    Do you have a guide or a part list or anything? I still have my iPod I bought new in 2006 but it hasn’t seen use in many years for a slew of issues, the main one being the headphone jack itself failing, but I’d love to refresh it like this.

    What’s that little black thing that kinda looks like a tiny antenna in the top right corner, right next to the battery indicator/percentage?

        I thought it was an bt transmitter before I saw the cable in the bottom of the shot. A lot smaller then the fm transmitter I have.

      I know the angle is a bit weird, but that is a wired headphone/earbud cable. The cable just has a 90 degree bend at the end.

    damn!

    if you don’t mind me asking:
    how did you create the transparent casing? It looks really great and I’m not sure if it was 3D printed or some other way

      Does it still count as “imadeit” if I made it using a hodge podge of other people’s parts? Haha, I ordered the custom shell from eBay ☺️ but it feels very high quality (not 3D printed)

        As a 3d printer enthusiast, I object to you implying that 3d printed parts aren’t high quality, while acknowledging that you’re very correct.

    Always cool to see ‘retro’ tech brought back, especially with major overhauls. Kinda wish Apple still did dedicated ‘dumb’ MP3 players, if I’m being honest.

      I’ve seen a few open hardware projects for “dumb” MP3 players over the years. I found this article on the Tangara project and am tempted to build one.

      Edit: Scrolled down and saw someone already posted this.

      Bet you could manage with a microcontroller and some parts. Use a bare chip, solder it all fancy (might take a few tries, use something cheap, order in bulk, attach the big expensive drive last), print the case, etc. Bet there’s even a guide out there somewhere.

          Yeah that’d be nice, but, lost technology; no longer exists.

          Build it yourself or get nothing.

    One day I will upgrade my Zune 2nd gen into a modern device, like this. I can only hope the software keeps working for syncing, at least until someone writes a custom OS for it.
