Is that a headphone jack!?

I like headphone jacks.

This needs an interrobang‽

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

You can tell whether I'm posting from my phone or my desktop by whether I use a or a ?!.

(This one was from my desktop despite the interrobang, but that's because I could easily copy-paste yours.)

I'm here with a usb c to 1/8" jack like a moron! The EU pushed replaceable batteries, maybe we need a headphone jack bill haha.

Paradoxically, all cheap devices come with one, and even with an FM radio, so cheap devices actually have more stuff than high end smartphone. Also please give me an FM radio FFS, it is one of the most usueful services during emergencies and other situation, also I like listening radio thanks

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Check out the company Nothing. They make products like the Nothing Phone with transparent designs

I'm curious about the 30 day battery

[–] [email protected] 46 points 8 months ago (7 children)

Could just be the regular battery not having to supply power to an energy sucking spinning disk.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago

Probably the same original form factor but a new lithium ion

I used a modern 3000mA lithium ion battery which provides about 60 hours of music playback. That’s about 2 hours per day which is much more than I use!

[–] [email protected] 38 points 8 months ago (2 children)

60 hours is two and a half days.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Well yes, but most people aren’t listening to music 24/7

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

battery life is always measured in terms of continuous playback, not user defined usage

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That’s not how battery life on these sort of devices is usually reported.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

imadethis new way of reporting battery life!

They sell 3000mah replacement batteries vs the original 850mah. I think some solid state drives can save power, but others can use more.

Anyway, this is the coolest shit I have ever seen today, and maybe the best one here on Lemmy!

Dude that thing is sick. I use my phone for music, and it's okay except for the dozen spam calls I get every day interrupting it. And there's no setting for that, of course.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Many phones have "Do not disturb"-mode, or even airplane mode.

You can also go into the settings and disconnect from your mobile provider if you really want peace and quiet.

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

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.

Shoulda used clear purple for that real nostalga hit.

But awesome work

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Do you have a guide or a part list or anything? I still have my iPod I bought new in 2006 but it hasn't seen use in many years for a slew of issues, the main one being the headphone jack itself failing, but I'd love to refresh it like this.

That's dope!

Always cool to see ‘retro’ tech brought back, especially with major overhauls. Kinda wish Apple still did dedicated ‘dumb’ MP3 players, if I’m being honest.

Cool.

Love personal playlists. I use an old phone with SD card to use Bluetooth into my home theater system.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

I still got Planet of the apes on mine. They wanted people to know it can run mp4's on that little screen.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Well that's awesome and I think I've found a new favorite sub.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Dude thats so cool! Thanks for sharing!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

damn!

if you don't mind me asking:
how did you create the transparent casing? It looks really great and I'm not sure if it was 3D printed or some other way

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Does it still count as “imadeit” if I made it using a hodge podge of other people’s parts? Haha, I ordered the custom shell from eBay ☺️ but it feels very high quality (not 3D printed)

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (2 children)

As a 3d printer enthusiast, I object to you implying that 3d printed parts aren't high quality, while acknowledging that you're very correct.

What's that little black thing that kinda looks like a tiny antenna in the top right corner, right next to the battery indicator/percentage?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Let me tell you son. Back in the day, headphones used to have a wire

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

I know the angle is a bit weird, but that is a wired headphone/earbud cable. The cable just has a 90 degree bend at the end.

Is this a kit or custom? Did you 3d print that case?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

There's a bunch of places selling replacement iPod shells, I think there's probably just one factory that makes them but the iPod mod scene is actually pretty extensive all things considered.

[–] Grass 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not aware of any 3d print methods or materials that can have that level of transparency, that has to be injection molded.

Rockbox does support FLAC, with iPodLinux I'm not so sure (their ancient http site FAQ promises development via MPD, but that's not a given to have actually happened).

I would like to buy an ipod and mod it but it would cost too much.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

One day I will upgrade my Zune 2nd gen into a modern device, like this. I can only hope the software keeps working for syncing, at least until someone writes a custom OS for it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Can you put music on it without iTunes?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Yes. I still use my classic regularly. 20 000+ songs on it without ever being connected to itunes. Rhythmbox for linux works great when I want to switch things up. Winamp did the job back when I was still using windows. Maybe you were forced to use itunes briefly back when the ipod was first released, but it didn't take long for other programmers to figure out how to make their software compatible.

Veronica Explains just posted a whole video of how to do this.
