Trying to use the first iPod, too many years later

The first iPod is 18 years old- and I picked one up a bit ago. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it wasn't as easy to get it up and running as a modern device, so in this video let's go over the steps necessary to make the iPod completely usable!

If you buy a digital album from an online service such as the iTunes store, Amazon MP3, or eMusic, you have no legal right to lend that album to a friend, as you could if you had purchased a CD_ .

Battery life is a bit rubbish, but I mainly have it docked into a hifi with an old 30 pin connector onboard. I always preferred the Classic over the other iPods. Storage means more songs. And high quality as well. Kinda got superseded when my iPhone storage matched and surpassed its storage. But still, an absolute gem of a device.

Gerrad Reynolds because they are a publicly traded for-profit company. Apple wants customers who don’t have a problem with spending money, not penny-pinchers. And they use proprietary connectors because of quality control. Lightning, unlike USB-C, has no maybes. You plug in and go to power up, sync data and to play music through certain cars and stereos. A given USB-C cord may or may not support all of those things, and there are no industry standards for it.

Nice Ford Mustang (and Hugh Jeffreys mention). Also the original iPod is just so fascinating! Thanks for the video.

I wish I was Canadian. Y'all are so good at tech.

[@artistjoh]

I had the original, and subsequent generations. The very best one of all is the 160GB classic. Brilliant device, still used.

mine's still functioning after falling THREE TIMES really built to last

[@CaptainApathetic]

You should install a Compactflash card in there That HDD WILL die, and is way more fragile with spinning disc storage

[@TheComputerNerd]

I bet it would help improve battery life too, since flash storage isn't moving parts.

[@AzaiezAbdelbakiStPakis]

Yes I have a fully functional 160 Gb iPod Classic ♥

[@V59971]

I also have 1

Cool channel. Great, You are Canadian. Thank you for saving me the trip and the money. I own an iPod classic and always thought the 1st gen would be a good idea to purchase but after this video. Even the product looks great and useful. Having two iPods is not wise, I will not waste money or time. Great MP3 player.
