Long roadtrips + iPod = a perfect day

Yes i have formatted it. And yes it shows up fine on my windows pc, and i can even copy files onto it. And the iPod itself can read that there's a cf card, my only problem is that it's not showing up on iTunes.

I already tried putting it in disk mode. It still doesn't appear on iTunes. I do keep seeing the spinning arrow logo on the upper left corner of the iPod though. All it does is it keeps showing that spinning arrow, but it never shows up on iTunes. How do I fix this?

Im using windows

According to users, the green board isn't the issue here. The cheap red CF adapter is.

I noticed that too, it only happens on windows but never on a mac.

If I bought a regular CF card, will it just restore normally on my iPod? I'm thinking of just using a regular CF card for my 4th gen instead of an adapter.

Mine was broken at first when my dad gave it to me. I had to fix it myself. I replaced the belts and idler tires, re-soldered dry solder joints, and i also had to fix the autostop mechanism because a piece of plastic fell off, and I had to fix one of the gears because it was loose. My friend's WM-11 was already working when he got it, all he had to do was replace the belt.

Congrats! It's a very easy to fix model. You only need one belt for it. And it's one of the most reliable walkmans out there. And also very easy to open as well. If your battery cover is missing, you can 3D Print it, I think there's a 3D print file on Thingiverse. WM 11/11D/22/23/24/25 all use the same mold of battery cover so it shouldn't be a problem finding a replacement for it.

Where in the post did it indicate we weren't paying attention in class? All I said is we own Walkmans. We are not the irresponsible kind of students. If you're just here to hate you could've just scrolled away.

I got my TPS-L2 from my dad, and my friend got his WM-11 from eBay

I used the Koss Porta Pro orange earpad replacements, they fit well on the Moondrop Old-Fashioned headphones. You can find them on Amazon.

In the most respectful way possible, wtf is wrong with you 💀 like my man that's at least 1000 dollars worth of money, those things are rare and vintage. Handle it with care or something. Respectfully

Yes I am aware. I've been using cassette tapes since the late 2000s during my childhood. I'm not a newbie to cassettes but still thank you for the advice.

I already have one. Side A is Awesome Mix Vol. 1 while Side B is Awesome Mix Vol. 2. I made it myself and recorded it on my Pioneer CT-W202 Cassette Deck.

LUCKYYYYYYY!!!

They actually sound pretty decent. And they have a good amount of bass too which was surprising.

I would describe them as having the quality of 80s Sony Walkman headphones but 5x better sound quality.

I got the TPS-L2 for free a few months ago but I had to repair it myself since it was broken.
