ipod classic 7th gen specifics - Page 8

Btw, did someone managed to change the internal 160GB HDD with an oversized SSD/flash memory?

Some P/Ns of the HDDs used are really welcome, in order to make a compatibility chart.

But not SSD by a lower/same/upper capacity... right? From what I've read until now on this forum, nobody has managed to replace the 160GB HDD with a flash memory or SSD...

Work your way through this thread. People have successfully installed 240GB SSDs in the 7G.

I've been using a 6th. 120 in my car for about 2-3 years and a 5th 60 for travel for longer, maybe 7-8 years.

All the time my iTunes library held between 7-8,000 songs in MP3 format.

I discovered H.F 4 months ago and all hell broke loose. LOL

Now I use a 6th, v2 160 for my portable rig and the 120 still in the car. I've re-ripped and have turned 2/3 of the MP3s in ALAC. Of course synced both 120 and 160.

All this background to ask this question:

I am noticing in all three; iTunes,120, and 160 iPods when in Shuffle mode, at lest 1/2 the time the selection of songs are repeating over and over again. Even sometimes after only 15 songs.

Is anyone else experiencing this phenomena ?

I think you are speaking about a regular HDD and not an SSD into an iPod 7G 160GB (2011-now). So far, I have read on that topic that people managed to put larger SSDs only on 5.5G iPod, but not on 7G.

Anyone can confirm and maybe to show me the reply where it was someone able to install an larger capacity SSD on iPod 7G?
