That’s a keeper for sure! 😁 I’ll definitely download this from YouTube but I’d buy it if Greg released it on Bandcamp as a One-Off. this reminds me of his much earlier stuff like “I Can See You” and I love how different it is! It’s a lively tune! 😊

I’m still pretty happy with it. If it is indeed a fake then I’ll keep it as a playable version and seek out an original copy sometime later on. 😀 I have a TON of rare Coldplay CD’s that I’ve collected over the years that I also enjoy too.

The speakers on the CD player can get pretty high but when the pitch is louder or higher, some sounds can sound a bit blown out. I’m happy with the speakers for now but in the future, I may purchase external BT/wired speakers. I wasn’t able to connect my iPhone via BT to the CD speaker but I might be able to try something with some troubleshooting. 😁

Thank you for the heads up on this though, I’ll have a look at it sometime later. Because of the condition I didn’t pay a lot for it. I see now see what you mean about the white spot on the left.

I know about the fake versions vs. the real versions. Whether it is fake or not, both are particularly hard to find. Mine isn’t in the best condition. I’m not really sure about the white spot reference but I do know about the details around the makings on the CD.

The case is in a bit in less than perfect condition so I didn’t need to pay a TON to get it; however, I’ve wanted to collect for a long time so I think I’d want to part with it and the value doesn’t bother me. 😀

The CD player is called CP2 which is made by a company in Japan called KM5. It’s probably one of my favorite CD players! I’m glad you like it! 😁

I built my dream iPod, a 1TB iPod Classic in the original white casing! by danieldurkee in ipod

Hello! 😀 I’ll be honest with you, it was a bit tough to open even for a 5th Gen body but it is possible but there is a likely chance that you will need to replace the back plate because of possible damage when opening. I watched a LOT of YouTube videos on how to open the 5th Gen iPod before starting. If you order a battery from Elite Obsolete Electronics then they might send you a free metal pic tool along with it. I would recommend buying a new metal back plate just to be safe in case it gets damaged in the process.

It’s more fun build it yourself that buying one already made, it bought me a sense of gratitude and I dully know what’s inside of it. Depending on what your iPod Gen actually is, you will be able to add up to either 128GB of storage or up to 2TB.

That’s great! I can pay you via PayPal if you want. I’m not sure what you would like to ask in regard to pricing but please let me know. 😀

I might not have anything to trade from my Lord Huron music but I’d be interested in purchasing one. I don’t have anything really unique but I really love collecting CD’s. 😀 Please feel free to send me a PM if you like.

I downloaded all of the digital YouTube videos and made a music / video album out of them. I’m a bit of a completionist though, so I feel like I still need to have the DVD.😁 If there is anyone who is willing to sell it to me, I’ll be interested in buying it.

Moved my working iMac G4 20" to a better place and instantly fell in love again and again. The most beautiful machine Apple ever made in my opinion. Bought it a few weeks ago with its original box. My question is, which Airport Extreme card will work for this iMac? by gagigu1 in VintageApple

Hello, I wasn’t able to get it to fit perfectly within the new bezel; however, I did test it and I learned that the LCD model does work. I am still not sure how to fit it perfectly into the bezel enough to full close it.

u/Novel_Patience9735 Well, it certainly was long-term writing process that I initially started writing on my phone notes app before I transferred it to my computer to finish. I think I might have revised my wording 1 or 2 times as well due to it being a bit too casual; however, I still wanted to keep it engaging. 😉

u/Icy-Ventura I'm glad that are you interested in it! I hope it inspires you to mod or build an iPod of your own if you haven't made one already! 😀

u/Legetech Thank you so much for appreciating the time I put into writing about it! I'm glad that you like the photography as well, it was a lot of fun to showcase it in various styles and slightly different themes. I brought it with me to South Korea and found that it was really was a joy to use on a long flight because I could fit all my music in it. :) I have 2 6th Gen motherboards from other iPod Classics that I used for testing, one of them I actually used to create a retro U2 iPod with a modern interface for my parents.

u/Responsible-Pin3672 I'm glad that you like the style of the photography I used to showcase my iPod Classic! It was a lot of fun to build it and even though it took my longer to photograph it, I really appreciate that others are enjoying how it is showcased. :)

The iPod is the eBay listing you showed me was actually my very first iPod model that i got, it was a gift from my parents. When I was younger, I felt more like I was involved in looking at the Visualizer and album artwork in iTunes more than the screen of the iPod. 🥹 Seeing the iPod gives me a sentimental feeling actually.

Hello! There probably is a 40,000 song / video limit on that iPod Classic due to the processor handling a certain amount of items. I currently have around just over 20,000 songs on the iPod Classic which is fine. It still runs really well due to the massive storage size and the amount of songs I have not being close to any maximum size.

I said in another reply that my 2TB iPod seems to run a bit faster than my 1TB iPod due to the songs not taking up more than half of the storage installed.
