I still listen to my music using a 160 GB iPod Classic. Apple struck gold with that clickwheel. Carrying around a dedicated device for music just for that elegant one-thumb control I don't even have to look at to use is still totally worth it to me.
I could use it through my back jeans pocket. It was great!
In public would it just look like you're caressing your own ass?
Probably. Just quickly and more of a poke the cheek. I did have a headphone cord coming out of the pocket though, so maybe less suspect. this was around 2010 probably.
The click wheel also works through fabric. I miss changing songs and adjusting volume without removing it from my pocket.
I still keep mine in my car. Have you seen Dankpods mod them with terabyte micro SD kits? Stuff is amazing.
I did it to mine. It's fantastic.
If I could get Spotify and FLAC files on this then I'd be in heaven
Damn, it still can't play FLAC?
Mine can't. Don't know about the later models.
It's currently not working, but I'm going to replace the battery soon on my 80gb Zune. I fucking loved that thing back in high school. I want to make it my dedicated music device for my stereo set up, as a digital parallel to my turntable
I'm sorry you were bullied (I kid, I've had non ipod music players (still do), but I hope you didn't get beat up a lot for having a zune, thats not fair to you)
I know you were joking, but luckily my high school really wasn't too bad when it came to bullying. Like, there were the cliques that beefed, but there weren't any like, actual bullies. I think what helped was that all of the really big dudes (I was a "small" big dude, at 6'2" 200lbs) we're all nerds, and we protected the small nerds. We couldn't let anyone hurt any of our WoW guildees haha
