I modded an iPod Classic with USB-C, Bluetooth, wireless charging,
flash storage, and open-source firmware — for about $200. Here's how
it actually went.

This is a Classic Connect 2 build using the Moonlit Market kit. The
build covers hardware installation, faceplate swap, the Rockbox
firmware install, and everything that went wrong along the way —
including the 128GB storage limit on the 6th gen and a modder named
Olsro who figured out how to bypass it.

If you want to see Part 2 (the full storage unlock mod), drop a

It's been nearly a year since my girlfriend gave me her old iPod Classic to play around with, and at that time I really didn't know how much this little device would change how I consume/relate to my media. Let me know what you think of this video in the comments!

Things that we mentioned in this video:
iPod-Classic 120gb Silver 7th : B0B6WPYLXF

I decided that the time came for a new iPod because I've been running low on space on my 64GB iPod Touch 4th Gen. This iPod Classic was the perfect solution, especially at the open box price on eBay.

https://amzn.to/3zFfSOa Apple iPod Touch (32GB) - Blue (Latest Model) Perfect for those who LOVE music but don’t want to fill up all their storage on their phones. I needed something that allowed me to listen to MY music when WiFi wasn’t available and I have an expansive music collection. Also perfect for saving some podcasts for a flight if you don’t want to pay for in flight WiFi. Love the speed and features. Those who are bitter that it does more than the original iPods are never going to be happy with anything. Get the iPod, listen to music, be happy it’s not 1785.

Is it the best mp3 music player ? In this video I unbox apple ipod classic 7th generation 160gb .

I've been working on this iPod video off and on for about 6 months.

This is a very different cinematic/retro style video than i usually do, i had a lot of fun learning how to make this kind of a video, and really hope you enjoyed!

From the original click-wheel classics to the colorful Nanos and Shuffles, these devices changed how the world listened to music. In this video, I’ll walk you through every model I own, share some of my favorite "retro tech" memories, and talk about why I’m still collecting these iconic Apple devices in 2026.

Whether you’re a fellow collector or just miss the satisfying sound of a physical scroll wheel, I hope you enjoy this deep dive into my personal music history.
