Hello everyone! Today we are looking back at the Apple iPod. But all the different models like the iPod classic, nano, touch and shuffle. How is it using them today? We will look at their innovative features. For example the nano 6 that could be used as a smartwatch, or the nano 7 with bluetooth so it works with airpods. Another interesting one is the Shuffle 3 third generation without any controls.

The iPod Classic is one of the best devices that Apple ever released. In this video, we are going to get a peek into what it is like to make this device from 2005 relevant going into 2025.

In the next video, we will dive deeper into the build process, and see what it takes to install a custom firmware on the device, that being RockBox.

A strange thing is happening: people are buying iPods again. Not just for nostalgia, but for something deeper. In a world of algorithmic recommendations, endless notifications, and disposable tech, the iPod offers an escape — an intentional way to listen to music. In this video, I explore why these 20-year-old MP3 players are making a comeback. From digital minimalism and escaping smartphone fatigue to the joy of collecting physical media and modding old tech, the iPod represents something we’ve lost in our relationship with music.

Join me as I dive into iPod modding, algorithmic anxiety, and the cultural shifts that have led people back to iPods in 2025. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia or looking for a better way to experience music (or you just got this recommended next to a Dankpods video), this journey is for you.

Do you still use an iPod, or are you thinking of getting one? Drop a comment below! And if you enjoyed this video, consider sharing it with a friend.

???? IPOD MODS FEATURED ????
iPod 5.5 Generation (30 GB)
Upgraded with iFlash quad 256GB SSD
Custom transparent case
2000 mAh battery

???? ALL MUSIC USED WITH PERMISSION ????

HUSSALONIA: https://hussalonia.bandcamp.com/
SONGS: The Nearest Exit, Record Bins, Dig Up Your Records
WHY THEY’RE GREAT: I’ve listened to Hussalonia for years, ever since I heard a song of theirs on Welcome to Night Vale. Every album is different and you never know what to expect!

JOEL HARKIN: https://joelharkin.bandcamp.com/
SONGS: Lake Irene
WHY THEY’RE GREAT: A self-described “miserable Irish socialist” and crafter of sad-boy alt folk tunes; Joel is one of the first people I met when I moved to Ireland and it’s been a delight to follow his musical development.

DUNDERPATRULLEN: https://dunderpatrullen.bandcamp.com/
SONGS: Kretskortsaromer, Hightech Girlfriend
WHY THEY’RE GREAT: These fellow Swedes have been dropping chiptune electro bangers for decades. They offered me the chance to make a music video for them in 2009 but I was over-committed at the time and foolishly turned them down, a fact that still haunts me.

KEVIN MACLEOD: https://incompetech.com/
SONGS: Cloud Dancer, RetroFuture Clean, Space Jazz, Chill Wave, Tiki Bar Mixer, Southern Gothic
WHY THEY’RE GREAT: If you’ve ever watched a video on the internet, you’ve heard Kevin MacLeod’s music. Probably the most prolific producer of royalty-free music and the unofficial soundtrack of the internet. Thank you for all that you do, Kev, we literally couldn’t do this without you.

The iPod Classic was a staple of the 2000's and is still highly sought out today amongst tech enthusiasts and audiophiles. But is it worth refurbishing and modifying one?

After a long time another restoration video. This time I finally landed an iPod classic for a low price. The front panel cracked and battery weak. I decided to go with this transparent green panel and it turned out really nice.

As in almost every video I made - it is my first time doing this. I learn as I go and you can see me watching other tutorials as I work. I do this as a proof that every one with a little bit of knowledge can do it. And a lot more!

I decided not to add any music this time, as I found it really calming editing this in silence. Also that you can choose your own music to pump while watching this video to match your taste!

Of course most people just use their smartphone for listening to music. But some want a more dedicated, distraction-free device -- and Apple produced a number of iPod models over the years that fit the bill nicely. Let's take a look at the iPod family and talk about which ones are great even today, and which should be avoided.

I was alerted of this clip on Reddit via u/ale12386's post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DankPods/comments/upefbg/wade_on_tv_in_australia_talking_about_ipods/
The original Clip on 9 News' website was geoblocked as several commenters pointed out so I used my true blue Aussie priveledge to right this wrong (9 News please no takedown thx).

Original 9 News Clip: https://amp.nine.com.au/article/4844cd2a-9282-4058-a0e1-ccd6bae048e0

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to inspect and find a raw player to grab a full res copy from so I had to do a dirty screen recording. The original footage seems to be 576i@30fps but I cant be sure so I just did 1080p@60 to preserve as many of wades luscious beard hairs as possible.

The original footage seems to be 576i@30fps but I cant be sure so I just did 1080p@60 to preserve as many of wades luscious beard hairs as possible.<br /> <br /> If Required - The Dank Man himself: https://www.youtube.com/c/DankPods<br /> <br /> Frank Stinks.</p>]]> https://ipodcafe.com/dankpods-on-a-current-affair-australia-write-off-the-ipod-at-your-peril-9-news-australia-clip_acdbf0a68.html iPod Mods | Upgrading Your Device with Style and Functionality https://ipodcafe.com/ipod-mods-upgrading-your-device-with-style-and-functionality_9146e5060.html

[UPD: Moonlit Market has reached out to me in response to this video and assured that the battery can easily be replaced while preserving the wireless charging functionality - you just need to chop off the battery wires of the existing one and plug in the new battery in the A port.
As this information was not readily available on the website or instructions at the time of the review, I did not include it in the review when making it.]

More than 20 years after its release, the iPod Classic is still alive.

In this video, I revisit my upgraded iPod Classic from the Classic Connect 1 mod, and rebuild it with the new Classic Connect 2 kit from Moonlit Market.

This time around, next to the Blueetooth and USB-C for your iPod, it promises wireless charging, haptic feedback, and a new versions of backplate colors (I got a translucent one), but also makes some controversial design choices that might surprise you :)

The iPod Classic was as Apple as Apple ever got. When they discontinued the iPod Classic in favor of the iPod Touch and the iPhone we lost something. And maybe now we're starting to see the effects of that loss.
