Yeah but is it still locked to iTunes? Cause fuck that noise if it is.
Otherwise... I'll take 3
Edit: looks like it is... damn
It's a quick Google search for an alternative software that is pretty user-friendly and independent of Apple.
Also I suggest replacing the Hard drive with a card that lets you put in SD cards.
Back in the day, I used to rock iPod Linux. Looks like it's still about http://www.ipodlinux.org/
There was also rockbox that let you play flac on iPod. https://www.rockbox.org/
Or less exteme, I'm sure that foobar2000 had plugins for managing your iPod.
I ‘member putting a movie on a tiny little Nano. And Doom. ~~Girls~~ nerds loved it. Simpler times.
Both made possible by Linux IIRC!
Rockbox is the GOAT
it let's you use the iPod like a USB drive where you can play anything that you put on there. it can also play ogg vorbis or vorbis or a lot of at her formats.
I got my 2 Gen Nano in 2008 and ditched iTunes after day one, EphPod worked just fine.
If you like this aesthetic, perhaps check out the Tangara on Crowd Supply. https://www.crowdsupply.com/cool-tech-zone/tangara
It's fully open-source, too, so anyone can contribute to making improvements and a company can never discontinue it.
Tell that to Yuzu.
