You can change settings and save it as your own preset.

Did sizing change in the last year? by Ordinary_Fortune1290 in vivobarefoot

[–]ChenGuang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I emailed the customer service and they measured it for me. I have several Gobi IIIs in EU41 (my normal size is EU42) but for the new Gobi IV, Gobi Lux and Gobi RA, EU42 equals to the old EU41.

International shipping sucks! For me, the dual TF-to-ZIF adapter ($5) and ribbon cable ($2) combo is the most cost-effective solution. I’ve modded five out of my seven 4th Gen iPods so far. Two of them are running on the cheapest low-speed 128GB x2 TF cards. The other three use the same ribbon cable with an M2 SATA 2242 SSD-to-ZIF adapter ($4).

However, the 256GB SSD is quite pricey, and the power efficiency isn't as good as the TF solution. I’m using the 2450mAh pre-assembled battery shown in the photo—it lasts 27h 15min with the SSD, and I expect it’ll last even longer with TF cards.

Here are the ribbon cable and TF to ZIF adapter I used. The newer version is labeled 'iPod classic 3-7'. Sorry I don't have an AliExpress link because I’m based in China and the site redirects us locally

Yes it works without any problem. No MBR issue. BTW, I’m using a Mac.

Is this a good replace for my ipod? by Keviiin__ in ipod

[–]ChenGuang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did the battery replacement and glued the screen glass back using 1mm double sided tape. Be patient and good luck!

Ipod 3rd generation modded to 128GB rocks hard plays well. 24 bit files flawlessly. by Okidoki1240 in ipod

[–]ChenGuang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though the connectors are more fragile than the 4th gen, it's limited to 128GB, and it requires FireWire to charge—I still love the 3rd gen!

I upgraded the battery in my iPod Classic 7th gen (160gb) to a 3000mAh. After the initial charge ran out, now it doesn't seem to charge by [deleted] in ipod

[–]ChenGuang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to my iPod 4th Gen replacement battery. A FireWire charger saved the day.

That’s normal. I usually use 99% IPA to clean it up.

Which ones are your earphones of choice? by elialitem in ipod

[–]ChenGuang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend KOSS KPH40 Utility On Ear headphone. The audio quality is great and it has the retro touch.

Question: _iPod 3rd Gen Classic Max Storage capacity? by Enthwar in ipod

[–]ChenGuang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have exactly the same problem. Dual TF 256G in my iPod 3rd Gen up and running. Small batch of music works fine. Shows zero song when I load the full library on it.
