iPod Classic 7th Gen Upgrade – New Life with SDXC, Huge Battery & Custom Case

Remember when *you* owned your music?

In this video, I unbox and walk through my second upgraded iPod Classic 7th Gen — this one with a 512GB SDXC setup (2x256GB cards) and room to grow — there are still two open slots. It’s also got a 3000mAh battery, a purple front, a rainbow back, and is surprisingly light and completely silent thanks to the flash storage.

I talk about:
- Why I brought these old iPods back to life
- The exact upgrades on this one (3000mAh battery, SDXC with 2x256GB, 2 open slots)
- My first upgraded iPod (blue front/back, 1TB via 4x256GB SDXC, same 3000mAh battery)
- How much space a lossless music collection actually needs
- Running the purple iPod through an Apple Hi-Fi and my full stereo setup

The rebuilds were done by PiratePT on Etsy — highly recommended if you’re looking to upgrade your own iPod.

This isn’t a sponsored video — just sharing a fun project that brought new life to some old gear, and helped me enjoy my music collection again without the algorithm getting in the way.

Thanks for watching!
