Streaming is Dead. Use an iPod Instead.

What It’s Like Using an iPod in 2025?

It was November 2005, and the iPod Mini changed how we listened to music. It's the Nano's predecessor, and a smaller, more compact version of the Classic iPod.

In 2025, I found myself holding one for the very first time. It definitely brought back memories I didn’t even know I missed.

I never owned this model back in the 2000s, but I did have an iPod Nano and eventually got my hands on an iPod Touch that carried me through high school and beyond. They were my companions for studying, commuting, discovering new bands, and even loading up music the old way.

Fast forward to today, I picked up this iPod Mini from 2005 — and to my surprise, it still makes a lot of sense to use one in 2025.

This video is about what it’s like to return to the iPod era, why I decided to get one, and why it might still be worth your time now.

Would you still use an iPod today? Let me know in the comments.
