With streaming services such as Apple Music available, tech YouTuber emphasizes why listening to music on the original iPod now.
Need to move songs over an old Mac
Canoopsy, who runs a tech YouTube channel with 250,000 subscribers, owns the latest iPhone model and isn’t a hater or nostalgia for technology, but it was launched 20 years ago. It seems that he still uses the original iPod. What’s so good about seemingly outdated devices?
Canoopsy, who had left the device for ornamental use since he bought the first iPod for a second hand about 10 years ago, said he recently replaced the battery. The replacement process is very easy, and thanks to the latest battery technology, it lasts longer than the original.
Older devices are cumbersome, not only with a dead battery, but also with different connection methods. The original iPod has a FireWire connection, but since it does not fit in the current Mac, I purchased the PowerBook G4 (released in 2001), transferred the songs downloaded on the latest Mac to the PowerBook via USB, and used iTunes with the original iPod and songs. It seems that it is necessary to synchronize.
Why do you use the original iPod even with such a difficult feeling?
According to Canoopsy, the first iPod is different from other iPods in terms of texture. “Holding a classic iPod gives you an indescribable special feeling. It’s sensuously wonderful,” he said.
In addition, Canoopsy argues that the original iPod can be positioned in the trend of re-recognizing music as an aesthetic experience, such as the recent popularity of records and the rekindling of wire earphone heat such as EarPods. .. After all, it is said that using it will make your life richer.
