Rather randomly, I’ve recently picked up an old #iPod classic 5th gen and am loving it so far.

(despite the upgrade to use SD card storage being way harder than it’s supposed to be on this cursed iPod 🤣)

iPods are low time preference. Streaming is just somebody else’s music. Listening to a podcast on an iPod is strangely a more engaging experience, and interruption free - you can’t just check Twitter/Nostr/get a call.

A related note, I can’t find an existing solution for “buy my whole music library” which is weird because I want to give someone money and they’re making it hard 🤷‍♂️

Also Apple Music is a bit jank with importing MP3s - it works, but 50/50 whether it matches to the streaming version of the album you already had (yay) or creates duplicates (not yay)

You can put like 500GB/1TB in these puppies and get like a week or more of battery live now with mods!

Though I am expecting pain and a sync rugpull in a few years moving to a new Mac 😂
