Enjoying music, old school style.

Enjoying music, old school style. The DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) in these old iPods still do a better job than most Bluetooth codecs and headphone combinations, in my opinion. The combination of an iPod 6th gen and the AKG K92 is just perfect for my ears.

@jwildeboer awww that's amazing Jan!

I just wiped my old iPhone 6 (which has a regular audio jack) and put my entire music library on it... to use as an iPod.

I just figured out I could still add my own tracks to Apple Music even if they've been ensh*tt*fying for a few years, pushing subscriptions.

I miss the physical buttons of my old iPod though. I may purchase an old iPod as my Xmas present to myself 😅

@_elena You have given me an idea! (I prefer that audio port on the 6) Did you just return to factory settings? Or something more?

@mmb yes I did! I actually forced a restore because I had forgotten the password 🫠 so it was basically wiped, freeing up 60+ GB for my music collection (it has 64GB capacity).

It’s so nice and lightweight… I basically turned it into an iPod Touch 🤗
