In this video I go down the iPod Classic rabbit hole and explain why people (including me) are still buying these things in 2025. I’ve been wanting to revive my old 7th gen for a while, but I decided to start the whole journey with a 6th gen instead. The point isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake—there’s something super satisfying about having a dedicated music player that just does music, without notifications, without apps, and without the “everything device” distractions. I also talk through the practical stuff you actually need to think about before you buy one today: the real differences between the 6th gen and 7th gen, what kind of mods I’m planning, and why battery replacement is basically non‑negotiable when you’re dealing with hardware that’s pushing 20 years old. I get into the Bluetooth angle too—because if you’re going to daily an iPod in 2025, modern wireless audio is a big part of making it usable. And yeah, I touch on RockBox: whether you should run it or skip it depends on what you want out of the iPod experience and how much tinkering you’re willing to do.
