Comment on I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun

iPods are still great. You can even replace their hard drives with modern flash storage and they work. It’s actually really impressive, i built a 256GB iPod Mini and iTunes has no problem with it.

I completely forgot about that! I used foobar2000 a lot back in the day, but never managed how to manage my iPod through it, it was just my main music player.
Is there a market for modified iPods? I’d love to get one already modified with the flash storage you mentioned
