I would pay a decent amount of money for this.

Okay I’m jealous.
So cool! Thanks for sharing
I still got Planet of the apes on mine. They wanted people to know it can run mp4's on that little screen.
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.

Can you put music on it without iTunes?
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.

Typical Apple, they probably won't even tell you that you need a 2007 MacBook with a 12 second battery life to make this work. That's how they get you.
It looks like funar2000 supported it at least at some point.

You beauty! How did you install 30 days battery? Where did you get it from ?
Probably just normal battery. Thing was massive and heavy
Unless you have the screen on constantly, the device doesn't use much power other than sending a signal to headphones
there's also a ton of extra space once you remove the hdd, it could be mostly battery
Nice! I keep meaning to order a clear shell for my 5.5 Gen, but have done a battery and flash swap on it. My 4th Gen and my 2nd Gen mini are also flashed and they've been amazing too.
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?
💀
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.
Let me tell you son. Back in the day, headphones used to have a wire
I thought it was an bt transmitter before I saw the cable in the bottom of the shot. A lot smaller then the fm transmitter I have.
I thought it was copper. 🤔
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.
For real I wish there was a way to get my phone to play only music through headphones or speaker. Any time I get a notification I want it only through my phone's speaker and not what I'm listening to music to.
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.
Android actually automatically rejects spam calls if you tell it to. They've had it for over half a decade now.
I think they mean no setting to continue playing music. Most people want to leave the phone active, no matter how annoying, in case they get something important.
Make a do not disturb option that blocks calls from numbers you don't know. Everyone you care about can still reach you easily.
Everyone that makes it through the spam filter goes straight to voicemail unless they’re a contact. That is way.
And then I never check the messages because anyone important will just text me.
Use a LOD cable and an external amp. No DAC since the iPod classic has/had a good one internally (for then time at least)
Pro tip: you can replace the clicker with an iPhone taptic engine, I forgot which one you should use but a quick Google should tell you.
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.
