audio quality. I am thinking of modding it if the battery gets bad over time. Then while you are in there changing the battery you could upgrade the storage also.

[@arisdogani1272]

this is awesome but quick question: does it integrate with the apple ecosystem?

[@Rockersoutherngirl420]

Yes we failed with that aspect I’m not spending money monthly to stream music when I could get an iPod and download it for free ❤going back to the old ways with this one for sure

[@Tholi]

Apple doesn't support FLAC, but they use ALAC. You can just convert your FLAC files to ALAC. iPod DAC isn't good, playing lossless is pointless unless you buy an external DAC for it.

Seeing Outkast, Michael Jackson, Prince, Kendrick Lamar, Marvin Gaye & MF DOOM in your Ipod? You definitely can get the aux cord bro!

[@arenderos1]

Well in the early 2000s Flac was not the popular format at the time compared to others from that time MP3 and WAV files were more popular so that’s why iPod wasn’t supporting FLAC at the time

[@burgundyonly]

ALAC is a great alternative

[@PopCultureGamers]

Good video but I am really confused why you don't just rip music from CDs in iTunes and then they can sync up with you iPod when you plugged it in? This is exactly as it always has been with the iPod. You can specify what format and bit rate to rip music from CD in iTunes as well. Don't use windows media player and do all the dragging, etc.

[@burgundyonly]

@@PopCultureGamers i didnt have an external dc drive😭. I’m getting one though

[@PopCultureGamers]

@@burgundyonly Yes I sawy you were using someone elses but if you get an external drive just use itunes, much easier and quicker. I do that with all my music, about 500 albums.

I installed rockbox on the ipod and it is great. iTunes is still on it too, but I don't use it

[@thatshuynhduc]

@@burgundyonly thanks, this video inspired me to go back for OG tech 😆

[@clydeosterhout1221]

I have never had an issue with iTunes identifying tracks from store bought disks. Burned disks can have issues. If iTunes isn’t sure which CD you’re copying it will prompt you to choose the proper option. iTunes is an old piece of software. Older users are going to be comfortable with it that younger ones as it involves an aged interface and requires older hardware, like CD drives. Having said that, once you get to know it it works well. The integration with the iTunes Store and Apple TV is amazing as the classic iPods haven’t been sold in years! If you want to play videos downloaded from Apple TV on your iPod make sure you have iTunes set for SD video downloads.
