why I switched to an iPod in 2026 (I'm not going back)

talking about why I love using an iPod classic in 2026 and how / why I switched to one. I'll probably keep using a DAP from now on and owning my music, even if it doesn't end up being an iPod forever. I definitely recommend switching if you're fed up with streaming services and things distracting you from your music!

huge thank you again to the kind viewer who gifted me their iPod. it is definitely being put to good use :)

also i realized i didn't mention watching movies on the iPod, but i feel like it's kinda the same as trying to playing games on it.
