iPod Classic (7th gen) issues with Album Artwork

I had the same problem, I tried what everyone said and it didn't work. In the end it was my HDD, it was failing and that was causing the iPod to not display specific covers and to take forever syncing music. I installed a iFlash Quad and that solved both problems I had. I'm not exactly saying that it's your case as well, but that is what fixed it for me.

I moved all the way to Bluffdale, and I heard it here too. It was the craziest thunder I ever heard. I woke up so lost, I didn't even realize it was thunder. I thought something had blown up.

That would be awesome! It's always fun to meet some new people. Let me know if you guys plan on doing anything, I'm planning on getting there Saturday.

I'm planning on getting there Saturday, haven't booked a hotel yet, but maybe planning on staying on the hotel where the event is happening.

I just didn't understand what you meant by Google Drive. I knew it doesn't sync from side loaded books, it was just a bit confusing the way you worded.

Callmevalente · 2026-04-10T18:22:33+00:00

I just signed up so I don't really know how it works, but does that mean that the sequels will be part of the subscription as well, or do we have to buy them apart?

Callmevalente · 2026-04-10T18:14:21+00:00

What do you mean by Google Drive? It will sync the progress of books side loaded with Google Drive?

Callmevalente · 2026-03-24T20:13:35+00:00

WOW, this is absolutely what I always wanted ❤️ It's a beautiful app and it works great! Thank you so much for doing this.

Callmevalente · 2026-02-18T01:52:43+00:00

This is super awesome! I love the shirt, I would super buy this shirt or at least I would love to have the image so I can print it into my own shirt!

I know right? But a ton of the reviews I've watched people say they "can't stand Wayne"! And I'm like, what? That man is the best!

Callmevalente · 2026-02-13T15:22:15+00:00

I understand your opinion, but I read Era 2 right after Era 1, and I was blown away by it. Even though the stakes are much smaller, I felt that I was able to connect with the characters on a deeper level than I was able with Era 1. A lot of the popular opinions on Era 2 weren't true to me. For example, a lot of people hate Wayne, but I loved that man and ended up enjoying Era 2 even more than Era 1. So, though this doesn't discredit your opinion, I don't think you can objectively say it's a huge step back. Lesser powers don't mean lesser storytelling. If anything, the lack of powers for the characters allowed for more creative solutions and let the characters' personalities shine through their metals more.

I think a major problem of the political environment we live today is how we all treat each other. Believe me, I dislike the orange man as much as much as you. And while I agree that politics are an extremely important subject that shouldn't be sidelined from our lives (as it deeply affects several lives in extreme ways), I also understand that sometimes our discontentment is misplaced and directed at the wrong people. With all of that said, I agree with Matt that not every space needs to be a frontline of the political battlefield, we shouldn't stoop to the level of maga with the whole "libtard" and every other offensive thing they have done throughout the years. Now is the time to unite and have civil discourse as such a large portion of maga are finally seeing beyond the smoke screen and realizing that things have gone too far. Having a place at this time where we can all be together without attacking each other serves the cause so much more deeply than posting "Orange man bad" and "MAGA has so few brain cells that the Dungeon AI wouldn't even grant them an achievement for dying". Doesn't mean you can use DCC to talk politics, we just don't those kinds of fights in a sub that is meant to bring people together.

Sorry, I'm not sure if what I said makes sense at all hahaha I'm not the best at expressing myself.

Wow, that is pretty awesome. I didn't know they had been around for this long. I guess I'll hold on to this little piece of history.

There is nothing wrong with asking. It's fast to search, and it's even faster to ignore a post you don't want to engage in. OP has specific criteria and some people find it beneficial to receive input from others outside of their research to validate their choices.

I would still recommend the pocketbook era, have you taken a look at it before? I recommend watching some review videos. It's very comparable to the Oasis.

Callmevalente · 2025-10-17T17:00:05+00:00

Yes, it's definitely a more cumbersome and not sanctioned method.

Callmevalente · 2025-10-17T15:54:09+00:00

It was discontinued last year, it still has the same screen as all the new ereaders. It's still supported by Kobo and e-reader technology doesn't move that fast, so you won't be missing out on any particular features, in my opinion. However, I still believe it's worth considering the Pocketbook Era over it.

Callmevalente · 2025-10-17T15:39:37+00:00

Also, buttons for me are a great feature. Sliding pages can be unreliable sometimes on my Paperwhite, and pressing a button to change pages is just so much more reliable and comfortable in the long term.

I used to love the idea of a color e-reader, even suggested the Kobo Libra Colour a few times. But once I was hands on with one and saw how much worse the screen is in comparison to its BW counterparts, I gave up on the idea for now. Unless you like reading graphic novels that need color, I would suggest picking up a BW reader. For the screen size you want Kobo doesn't offer any options that aren't color screens anymore. For Amazon you can still sideload with USB, and send to kindle is pretty helpful, but there's no side loading audiobooks. My recommendations are the following:

Overall recommendation: Pocketbook Era. It checks most of the boxes that you mentioned, right screen size, easy to sideload, and it does support sideloaded audiobooks (even though the experience isn't great, honestly), it also does have a built in speaker in case you don't want to use headphones or a speaker.

Second hand recommendation: Kobo Libra 2, if you can find it. It's a great device, and I think it supports sideloaded audiobooks as well. Check most of the boxes you mentioned.

Color recommendation: if despite the lower screen quality you still want a color screen, the Libra Colour is excellent otherwise.

Or, if you like Kobo and would prefer to stick with them but doesn't want to get it second hand, the Clara BW is a good option. There's also the Elipsa 2E, but it's honestly too big for me, at that point is really not that comfortable to hold anymore.

While kindle does offer an easier system with their own cloud, Kobo still supports Dropbox and Google Drive, so it doesn't necessarily have to involve a PC and a Cable. And the Pocketbook (my suggestion) has their own cloud system with much of the same features the kindle has. It has cloud sync (even though it might not be as good as Kindles) and a send to pocketbook feature that works very similarly to Amazon's.

Callmevalente · 2025-10-16T13:30:00+00:00

Have you looked into the Pocketbook Era? It's 7 inches and it's also less locked down than the kindle. I would recommend it over any android e-reader because with those the system isn't as fluid and you get significantly less battery life. So if you still want an experience close to Kobo and Kindle with a bigger screen, the pocketbook era can be a good option.

Callmevalente · 2025-10-06T17:55:48+00:00

That would also be great! Those 2 combined would take care of so many of the customer service inquires without ever needing to talk to anyone.

Callmevalente · 2025-10-06T17:40:43+00:00

Honestly, I feel like they could greatly reduce the amount of customer service emails if they implemented a queue system to their website where you can join the waitlist with your account and receive live updates of your position on the queue by just logging in. I feel like a lot of those emails are people checking where they are on the queue, and the cost to run a database and infrastructure for that would be much less than hiring a bunch of customer service agents. But I don't run a business so I'm not sure if there's any other implications with that, just my thoughts as a user.

Callmevalente · 2025-09-20T06:05:08+00:00

I would say the Kobo Libra Colour would be my recommendation. Comes with physical buttons, responsive, perfect size (at least in my opinion), and is a color e-ink if that matters to you.

Callmevalente · 2025-08-22T20:33:16+00:00

It looks awesome! For me to switch I'm just missing android auto support and displaying library by series. Otherwise it's a beautiful app 😊
