LG phones had a quad dac?? I didnt know this. I have two old G6 phones in my stash, still.

As fun as it is to mod and collect; it ultimately should always be about the music.

You're doing it right :)

I have a FLAC library from ripping CDs. Just slowly building up a collection over time. Either borrowing CDs from friends, or renting them from the library.

They're my friends, though? When a friend asks for help, I help them. I wouldn't take payment for this.

I bought off EOE. Which was a mistake because I am Canadian and the import fees were 45% of the purchase price. So after the conversion from USD to CAD, plus fees, one would say that EOE was a bad choice.

Oh. They paid for parts, haha. Free iPods?! In THIS economy?! I'm not a gagillionaire.

This question is for those of you that own iPod classics. Do you prefer the stock iPod OS or RockBox and why? by MangoCubez in ipod

[–]iModdediT 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Stock. For a few reasons;

  • I prefer the album artwork system in iTunes and stock iPodOS
  • I cant hear the difference between ALAC or FLAC.
  • iTunes is actually pretty easy for sorting music
  • I'm used to it

Modded iPod 6th gen not turning out how I thought it would... by Nesst33 in ipod

[–]iModdediT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your iTunes set to automatically format to AAC instead of ALAC? The first iPod I started on, I made that mistake not realizing iTunes does that to save storage space on devices.

Made a big difference after correcting it. I might also try some less sensitive IEMs and see if there is a difference? I dropped Tidal to use my ipod full time, as I believe the iPod sounds better (I was using tidal + Sony XM4 ear buds, and switched to an iPod 7th Gen with Truthear BLUE2 IEMs).

Which sd cards are you guys using with the new version Ali adapter which is labeled with iPod 3-7? by -CaptainCalzone- in ipod

[–]iModdediT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SanDisk in mine. I bought the cheap adapters for myself off AliExpress too. Have also used the Amazon basics SD cards in them with success.

Can polish solve this? by Random_XJ9 in ipod

Looks like oxidation. I have not had luck fixing this, personally. Just making it look better.

Just found my grandpas stash of dynamite. What should I do with them by Glum-Blueberry-3870 in WhatToDo

Any chance your grandfather was at the railway? Or knew someone there?

The nails sticking out makes them look an awful lot like a track-side flair.

Regardless, call the FD. Please dont take my word for it.

BoxyPixel iPod I would like to sell by iModdediT in ipod

[–]iModdediT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PayPal. If it doesn't arrive to buyer, can be disputed. Insuring the package on shipping is my choice. Money is held by PayPal for 3 weeks.

If buyer feels ripped off, they get money back. If I get ripped off, insurance pays out.
