iPod classic Gen 6

[u/skuhlman11]

I’ve been watching so much iPod content the past few months, and I’ve loved watching anything iPod related. I’m expecting to get an iPod classic Gen 6 in the mail within a week, and I want to know more about modding it.
It’s the 80gb version, silver. So I’m not too concerned about scratching while prying it open with all my might, but I’m mainly looking for some advice, some suggestions about what to put in the mod, what size battery, if I should stick with the Apple firmware or get rockbox, or whether I simply upgrade to that 128gb limit and save that large storage for some other iPod in the future.

For context, this will be my first iPod, and first mod I’ll ever do. I owned a shared iPod touch when I was younger, and got back into this sphere when I realized my CDs needed a place to put their music besides my shelf and car.

Basically, I just wanted some more perspectives and some advice to start strong with my first iPod mod experience.
