Does it at least do anything well? An iPod replacement would be fun, but the best thing about an iPod was the wired headphones.
This would only work with my AirPods, which almost never work without fiddling with something either in the UI or by taking them in and out of their case.
- obmelvin 2y agoThe best thing about an iPod was most certainly not the wired headphones, it was how much music you could store compared to most preceding devices.
- xeromal 2y agoThe second best thing was the scroll wheel. Interfaces for music devices before it were so janky. I loved my iPod.
- al_borland 2y agoBeyond storage some of the other "best things" were the easy to navigate UI with the click wheel, instead of the finicky buttons or multiple repeated swipes that other devices required. Also the iTunes integration. Having a solid music app on the desktop, that made it easy to create playlists, which could that automatically sync with the iPod so everything was there without a bunch of work, was a game changer when it launched. I bought my first Mac to get iTunes, because the software on Windows at the time sucked so bad.
- wil421 2y agoI got my first MP3 player in 1999 or the early 00s. The SAN disk card had 16MB and I had to cut a song in half so I could fit 3/4 songs.
- Suppafly 2y agoThey could theoretically add a headphone port to this and a bluetooth to headphone adapter. I don't think the chips for that take up much space at all.
