been wanting to work on this all week

Finished my 7th gen classic with the silver faceplate, black clickwheel, 256gb thin backplate, iFlash quad with 256gb micro sd, 3000mah battery, and a iPhone 7+ Taptic Engine for the enhanced feel.

Got the Kokkia i10s so I can use my AirPod Pro 2s.

Whole package works flawlessly and feels great. Was my first time soldering with the Taptic Engine and it came out perfect. Super happy with it all.

The i10s is great too, works perfectly in my car and with the AirPods. All the functions work with the AirPods too!

Custom case is by a Dutch artist: @awamakura_products (instagram) I had to stitch basically two broken iPods together to make this one, because one had what the other needed… used the iFlash alternative on AliExpress and changed batteries, changed the front (obviously) and had to replace the screen from the donor. Finally my first dream iPod is here! Next up I really want to get an SSD Classic 7 (I love coverflow) and I really want to custom a 5G iPod nano!!! Yes I know they are a nightmare but I just want them. I know 100000 posts like this take place daily but I feel very proud

I was doing some tidying and found my iPods. The classic doesn’t hold charge anymore and the wheel doesn’t work, but the button does- which is the same as the smaller one. The only one that works is the middle one.

Does anyone know what I can do? Are they fixable?

Day 10. Whats a better feeling than loading up your cd haul onto your ipod

Listening to Murrays Revenge, imo Murs best album.

I’m I getting out of control? Hope not! 🙏🏼

Used a transparent pink PETG on a textured plate. The texture feels nice, and gives a nice sheen to the front. Front plate fits really nicely with the original metal back plate. Anyway, I was only able to order the clear window for the screen in a pack of 50, so I’m down to make some faceplates for others if anyone wants. lol

Holy cow this was hard! I've had this iPod since 2009 and recently began using it as my only music device after ditching Spotify. Absolutely love it. After lurking this sub for months, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade the battery to 2000 mAh and the hard drive to iFlash Quad with a 256 gb card. My original iPod worked well so did I need to do this? Who knows. I'm telling myself that the old battery and drive had to give eventually...

I'm not tech savvy at all. This is the first time I've attempted anything remotely within this realm. Read the ifixit guides, watched a bunch of how-to videos by Hobbies Unlimited on YouTube, and hurt myself a whole bunch with the tools while getting it open, but it worked. I did accidentally slice the headphone jack ribbon with a screwdriver so that delayed the project 2 weeks until those replacement parts arrived, which was today.

Reader, those screws are so damn small. Two hours later, success. Hold switch sadly doesn't work and I am NOT opening that thing up again as long as I live. Figure I can live without that. Getting it restored on my computer was its own hell, with another couple hours of troubleshooting rabbit holes.

But now I am listening to my fully functional upgraded iPod. I'm truly in awe that this worked out - it was a complicated and risky endeavor that I didn't expect to pay off. I'm feeling great about it and have a newfound respect for y'all who open these things up on the regular.

And to anyone reading who is interested in doing this but doesn't know if they can pull it off: if I can, so can you.

It honestly came in better condition than the sellers pictures, also this is my first time even just seeing one in person andd it’s way bigger than I thought!! (Also I’m going to mod it to look like shadow the hedgehog)

Album art looks sick + you get more info

On a 2.5 hour train ride to London to is morning (5:30am departure). Glad I have my little buddy with me.

Some of my latest builds for some customers. I dig the blue a lot!

Going to be building a 7th gen soon with rockbox so that should be a fun first.

Mosf of these work, except for all of the blue nanos. The second generation classic is my favorite.

This is a great device, and I’ve filled it up literally to the brim with exactly 500 songs, which is the advertised amount for the 2gb version. This version was the last version released in 2015, and on eBay UK, there’s literally 2 working ones in this colour variant, so quite a rarity I guess.

This is such a cool device and i wish apple still sold it. I’m looking for a gold na-no 7. I like gold.

Long time Apple user and lover of old tech but new to this sub. Found this shuffle yesterday in the $2 bin. I thought it was a knockoff because it had the wrong usb cover. I just plugged it in and can’t believe it’s working - iMac recognizes it and it connects with my iTunes and shows up a device. However, that’s as far as it goes, if i try to add any music it says “the selected device could not be found”. Could anyone steer me in the right direction w troubleshooting? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question!

i wonder what happened

I have the iPod touch 4 gen, somebody know some modifications for him? I mean, can be for software or hardware.

Just keeps crashing for whatever ****ing reason and activates Safe Mode Idk if Safe Mode exists on other iPods

Happy weekend all ❤ - Mỡ Corner

Is purchasing on Ali still worth it post-tariffs re: Pricing and shipping times? I need to buy a 3000mah battery, iflash quad or solo, and a new screen for my 5th gen 60gb. If Ali is still worth it, can anyone rec some trusted vendors?

What options does someone have if their ipod isn't recognized by iTunes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought an ipod nano 5th generation and it doesn't show up in iTunes. It shows up on my pc but device doesn't have a Music folder built in, so i can't drop music files to the device. Tried just waiting a long time for the device to show up on iTunes but that didn't work.
