first for ipods are shit

where the fuck can I buy a 1tb HDD for a iPod classic 5.5?

whats a good cheap player for watching videos and listening to music?
i dont want to buy a phone for that.

a secondhand phone might be the cheapest thing for that

i owned one of these and used it for 2 years. it's a piece of shit. the software on the player itself is buggy as all fuck, the syncing software for windows is buggy as all fuck, the thing hardlocks all the time etc. if it wasn't for the sound quality (which was good compared to value players at the time but now not so special) i wouldn't have used it at all.

Just buy an iPhone xs Max lol

You could look at an old iPod Nano model. I have no clue what they're selling for compared to an iPod Classic that have skyrocketed over the years.

android phone + droidsound-e and VLC plays everything, so PMP players are pretty obsolete,

but as far as lightweight players go. I still have my rockbox sansa clip+ and I got this 2GB Jensen mp3 player that runs off of a single AAA battery. Believe it or not, this Jensen supports OGG, so it's pretty great, and when I bought it, they were selling them for under $10.

iFlash Quad adapter

but i don't want a sd card user, 1tb worth of SD cards is $$$
I want hdd

>where can I buy a 1.8" 1TB PATA HDD
You can't. The largest compatible HDD I know of is 250GB, good luck finding one.

I currently own this thing, it plays FLAC without any issues but the build quality feels pretty cheap and the interface isn't very convenient

oh you can put in SD cards up to 64GB

What should I get? One fuze+ new for $70 or one that went into "panic mode" when the seller plugged it into their pc and now has a white screen with text that I cant read on the photo. That one is $30. I don't want to waste money but also want it to actually fucking work.

These threads always die so quick.
Would it be worth taking a Nano and modding it's storage? They're comfy as fuck but storage is so small.

can someone please help me?

What's the battery situation like for iPods these days? I really haven't had that great of luck with Chinese batteries for my other electronics. That link about aftermarket batteries that claims sellers are trying to sell the batteries as anywhere between 112% and 167% of their actual capacity (assuming they're even decent quality to start with) doesn't inspire confidence.

can someone please redpill me on sansa clips or point me to like some web 1.0 fanpage where i can find their design history in obsessive level of detail?

zen vision: m was the greatest pmp ever created and they should've kept making them to compete with ipod. superior file support, superior battery, superior interface, superior customization, and cheaper.

Time to suggest a Sony A55 again, it is the best you can get in the current market, the Bluetooth is comfy.

Which one can I buy that has bluetooth? I fell for the bluetooth meme and now I can't go back. The wires just start to annoy me now

i had it back in the days, it was good but not perfect. the software wasn't very thought out and it crashed often. Plus it wasone thick motherfucker

every smartphone has bluetooth compatibility

And are you going to ever really require that much storage in a phone you probably use a few apps and watch porn on? The greatest thing I ever done was trade out my v20 for an iPhone once I realized I don't even really do much on my phone other than send texts and play on a couple apps. 32gbs thus far has been perfect for me.

How do I add lyrics to songs on my M0?
The storage is drag and drop, and I can't find any interface program.

>are you going to ever really require that much storage in a phone
nah, the storage capacity is only to dab on iToddlers

When you need a phone that does what you need it to do Apple's got you covered.

i don't need a phone that starts to get its speed and battery throttled when a new model comes out though

Idiots like you make my stomach churn.

>still thinking the speed and battery are throttled
iPhone users have been able to opt-out of that for a while user, if you stopped jerking off to furry porn and read some news articles one in a while you'd know this.

>not realizing apple invented usb c

The only reason I got an iPhone is so that when I want to upgrade I can get a decent chunk back of what I paid as opposed to a Samsung phone that is worth 50 cents after a year

is the sandisk clip jam any good?

buying a new phone isn't "opting out" of the forced degradation of the old one

>being so retarded you can't even google it to see you can opt-out of the throttling in settings.

I guess masturbation does make you retarded.

Dell has as much claim to that as Apple does.

>Apple doesn't throttle my phone, I turned off that setting!
I guess apple users really do all have fetal alcohol syndrome

Attached: 1b2.png (414x459, 263K)

and you know damn good and well if it wasn't for Apple it wouldn't be as mainstream as it was today.

Sure, because every other port they used got so popular outside of their devices.
They just piggy backed on an ongoing project.

>fetal alcohol syndrome
>posts pictures of Anime girls
>being so daft and buying into what a bunch of other neckbeards say about a product instead of your own form of evidence-based practice.
>Thinking google doesn't do the same with android powered phones

Golden user, absolutely golden. Know a guy who's been using a 6s since it released, not a single complaint of this throttling you speak of.

IEEE 1394 had a pretty good run for a bit.

>anime girls
anime website nigga
>evidence-based practice
how many people getting the exact same problems year after year is enough evidence for you?
tell me, does Tim Cook's tim cock really taste like apples?

Apple was disingenuous about their throttling before, you think they wouldn't lie again? Remember "touch disease" and their complete lack of giving a fuck? But you're right, your single anecdote completely undoes all the shit apple has pulled.

Firewire was theirs first, interesting, I'll give you that one.
But still fuck Apple and fuck their anti-right to repair stance.

>anime website nigga
message board=/= anime website
>same problems year after year
need we bring up the fact google can remote into your phone even though it's been 11 years? Or how about that malicious video hijacking flaw that has popped up?
>Tim Cook's tim cock really taste like apples?
does Ki Nam Kim's Kim knob nam taste like kimchi?

It's probably some stupid thing to do with trade secrets or some stupid shit as usual. Personally on the standpoint, my self of should you decide to repair it yourself you're accepting the fact you voided your warranty.

>message board =/= anime website
jesus how new are you? 4channel has been an anime website from day one
>google does bad things
that doesn't have anything to do with apple l i t e r a l l y gimping your phone (although iFags like you probably like being gimped :^))
