You're forgetting that an ipod plays mp3s which can vary in quality from 96-320kpbs. Quality of playback depends entirely where you get your files. Spotify typically uses 160kbps as default, in which case you're correct to say an ipod sounds better (although I believe spitify are upgrading soon). In contrast CDs use a bitrate of 1411kbps, therefore CD will always trump mp3. Either way I will stay firmly rooted with MP3/CD/Vinyl. I like to own my music thank you.

Haha yes I remember checking out CD’s AND DVDs from the library then ripping them to my parents’ computer, then to my iPod.

Wow. Renting CDs from the library, then ripping them is super smart lol. If I ever get an iPod that’s definitely how Ima do it.

I love that the younger generation is waking up to the limitations and expense of online streaming. I've been using my iPod classic for 20 years, mounted in a docking station. It's the best media purchase I ever made. It's so easy to record from CDs or over the internet using a laptop or PC and then transfer to the iPod. Access eclectic music that the multinationals don't have. Get your music for free! Get your audiobooks for free!

iPod is great. Not all that surprising really. It’s a bit like film photography. Slow but fun.

I’m still using my iPod Classic. Almost everyday. I love it.

Laughed so hard when the camera finally focused on the iPod while you were showing the songs list and the song shown was “Bop to the Top.” We all gotta have that HSM1 soundtrack downloaded! Also, I would absolutely love to have an iPod classic today. I loved those products so much, I was the first kid to have an iPod Mini (1st gen with the light blue finish) and I swear after that EVERYONE in my school started buying them. I guess you could say I pretty much invented the iPod mini. By the way, you’re a cutie.

Man I love your vlog style: it's so calm and chill. Also love your idea of switching from the streaming services to the offline listening. I am currently up the same thing: listening to the old albums I have missed and just listening them from the beginning to the end. I am not listening music on the iPod, even though I have one, but I have just uploaded the music in AAC 320 Kbps to my iPhone. Best of luck!

I bought a conversion for it a few years ago where I swapped out the hdd for micro ssd and increased its capacity 10x. sounds good and no skips. I still use it as it has good sound quality and transfer songs to it through jriver.

Hi, I love Ipods. I have had an Ipod nano for 13 years and to this day I still use it. I am of the idea that it is better to buy the cd, transfer it to your ipod and you have the music forever. I don't like music platforms, because they don't let you download music to your computer. Only in iTunes you can still buy music, but it will never equal the sound of a CD that is the highest quality in WAV format. So I congratulate you, you have a great acquisition. Now they announced that the ipod touch of this year 2021 is going to come out because they say that it is 20 years of the Ipod. Greetings from Mexico.

I own an ipod classic for many years and still works great, nice video

I have several iPods and still use this one on my Crosley Jukebox iPod player. I still love it.

Back in the day when Ipod was king, Apple was doing some interesting things with the audio output. You could use the bottom output to an external data amp. And have bypassed the cheap internal audio path for just direct output. Back when I started using mine I had German company dac/amp combo. Last year I started using the ipod again. I bought the dac/amp portable Thx/aa certified from Monolith. Using high end ipod male and 3.5mm headphone plug. Into the dac/amp line input port and Apple lossless music. I have the ultimate portable hifi setup with Dirac ;-).

This was a very fun and enjoyable video to watch. Picked up my first iPod classic in 2014, after buying a new automobile which, had special ports for connecting an iPod classic. Like you, I also selected the 5th generation model because, it is able to play both music and video. With my Hyundai you have to buy a special cable but, what is good is that this cable will both play and charge your iPod. All of my Apple G4, G5, and Intel computers still have a built-in DVD super-drive. So, I am able to add music to my iPod from the iTunes store, USB drives, or artist CD's.

My ipod classic 5 th generation will arrive tomorrow im so excited

revolution radio is such an amazing album, my favorite track is definitely forever now

Just ordered a classic since seems fun to mod. Also ordered my first iPod from back in middle school which was the 4th Gen Nano. Oh the nostalgia

It's funny because I've never used Spotify nor do I have any desire to. I've always used my 7th gen iPod that I've had since 2009.

I have that model. I got it as a Christmas present from my brother in 2006. It was cool device though aside from 2009 and 2020, I didn't use it much.

Now that I have found the best earbuds for my 5g I can enjoy this video Now you’re making me want to rent some cds from the library

I have NEVER stopped using mine. Sure I have a smart phone. But sooooo much music (CD collection ripped to my Ipod) that would take up so much storage space. Much rather keep phone space freed up for pics and videos. Plus, no interruption from a text or call. And it sounds better on the Ipod. It's well worth bringing one extra (small) gadget along on the go. Use mine daily since getting it. Back when they were new. Not big on streaming music either. If internet goes down etc..Still got my whole library ready, no prob.

That looks so nice

How are you now? Please make a video about the thyroid cancer follow up.

If you are still into it, I’d hunt down an Apple Hi-Fi. I have one from when they first came out and it sounds amazing. Since my iPod classic has a broken headphone Jack it sits on the Hi-Fi most of the time. But I hunk I’m going to repair it and take it on the go again.

I picked up a white 5th gen a couple years ago and always used it docked and decided to use it portably yesterday and discovered the headphone Jack only plays on one side 😢 now I’m on the hunt for a replacement. Seems like prices have gone up on these. Sucks.

Do you remember how to import photos from the ipod to PC? I found my old one from high-school

I need some help with mine. I have decided to use it again, but when connected to my Mac to organise and transfer stuff, I do not see anything on the computer that resembles how the screen is organised on the i-Pod. I must be doing something stupid. I dislike the whole i-tunes interface experience since it is unintuitive and thought this might be easier. Again this is probably my ineptitude. Any help welcome. Thanks.

Awesome video about your iPod . For me I need over the air radio station to listen to my music on the go. That the reason why I got the I pod nano 6 generation the small apple device that has a fm radio tuner. What I know that is there are only two apple I pod has fm tuner the one I used and the 7 generation I pod.

thank you man!

“Too loud” solution, use better headphones that have higher impedance. Headphones that are driven at 90-100 are supposedly good for iPod gen 5. My $300 bose are only about 60 ohms but thats I bought them for the Active Noise Canceling, not sound quality. Still better than Apple Ear Pods that are only 42 ohms. Many $50 headsets or over ears should be able to take the power being pumped out of the 5th gen easy. As long as you are only looking for sound quality, cheap and big should do ya just fine.

What software are you using? I've tried seven or eight different software managers. NOTHING works!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU MAKE A TUTORIAL ON HOW YOU PUT THE MUSIC ON THE IPOD, I CANT FIND ANYWAY TO DO IT WITH MINE ON THE NEW MACS WITH NO ITUNES. thank you

does apple music work on this??

I got the same iPod with lots of files when I connect it to my MacBook Pro they show but when I disconnected they don’t show in my iPod any one got a solution to be able to play this songs that are in the memory of the iPod but not showing once disconnected

But how do you put music on these nowadays??

How do I put songs into this device.

I realize this is a old video, but if you replaced the spinning hard drive with a iflash solo mod, your battery life would triple. Also it is a ton lighter weight. They also make Bluetooth 30pin adapters that work well with air pods. And they are not as loud so that would solve that issue you had with the volume being to loud on the lowest setting. Plus the iflash solo speeds up the iPod some as well as sync times a little. And the 5 gen can be increased to a terabyte of storage. Even more.

Do you know a reliable source that sells these? I really want to get one because my mom used to have one when I was a kid, and now that I'm in college I want to get one for everyday listening lol.
