Still love and use my 5th generation iPod

A bunch of eBay sellers sell them too, with new batteries and SSDs.

Oh that's cool, loved the sound of Wolfson DACs from that era. IIRC @Kunlun runs a Wolfson iPod still?

The ad on that page was appropriate: "Millions of Americans have Cognitive Decline and Don't Know It." I have nothing against old iPods, except that you need to use a portable amp with it for most IEMs nowadays. I have a dead 5.5 in a closet, but I wouldn't put a new battery in it and charge 350 bucks for it.

Good deal imo, I already got my 6th and 7th. SD card mods destroy the performance imo.

iPod shuffle was my goto for the gym for many years. Solid, tiny,
and decent sound

I suggest https://eoe.works if you want to buy a refurb iPod. Battery upgrades and SD card conversions available.

I refurbed a 1st gen 5GB scroll wheel (and attendant IEEE 1394 charger, original packaging, and USB adapter; iTunes still supports it!). Ping me if you're feeling nostalgic.
