Guys, I’ve imported a handful of music to my Music app on my Mac (running Tahoe 26.7.2), each one with its correct metadata and cover art.
However, after syncing all my music through Finder, every single one shows the same cover art (Michael Jackson’s Bad) despite the fact the files have their corresponding cover arts.
How can I fix this?

With some help from a friend, I finally finished building my custom iPod mini! I removed the original 30-pin port and replaced it with USB-C, added an iPhone 7 Taptic Engine, 256GB of flash storage, and a 700mAh 573040 battery. I love how it looks like a little sibling to my other modded iPod classic!

The left button on the modified click wheel is a bit less responsive, and I accidentally damaged the LCD during assembly, so I had to use a spare. I also had to remove the rubber padding around the LCD bezel, which makes me a little worried about its shock resistance.

Still, almlst everything works pretty well! It’s not quite 100% perfect, but I’d say it turned out about 90% the way I wanted. I’m really happy with the result!

Never too late

I’ve modded IPod 5 recently and it’s been amazing. But the sound of Sony Walkman is so much better and clearer. I don’t know if I should keep both because it seems excessive. Have you found that the IPod doesn’t sound as good some of other DAC? Do you still prefer IPod?

+ added some new stickers before putting it on 🙂‍↕️

feels waay less fragile now, which is great because this case feels impossible to take off lmfao

Hi everyone! Since buying, selling, and trading aren’t allowed here, I created r/iPodDeals as a dedicated place for iPod listings and trades.

The subreddit is ready to go, so feel free to post your iPods there. I’m also looking for one or two moderators to help out when life gets busy. If you’re interested, send me a DM!

now it plays Kraftwerk’s “Pocket Calculator” on the piezo buzzer

Alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar un case para mi iPod?

7th gen iPod 120GB with master and dynamic mh40s. I have been daily driving this in highschool for the past 4 years and it has served me well.

Pardon my ignorance but can I add new songs to this old iPod for my daughter? I plugged it into the computer but I wasn’t able to manually load songs on to it. She is unimpressed with my music taste 🤷‍♀️

Since when did the 4G nano have a square screen?!

EDIT: you cant swipe by the way, the dots at the bottom are a remnant of fb marketplace!!

My partner gave me their old iPod Nano 3 after finding it in storage. 1615 songs on it. The battery is shot, so I'm getting that replaced, but I'm loving it. I had the first Gen shuffle and Touch 3 at one point. Went thrifting to find my ​childhood iHome and found the same model at my second thrift store stop. Lucky lucky! ​

i have a ipod 5.5 gen, and sometimes the songs wont load or take several attempts in order for them to play. For example, with this song, it took 3 tries for it to play. I only play ALACS from this ipod and was wondering if it was the format of the songs or just my drive dying lol

screens used to be 20 to 30 dollars and now they’re bare minimum 50 from aliexpress? what kind of price gouging is going on. are we in hell

Listen I'm pretty familiar with iPod modding and all this. Recently upgraded my iPod bigger battery Iflash solo. The process to get my music to work properly has been insane. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or generally everyone has this hard of time. My problems are metadata not matching and splitting albums into different ones. Biggest one I feel is audio levels are all over the place and also songs on playlist just skipping but will play fine on its own. Someone please help!

So I got the iPod easter egg from Apple Music working locally with my own music.
Thank you Claude.

idk how many songs it can have saved to it at once, but it’s been working pretty well for me.

also added support for atmos mixes since i had stuff saved that just didn’t work.

to add music: go to settings > import > add songs
it saves everything locally and it can be saved as a PWA to work offline.

please lmk if there are any bugs or issues!
enjoy!

I’ve tried looking everywhere and i can’t find any good ipod nano 4th gen cases :( especially in pink .. does anybody know where i could find some?

So i got this dual microsd card hdd from aliexpress for my classic 5.5 gen and i keep getting the ipod with the sad face and the apple support url screen. I‘m not sure if i‘m putting it in the wrong way? I have been putting it in with the sd cards facing the logic board and thats when i get the apple support screen. Im not sure if i should flip the hdd because i dont want to possibly break the ribbon cable.

I also know the ribbon cable is fine because i put the original apple harddrive back in and it works, but i can‘t use the old one anymore because it won‘t fit in with the new battery. Anyone know how to fix this?

After scouring the internet for months and months, always finding listings after they had sold, or sold while I was still planning on buying (did not want to pay obscene reseller prices). I finally found a mint condition, 7th Gen 160gb from my local pawnshop with the original packaging: box, unopened dock converter even the apple pamphlet, device plastic wrapping. The iPod only has smudges and no visible scratching on the mirror finish. The best way is I underpaid for this gem😭

I figured out the problem which is a weak port so I move it to my laptop USB but I couldn't help but to laugh at this

Hi guys!! I need a little help as I'm having trouble finding anything online matching my description.

My iPod Touch (my first time turning it on, i bought it secondhand and its been stored away for some time) has this odd brown blotch. It doesn't change upon pressing at all. concerningly, the iPod seems to only heat up in that corner/general area when charging. I've decided to not charge it any longer for now just to get some opinions first. Practically died the moment I removed it from the charger. Any advice or input would be very helpful, thanks :)

I bought this battery as well as the iFlash. This battery is no longer holding a charge so I wanted to try a different website and battery. I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with either of these batteries and setup. I'm worried that it might not fit in the housing. I'm considering either one of these batteries, Option 1 [Option 2]

My iPod is a 5th gen A1136 30 gb with the thin back, everything else on the iPod is unaltered. I would really appreciate any tips or suggestions.
