Basically the price of an iPod back in the day ($250). Not worth it, in my opinion. If you’re gonna go old school, go old school!

Thanks for the great video an explanation! I am thinking to trying it out for my MacBook M3. Cheers!

Hi, are you using OEM software or Rockbox?

Perfect review

Question: when applying the thermal tape. Do you peel both sides of the tape and then close the lid so pure thermal paste makes contact on all sides?

I want to ask is suport dual mode, rockbox and original os mine 6.5gen have the rockbox before buying

iPod nano 4g left chat

it costs fuckin 139 euro fucking 24h of work wtf

In my 32 years of living this is the first time I've seen Morphine on someone elses device.

Whats with the camera moving while you're talking lol

linux mint supremacy

Currently installing mint on 2011 . Its been hours on black screen boot up

I am currently trying to install linux mint mate on my mid 2011 mbair. Whenever i am past the point of selecting the keyboard it tells me that i need more than 8gb storage to install linux. My installation medium is 8gb. Harddisk is 120gb. But its not able to find the built in SSD. Also cannot change any settings in GNU grub at startup. Any suggestions how to make progress from here? Normally this is a 5 min job but apparently not with this mb air. In some forums i have seen that turning off secure boot and EHCI helps. But as said. Cant change anything

Clementine Music Player works really well.

It's very useful video, thank you

I messed up and did not install the bootloader so now it always boots to RockBox. Any way of factory resetting this?

I cant get out of rockbox i need help

I did a similar work albeit with an even older late 2009 macbook. I had however to refurbish it with some new hardware such as SSD, increased RAM (8GB), new battery and even new speaker. I tried to sideload Big Sur but performances were very bad. In the end I've setttled on Xubuntu and I'm very satiSfied with the result. Planning to donate the laptop to an organization working in as third world country to make some people happy

Thank you for such a comprehensive overview! I've been looking for a way to get rid of the separate webcam I have to keep for business calls while WFH. I have a few questions: do you have experience using the iPhone continuity mic? Is it of acceptable quality? Also, is there a lot of difference between using wireless versus wired connection?

It’s too expensive.

You should really be charging and syncing an ipod with fire wire if possible as these are far faster than usb 2.0 and provide more power to the ipod Only isssue is it's a only on older macs

Thanks, good review 👏🏻

Did you try to lower the volume in the camera settings?

Thanks for the video. I just did this process with another vendor product that all are familiar with, and your instructions are right on and I got some really great Black Magic times. (2700+/2770+) Read/Writ ranges. I am quite happy and spent (Enclosure 99.00 + 990Pro 1TB 80 or 90.00) $190.00 plus and running on my MacBook Air M3 15". Thanks.

i tried downloading and now my ipod won’t turn on

Thanks man!

Is there a way to install RockBox on my old iPod classic using a Mac computer? I'm asking because I have a Mac mini with the M2 chip and the current Mac OS and I don't think I can get iTunes anymore. All I have is Apple Music.

I agree with you, the stock iPod OS for me is the way to go if one is already familiar and inside the apple ecosystem. for someone who is looking for a nice music player that does not use apple products at all, sure, rockbox could be a great options that will just bypass all of the apple stuff but then at this point might as well just buy another dedicated music player instead. i'm a big fan of apple products and ecosystem and i have had my entire music library in itunes for many years sorted and adjusted just the way i like it so iPod OS sync to itunes (now apple music) is the perfect way to get the music onto the iPod while keeping itsexactly how i like it. I hope apple keeps iPod compatibility forever

That's a great review of these Linux flavors on a 2011 laptop, taking into account the real-world considerations of the average user. One of which I am. For anyone considering this with a 2011 macbook pro or similar, I can offer the following: I have the 2011 macbook pro i5 / 8 GB RAM / 120 GB SSD. Mint (versions 19-22) with the Xfce Desktop offer about the same performance now as Mac OS X 10.6 did in 2011. Perhaps a little better. The Xfce desktop is apparently a little lighter than the one in this video. I have used only Xfce and cannot say. Also, on the same 2011 macbook pro, Debian 12.7 with LXDE desktop is comparable, though less immediately user friendly (an important point made in this video) than Mint. There is also LMDE which is Linux Mint Debian Edition. Mint is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so I am not sure of the precise advantages / disadvantages of choosing on over another - I am just a user, not a tech' user.

how do i uninstall rockbox? it doesn't work for me

Great Video! It's harder to dissemble than the 5th Gen, but worth it. Question: When the USB-C is installed, can I use an external DAC? I´m not sure, if the USB-C-Port outputs digital audio like in moder iPhones or Android Phones. Can somebody answer this? Thanx!

If you used Ventoy you could just use one USB stick.

this would be cool if it didnt need to be glued, that defeats the purpose of how repairable these ipods are. good luck cleaning up that glue in a few gears to replace tbe battery

It’s a cool idea, but there’s a lot of oversight. I don’t know why you need to break the tab, seems like you could design it to work around the issue.

This is such a great video! I got a 2015 15 inch MBP, I wonder if I can use egpu via those thunderbolt 2 ports on my machine

"The ipod classic still has some robux"

Great video, many thx! I was all in until I saw the crappy looking backplate. The iPod is all about quality and metal, not cheap plastic on the back or even such a knock off half moon. It looks like a Frankenstein iPod afterwards 😢

I have a simple question，How can I get a new ipod Classic？alipay？

just installed mine and did not have to bend the battery cable. it can be slanted and wrapped around the battery

Nice video! Thank you! this looks promising. Have you had any issues with it randomly disconnecting from the Mac? I bought a Satechi (that I am now returning) and I am running it with a WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X (WDS200T2X0E) on a MacBook Air - M1, 2020 with Sequoia 15.0.1 is not good as it keeps disconnecting, 🤷‍♂

My experience, running it with a WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X (WDS200T2X0E) on a MacBook Air - M1, 2020 with Sequoia 15.0.1 is not good. The drive randomly disconnects from my Mac, even when I’m not actively using it, and it’s caused file corruption several times. I’ve tried troubleshooting, but the issue persists with 2 enclosures I purchased. To me, this makes the product unusable for any reliable storage, or for working with files directly from the drive, so, I am returning it. Does anyone know of any other brand with similar speeds?

Is this mod compatible with the iFlash adapter.. meaning will it fit perfectly fine with that back housing and battery.

Is Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 (2280) support because it's Gen 3.0x4?

NOTE FOR iFLASH USERS, if syncing flac, you must drag your music into the music folder WHILE your iPod is still in sync mode in iPod OS. Your .flacs might corrupt over syncing with rockbox alone (for example, your song might play for 20 seconds and then skip to the next song)

This is great... is there room in there to put an Air Tag board in there, maybe power it from the main battery? it seems like you have a bit of room left over.

I want this but only for the USB C. BT is nice but anything to ditch that 30 pin connector.

always loved how solid ipod classics were made but they always felt so limited, this makes me want to get one since i have so much music on my computer

Thanks a lot for this video! It is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I have a 11" MB Air 2011 here that I'm afraid of going online with due to the fact that there are no security updates anymore. I think I will give Linux Mate a try to have this cute little machine getting used again. 😊 Thanks again!

hi is it works with ipod nano 5 ?

how does this perform with AirPods. if you hold the iPod in your pants pocket, does the audio cut out?
