I wanna know how you got 16k songs on a second gen nano

Easy! Encode your songs as crispy 8 Kbps MP3 files

Iflash.xyz have everything you need for iPod classics and iPod minis, the mini is just my fav, I had one when I was a kid and now I have another (well, 3) now I'm in my 30s

Now this is cool, thank you for sharing

You can upgrade them with flash storage pretty easily.

that's a mini, they use tiny microdrives inside, they're tiny HDDs in the form factor of a compactflash card, you can very easily replace them with a compactflash to SD adapter and put a shit ton of storage in them

eBay. Lots of people putting high stage flash drives in old iPod models. 128gb and up

just do it yourself, it's super easy, only takes a cheap adapter you can get on ebay or from iflash and like 15 minutes of time, i used this guide to put a spare 32gb in a mini i bought and it was reaaaaally easy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GY761U4vik

I remember the first time I saw an iPod. I really did think technology was over.

I preferred my Creative Zen Touch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Loved my Zen Micro so much. Was a sad day when it finally died, but then I got a Zune, which was incredibly excellent.

I miss the brick game and music quiz game

anyone else remember Vortex?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Music quiz with 16k songs is a real test.

I remember downloading this song (it was a bonus track on certain versions of the album) and it was called "Expert Knowledge" and I always thought that was a better title.

I still have my Sansa Clip+. I should go see if it still works. I remember I rooted that thing too lol.
