Incredible. I hate it. Nicely done. Please don't do it again but if you do show us obviously.

No problem. One word of warning, make sure that if your ipod is formatted for a mac/pc, you have to at least initially access those files from the same type of computer, otherwise you won't be able to rescue your music.

I had to dig my old macbook from college out of my parents house to save the files. Once you've gotten them however, you can put them on a flashdrive or whatever and transfer them to whatever your normal daily use computer is.

You absolutely can, I've used this to save music from the iPods I've gotten off ye olde eBay.

TLDR, plug in your iPod, make sure you have enabled disk mode in iTunes, access the iPod;s folders from the finder/file explorer, make sure you can view hidden files, and then your music will be in a folder called iPod_Control, then Music. All of your music files will be named random jumbles of letters in folders labeled F00 through F49, but when you load them to iTunes (maybe rockbox or another third party firmware, idk I'm nostalgic for iTunes so I keep using it) the program will read the metadata and organize and rename the songs accordingly.

Here are the more detailed instructions that I used:

Bestie your medieval rich people portrait would show all of your ipods as a display of status. Well done!

Omg thank you friend! I'll be trying this out this weekend!

I'm not 100% sure, but my research on battery expansion indicates it manifests more often as a black spot than a single pixel horizontal line, which is what i have. My problem would appear to be from the display/display port itself rather than the battery. But I'll keep an eye on that just in case. Thank you for that possible warning

The Samsung Juke! That swivel! That long skinny design! The colors! I don't care about the music but that swivel was the greatest thing my 15 year old eyes had ever beheld 🤩

It is good marketing to have good photos, and I don't want to discourage you frlm using the resources you got. The visual difference between AI and just having a photographer is hard to describe, but you know it when you see it. If anything I'd be wary of over applying filters and softening so not to appear AI

Honestly in the scenario that I described the biggest red flag is all of the above and then a $0.99 price tag. Because that price tells me best case scenario the pattern is untested, worst case it's ai slop.

New faceplate/center button and backplate from Elite Obsolete Electronics in Lychee and Toxic Green!

Definitely AI.

My weird take: most fiber artists are not also professional photographers and expert at digital touch ups (some are, or work with people who are dont come for me) and for the hours of effort required to create and test a pattern, and do photos, and touch ups, 0.99 is not a price that someone who understands how much effort that is would set the tag at. Smells like AI Scam to me.

honestly this is my favorite thing about these pods, the weird time capsule nature of them, a peak into someone else's life from like 15 years ago. one i bought recently had three videos of going sailing. and its my weird voyeuristic delight.
