**UPDATE** You CAN now actually play all of the iPod Click Wheel Games regardless of if you bought them or not. I just made a whole video about it: ua-cam.com/video/OM7mdKy3opo/v-deo.html
I have a 1TB Ipod classic & I absolutely love it! I use a Kokkia adapter to connect my wireless Bluetooth earbuds. I have over 12,000 songs & update it daily
For those curious the easiest way to get video on these is using Handbrake, which has a box option 'for ipod 5g support' and pick a 480p preset. Mpeg video format (.mp4). You can also have it bake in subtitles
@JOHNTITOR-kg9zj that's why I said you can bake them in. Baking subtitles means you burn them into the video, they become a part of the actual video. I have videos on my ipod 5g with subtitles
It wouldn’t work unless he shared his iTunes password. iTunes has a weird thing where you have to register computers to add songs, movies, games, etc. to your iPod.
@@Icy_Bowl192That’s only for media purchased through the Apple store - I use itunes 9.2 without being signed in and it loads fine (just convert files if needed)
Ive never cared to watch videos/movies on my iPod threwout the years. But you inspired me. I've upgraded my iPod classic to a 1.25TB monster. And im adding all my favorite movies & Shows!
I don’t have as many shows as you do but this is mostly what I use it for too. Old sd format shows look great for viewing on the classic. Also have my audiobook collection on it. I have about 100 songs so not much music. So nice to have this for when you’re stuck waiting for appointments. Use this save your phone battery.
Thanks Colton. There are some new things and mysteries solved in your video. This is despite my looking at various chat sites and You Tube videos over the years.
I have a 1TB iPod. As I write this, I have over 53,000 songs on the device. I have yet to notice any performance issues, but I may be getting close to the limit imposed by the operating system.
That’s an amazing show selection, I bought a full clear iPod from elite obsolete electronic guys time a go and the first thing I’ve done was transfer all futurama episodes in there and other tv shows and my music library still remains on my 3rd gen iPod touch. Unfortunately even if you have the latest 7gen classic, the amount of information it can handle its 50000 songs so 2tb its the maximum amount of storage that you can put on an iPhone just like Wade from dank pods discovered, there is no way to put more storage because the Os can’t handle it, but there always posible to have another iPod to fill
@@djcoltunezLol it must be so ingrained in you then! But seriously this was such a great video man!! Left me seriously wanting a modded iPod, especially since my mp3 player stopped turning on!
Your videos are awesome so far I have watched every video u posted. I'm also a retro collector I hope u get 1 million by the end of the year because your videos are fxcking awesome keep it up ❤️
@@djcoltunez how does it work? In the sense of ram,? I heard that the ram being limited messes up the whole storage expanding feature on the iPod slowing the iPod up tremendously?
I did this for a couple of years but at some point switched to Qobuz and a USB DAC connected to my iPhone together with a proper headphone. Never looked back. Digital sound quality does improve over the years and and the 5th gen iPod Video I had definitely did not sound better
Hi from Australia! How long does it take to transfer content on to the iPod over USB-A with the 30-pin connector? I imagine one album of music is not too long but videos would take time. Do you need an old edition of iTunes or can you do it with some other Mac or Windows software? Thanks!
I still have my iPod classic, but the mechanical hard drive is pretty much dead. I’m tempted update it because I can’t bring an Internet connectable device to work.
I saw the short you did and was wondering when you were going to make the video, i bought another ipod recently as i got inspired to do a shell swap. The ribbon cable broke so i gotta fix it :/ good video!
Mine is 1tb and with over 2k songs and 400 tv shows and movies I have used less than 300gb. Problem is when you convert the video it shrinks it down. Oh and the Bluetooth and USB C is awesome. Probably going to use the rest of my iPod memory backup storage.
can i buy one of these off you? id love to be able to enjoy music again on the go without dealing with streaming or ads or anything, just load it with EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE from the late 90s early 00s, nu metal reggae jazz whatever just load it up
Good question that no one has asked! There is a way on Windows & Mac to access 'hidden files' on devices. If you do this and open up your iPod with your computer's file manager, you are able to access all the files on your iPod, including the games. So if you don't have the game files saved and only have them on your iPod, this is how I would access them. They will however all be named differently in order for the OS to organize them and whatnot, and I don't believe the file of the games stays as what it was when you initially install them. But you should be able to make a copy and back it up - you can also install them on other iPods linked to your account, you would just have to memorize the file location on the iPod for it to read it correctly. I hope that answers your question and then some! 😅
@@djcoltunezBro I am not the guy who asked the question but I wanted to thank your for your long answer, it really shows your effort that you give lol thanks for the great video 👍
@@djcoltunez do you have any content on how this is done exactly? Or can recommend a company that can do it. I have a classic iPod that has everything on it as well but lost my iTunes when my computer crashed years ago.
Great video but I need to crush your dreams of higher storage. The ipod classics are all 32 bit systems which means 2TB is the largest address range it can see.
Can you do a video on how to convert movies/shows on Handbrake to sync to the ipod classics? I've got a 6th gen I modded and can't get any of my videos to work now. I've tried different versions of HB, but none of them will convert my itunes movies (I assume bc they're all DRM protected), so I'm trying to figure out where everyone gets movies and stuff now but can't figure that out either.
Most converts will let you pick the device you are converting for. I use a different program and it let me pick iPod classic and it converts everything to that format. Had to pay $70 for a lifetime subscription but it has lots of formats I can convert to.
@@Holliwood98 sorry was in bed and didn’t want to get up to look at my laptop. It’s Movavi Video Converter. It’s very easy. Just drag and drop the media then choose IPod Classic. It converts the video fast.
I can't get any videos to play on my iPod classic for some reason, even with conversion using Handbrake and VLC. Can't figure it out for the life of me.
Hey your heard news justice league crisis on infinite earth part 2 will have batman beyond and yes will friedle will be repricing hos role as Terry again
On Mac, yes-ish. iTunes doesn't really exist anymore, but it does show up on the system as an Apple device and you are still able to drag and drop to it. Same with the Apple Music App & Apple TV.
7500 songs? Ha. I have over 33000 that I want to get on my iPod. Currently that is 260GB of Music. My iPod only has 160GB. So I am thinking of buying a second one, just for classical music. I have absolutely NO interest in video or games for the iPod, so I don't necessarily think a modded iPod is for me.
The amount of unflinching wide eyed extremely close eye contact you make is incredibly unsettling. You're like if the man who held the world record for the most punchable face became a serial killer.
This is not nostalgia. That Ipod classic is ugly and does not look like the original one anymore. And with those bad Chinese parts (faceplate and backplate) make it even worst.
@@an_guitarist future project sir: 3D printed ipod (i.e., replace those bad Chinese parts with high-quality 3D printed ones). Then the video will be fun.
@@scientia-potentia That does seem a little more fun and homemade, you would just have to either have an aluminum printer or get the aluminum parts from an online retailer that 3d prints aluminum for it to be truly nostalgic
Wanting 1TB of storage is exactly what the iPod should fight. Why even use an iPod if you want so much music and videos? Makes no sense to me. Just use your phone. I use an iPod myself and definitely does not have 1TB of content. In the end you watch/listen to nothing because you're scrolling through endless lists of "content".
**UPDATE**
You CAN now actually play all of the iPod Click Wheel Games regardless of if you bought them or not.
I just made a whole video about it: ua-cam.com/video/OM7mdKy3opo/v-deo.html
This touched me in all the places that's a lot of nostalgia. That ipod is basically a museum artifact of the best time of a lot of our lives 😢
It touched me the way my uncle did
I have a 1TB Ipod classic & I absolutely love it! I use a Kokkia adapter to connect my wireless Bluetooth earbuds. I have over 12,000 songs & update it daily

Wouldn't be easy if he made an drive with all of its contents and shared the link? (It would be easy to make copies of it)
YES! Please!!!!
It wouldn’t work unless he shared his iTunes password. iTunes has a weird thing where you have to register computers to add songs, movies, games, etc. to your iPod.

Thanks for the tipoff on vintage iPod games. I miss playing AC/DC Pinball on my iPod Touch.
I've been looking into seeing how we can get old iPod Touch apps too! Looks like Elite Obsolete is also on the case for that! 🕵️♂️
@@djcoltunez if you have the .ipa file on hand, jailbreaking the device and installing the AppSync Unified tweak covers your bases in that regard
Thanks Colton. There are some new things and mysteries solved in your video. This is despite my looking at various chat sites and You Tube videos over the years.
Tshirt-over-knees drove my parents crazy.
Best Video in a while. Exactly what i was looking for. I am a Video and Movie fanatic. And Love the forfactor of the IPod. 😊

I had 54,000 and crashed, no go. 46,000 now about to find out . Love my iPods
yeah it's a ram hard limit and most people seem to have it fail slightly over 50,000 songs, but 50k generally works
knees in t-shirt inches away from the tv screen is such a lost memory … thank you for bringing it back to me lol:')

Omg that's crazy I want my ipod like that 😫 lol
You are my hero lol I go by Uncle JD and I love this channel im glad I found it lol
"Had customised"... You should do one yourself. It's very satisfying!
Apple, please bring back the Classic with updated plug in power ports, updated chipset & longer battery life. Thank YOU !
Can someone please tell me how to put a movie on a iPod without any converter website please please tell me it whould mean a lot to me😢
HandBreak is your best bet. It has preset settings just for the iPod classic video
Had my iPod customized by EOE. Totally recommended!
Dankpods was the example for this video
How many songs can your Ipod 2tb hold?
did you buy all those games? How much money did you spend on them????
Any chance you could post your list of shows in plain text?
I have an iPod classic 5th gen and I’m trying to put the Exorcist on it (my fav movie) but I can’t convert it to IPod. any suggestions for me please 🙏
How did you get iPod klick games?
How do you upload music to it.?
Man, I am SO gonna listen to Lemon Demon, watch The Buzz On Maggie, and play PaRappa the Rapper on that bad boi!
You should upload a lot of the stuff you have on the Internet Archive! Who knows, you may have the last remaining copy of something.
Nice man
The power of moms credit card really pulled through
How long does the battery last?
My 7 gen iPod touch only lasts about 2/3 hours and that’s only playing music 😢 I want a classic
If you swap the hdd for an iflash or similar you can get more battery life on just that, and then you can add a bigger battery while you're in there
80 hours per charge 😊
I put an iflash quad in mine, with a 3000mah battery. I charge it once every 5-6 weeks! 👍🏽
How you upgraded the battery 🔋
How did you add games to the 7th gen? Been trying to figure that out for a while
Video coming soon!!
I did this for a couple of years but at some point switched to Qobuz and a USB DAC connected to my iPhone together with a proper headphone. Never looked back. Digital sound quality does improve over the years and and the 5th gen iPod Video I had definitely did not sound better
cant shuffle video.. dame deal breaker. ty for shearing.
6:01 I see the Buzz on Maggie there
I need some proof that you actually have it on there, maybe in a short?
What about the battery life. Is it good? How many hours of runtime you get for a 100% charge
Where did you get the custom iPod?
Do they ship internationally?

Where and how do you get one
Could you tell me what settings you used to convert video for the iPod on handbrake?
I still have my iPod classic, but the mechanical hard drive is pretty much dead. I’m tempted update it because I can’t bring an Internet connectable device to work.
What are your handbreak settings? I clicked on the Preset/Devices Apple 240p30...It crops the edge of the screen to make it fit.
I saw the short you did and was wondering when you were going to make the video, i bought another ipod recently as i got inspired to do a shell swap. The ribbon cable broke so i gotta fix it :/ good video!
there is a ipod converter in itunes

Maybe I missed it but did you say which generation of the iPod Classic this was? 5th/6th/7th Generation?
How are you all adding songs to your ipods?? I have a classic, but since itunes is not working anymore I cant add any new song :/
