It’s a quick Google search for an alternative software that is pretty user-friendly and independent of Apple.

Also I suggest replacing the Hard drive with a card that lets you put in SD cards.

Back in the day, I used to rock iPod Linux. Looks like it’s still about http://www.ipodlinux.org/

There was also rockbox that let you play flac on iPod. https://www.rockbox.org/

Or less exteme, I’m sure that foobar2000 had plugins for managing your iPod.

I ‘member putting a movie on a tiny little Nano. And Doom. Girls nerds loved it. Simpler times.

Both made possible by Linux IIRC!

it let’s you use the iPod like a USB drive where you can play anything that you put on there. it can also play ogg vorbis or vorbis or a lot of at her formats.

If you like this aesthetic, perhaps check out the Tangara on Crowd Supply. https://www.crowdsupply.com/cool-tech-zone/tangara

It’s fully open-source, too, so anyone can contribute to making improvements and a company can never discontinue it.

I Made This

Create post

Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

  • Messes
  • Children
  • Biological… byproducts
  • Bigotry

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don’t try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.
