I just didn't like von Dutch, 360 was mid and Apple was kind of good so for me if the singles don't slap listening to the album is demotivating... almost like a chore, but will give it a chance eventually
There are apps that let you play your own music from a folder on your iPhone. That way I always have a selection of albums with me. They’re mine and can’t be removed by a streaming service. I don’t think I’m ready to go back to an iPod. Although at this point the only thing keeping me on this device are the nice cameras. Maybe one day I’ll go back to a feature phone. 🤔
iPods also go hand-in-hand with the right to repair movement (at least with the Classic and Mini models anyway), there's a huge community of tech enthusiasts who open up their iPods and either repair or even upgrade them past their original limits. Because iPods are a mature and well-understood technology, there is plenty of documentation available as well as custom parts to do this and anyone with the right tools can get into them, which is not something that can be said with the likes of modern smartphones. Not only do you own your music, you own your hardware too!
i went from using spotify to using itunes and my ipod touch 2g that DOESNT CONNECT TO THE SHITTING ITUNES STORE!!!! which means that every time i buy a song i have to SYNC UP my BLOODY 2008 ipod to my ITUNES FUCKING 12!
I still download MP3s, I use streaming services more for discovery than as a replacement for local music. My sister gave me her old iPod(which I gave to her years ago), and I've considered modding it with flash memory, bluetooth, wireless charging, USB-C... but then I'd still have to deal with iTunes, and I don't want to subject myself to such masochism. I wonder if Rockbox is still a thing?
Pro tip for everyone who wants to get an iPod and not spend a lot on music, get a laptop or any computer with iTunes a disc reader for the computer if it doesn’t have one anda library card, borrow music cds from the library and import them to iTunes then return the cds after the music is safe in your iPod, same with audiobooks
I have an ipod shuffle that I just charged up, but when I tried to add music to it, I found that the ipod does not show up on my desktop. I am using OS Monterey 12.7.6. Have I just forgotten how to use an ipod, or is this system incompatible with ipods? Thanks.
I have that ipod white stick and that audio is sooooo much better and ipod touch ☺️☺️ when comes to music apple is better audio quality is top notch no meed equalizer etc
Copy brats. Surely Charlie XCX owes a debt to Sophie? And this year should be owned by Sophie? The song of the year. Yes! Sophie was someone who really knew how to push boundaries
I’ll admit, I’m not too knowledgeable about hyperpop so can’t really appreciate the foundations Sophie built… but you can’t deny the year belongs to Charli XCX
@@OllieSach I wouldn’t care if she was as famous as K-pop groups. Just that charli’s music is just… mid asf. Though I did enjoy b2b out of that whole album. Vroom vroom, is better than basically whole brat album, but just the beginning.
I still use my Sony Walkman NW-A55 since 2017. Its not just Ipods. You actually don't really need to find really old Ipod just find ones that is still making audio players like Sony, Fiio and HyBy.
I don't like having two devices, but I have a sbc at home which I use as a server. I installed navidrome on it and my music is hosted there. The client on my phone caches it, so that I can listen to my music library even offline. It's free, no ads, no subscriptions, I have lots of music which isn't available on Spotify, etc
Hey Ollie, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, currently I'm looking for more works, do you love to have a logo for your channel's branding to have a memorable graphic based monogram logo to help your audience recognise and follow your channel easier? I would love to design a musical themed logo inspired by your direction for you! Let me know if you interested to make it happen! :-)
Great vid.. Any advice on using ipod classic with Bluetooth cans. Are there any potable amps that have Bluetooth output to headphone.. Any help would be appreciated
i think this year was amazing for the pop and r&b music , many famous artists published albums and also new ones got fame. finally i can say that the 2020s music era is starting to grow
The con is you need to download musik need to sort it and you need to keep it uptodate when you like hearing new music but its offline no ads that anyone you so you Dont need to wory about that
I would think it would be cool to use too although the only think I’m thinking of is just how much expense I’ll have to put out to just get one album. For me I know and love over one thousand albums and twice as much for artist and IPods just wouldn’t be able to fit how much I enjoy in my daily life. And being born in 2000 I do in fact remember using those kinds of devices although I didn’t have a working iPod I had a what was called and IRiver and it was just as good for me at the time.
Hey Ben! I am actually working on a video that addresses a lot of what you're talking about! Will be out at the end of the month, but your comment has really helped fuel some thoughts! Cheers!
I'm using it to save battery life on my phone. When I'm at the gym I already own all my fav songs on my ipod and I don't need to subscribe monthly to anything.
@OllieSach well I have Shazam on my phone if I hear something I like. I listen to music daily and also you can have spotify or apple music on an ipod too. It's just my main music device.
i use an ipod nano daily for running. nothing can beat it for me and i do not want to buy a smartwatch that will work worse. Plus ipod's UI is so fucking good considering that the device is a tiny aluminium square.
I have gone back to physical media because I could not find the music I wanted and streaming services could never figure out what I wanted to listen to anyways. I still had my old iPod from back in 2008 and it has been wonderful to get back into listening to exactly what I want to.
Bought a Sony NW-A105 Walkman a little while ago and while I don't use it very often, I very much enjoy the times when I do use it. No notifications interrupting my music, and a very "warm" sort of sound
My reasons for using DVDs again: 1) No ads 2) They can't remove them from my collection whenever they please. 3) They're mine, and I can lend them out freely. 4) If the internet goes down, my DVDs still work. 5) No auto-play "Watch next" previews. 6) Bloopers and special features/deleted scenes. 7) No logins or passwords to remember/locate.
I think Blu-ray is superior in most ways. The only real advantage I can see with DVD is that they can play with free software on a PC (even commercial ones). Blu-ray you have to get a commercial software to play them, or decrypt them/rip them first.
I've been daily driving iPods for about a year now, and I absolutely love these things. The retro look, the music ownership, the intentionality, the fact that no one else can pause your music for you; I love using these things
I never subscribe to the streaming music services as I believe in owning music I buy. As a result I buy music CDs audiobooks and feed the iPod. I actually have a variety of iPods via getting them at bootsales, from nanos, to mini, to 4th & 5th gen, 6th & 7th gen classics and just recently I got my first iPod touch a 4th gen for a bargain £10. I’m planing on upgrading some with larger battery capacity and hd at some point in the near future
nice video! i got a few myself and have been using one for a bit (ipod nano 2nd gen), it was a pain at the start to put music on though. but i found a program that works! Im using a Chromebook (aarch64) with a Linux environment, and i use gtkpod. it works great! (unless your ipod is mac formated (my ipod touch 2nd gen) at that point your gonna need a windows pc or mac to format it.)
Oh very interesting! I keep reading that rockbox is really good but I don't have a PC to install it! Do you have any recommendations for wired headphones btw?
