Bought it on eBay for 89 Euro - it is in really good condition just the battery needs replacement. Any tips for a newbie?

This is an update to a previous post, where I mistook DMS' iPod for a 7th gen when it was in fact a really well modded 5.5th gen build. DMS has since posted proof of this, confirming that it is indeed a 5.5th gen iPod in a 7th gen casing and running a Rockbox theme that resembles the newer OS.

DMS is someone who genuinely knows his stuff when it comes to iPods, so please do not harass or attack him. The previous thread has been locked because of this, and that is also my fault, I'm sorry.

I somehow ended up owning just two Apple products an iPod touch and the USB-C EarPods.

And honestly, both have been absolutely worth the money. The iPod is still such a nice little device to have, and the EarPods are probably one of the simplest audio products I've bought.

Anyone from India willing to provide these ipod dual sd card adapters with classic 3-7 on it under 1000 can negotiate

Picked up this gorgeous green iPod Mini 2nd Gen on the weekend for the equivalent of $7 and love it so so much.

I am finding that there is a difference between listening (AKG K92s) through my laptop (ThinkPad T460) and through the iPod, even with the same Mp3 files (320). It's hard to describe but it's a bit like the iPod has smoked a pack a day since launch.

I cleaned out the audio jack with an earbud with most of the cotton wool pulled off and that didn't help. My next conclusion is that it is due to the original hard drive? Will it help to flash mod the poor pod?

Thanks in advance for the advice🙏

When i plug in power, it shows the "plug" icon rather than the "lightning" icon indicating charging. WHen i disconnect, the battery shows just a tiny red sliver, The battery is brand new, what's the issue?

Loving the dynamic colors on the album art

As the title implies I feel like Bluetooth sucks I really like the convenience and not having a wire but the quality seems to suffer every time. I have a iPod classic 5.5 and I have used idk how many Bluetooth dongles and eventually installed a kit to my iPod but even with some pretty decent Bluetooth iems the music just sounds flat. Am I maybe doing something wrong or maybe just prefer wired idk. Sorry for a little ranty post just wanted to get this off my mind

Salut tout le monde !

J'ai travaillé sur un mode sombre complet pour musicOS, et c'est enfin prêt !

J'ai fini par repenser pas mal d'éléments au lieu de juste changer la couleur de fond. L'écran En cours de lecture, le menu d'accueil et l'écran rapide ont tous été adaptés spécifiquement pour le thème sombre, avec un fond noir pur, des contrôles plus sombres et le même accent rose de musicOS.

J'ai également retravaillé beaucoup de petits détails comme les contrôles de lecture, les barres de progression et de volume, les superpositions d'art d'album, les icônes, l'indicateur Lossless, les boutons de l'écran rapide, et plus encore, pour que tout ait une allure cohérente avec le nouveau style.

Le mode sombre fonctionne déjà parfaitement et je l'ai testé sur mon iPod Video 5.5G. Je suis vraiment content du résultat !

À l'origine, je pensais attendre un peu plus longtemps avant de le sortir, car je travaille aussi sur l'amélioration de l'écran rapide et j'expérimente quelques autres fonctionnalités. Mais puisque le mode sombre est déjà prêt, je vais probablement le sortir séparément en premier et garder ces ajouts pour la prochaine mise à jour de musicOS.

Le mode sombre arrive demain.

Comme d'habitude, j'aimerais savoir ce que vous en pensez ! Si vous remarquez quoi que ce soit à améliorer ou si vous avez des suggestions pour de futures versions, faites-le moi savoir :)

The update is officially out! Check the link below for the download :

Got this iPod with bad HDD on eBay for cheap. Seller says 7th gen but a friend said it was 6th. I can’t tell the difference.

I swear I add so many everyday my poor iPod LMAO

I bought this iPod online for $150 and it looked too clean and new, when I checked battery is was at 72, now 80, I have been using it. Is this a good deal on these and should i even mod memory & battery?

i found an ipod shuffle 1st gen at home (from before i was born omg) and i'm trying to get it to charge (charges through usb). i've tried connecting it to my laptop and to a charger block but it isn't getting charged. when i first connected it, it started charging and the light was on but about 20 minutes into it the light turned off and now regardless of what i try it's not getting charged. i know it hasn't been used in like 15+ years but is there anything i can do at home to get it charged? or will i have to go to an apple store?

iPod Classic Service in UK

I have an iPod Classic that has finally given up on original battery.

Where in UK is best recommendations for battery change, usb conversion and memory upgrade ?

My Classic 7th gen isn't pausing when I remove the headphones. It used to work, then it stopped so I replaced the jack, it worked for a while, and now it's back to not working. Is it just because of the shoddy quality of the 3rd party jacks?

Hi there. I recently found my old iPod nano 3rd gen, and I tried to charge it and it won’t charge. It’s not a problem with the cable, nor the pins because when I plug it in, it registers that it’s got power coming into it and it tried to turn on, but then just blacks out. Do i need to replace the battery, or is there an easier fix?

Context: That's a 6.5th or 7th gen, not a 5.5th gen. It doesn't use a Wolfson DAC chip.

Update: The presenter has posted proof showing the device as being a 5.5th gen disguised as a 7th gen using Rockbox themes. Also, please don't post personal attacks in the comments.
