And the battery didn’t bulge a few hours after a full charge?
Doubt it.
And the battery is an absolute nightmare to replace on any of the Nanos…
Recently resurrected a nano; it’s 20 years old. Works fine, but I haven’t done the music transfer yet.
My full size iPod though won’t boot. Just clicks and reboots constantly. I think the hard drive is toast.
Replace it with flash, bonus battery life too.
I still use my iPod mini plugged into a music centre of the same vintage. I don’t update it though, its lovely having my 2004-5 music capsule.
Surprise surprise
I miss my Zune. Best music player ever.
Weirdly I picked 2 up yesterday. 1st gen I think battery isn’t to bad, I’d almost forgotten the swish around the wheel.
Also go a gen5 but the battery was shagged! Plugged it in and it went pop.
Rockbox supports modern codecs including Opus, so you can fit nearly 4 days of decent quality music on a 4GB iPod.
Apple products are great. The Apple ecosystem, not so much. If you’re into FOSS computing and FOSS media formats, you’re not going to have a good time.

If anyone like getting their hands dirty with tinkering, then you can get inspiration from Zac’s YouTube video about modernising an iPod.
Still don’t understand why people don’t just use your “phone”?
Exactly. How are we supposed to track him?
Track whom?
IDK why you feel that way. But I don’t know you inside and out, like Google or Apple does.
Oh, they don’t. And even if they did, carrying a second device wouldn’t stop them.
