So after years of accumulating iPod players and now that my kids are old enough to start appreciating music I am debating which player to keep for my personal use and which to give to them. Started digging for all my old players and to be honest forgot I had some of these around. Currently have an iPhone 4 but would like to use one of my older players as a dedicated portable player. Will be using it with the E17 I have on pre-order. So having the E17 connected to my iPhone is not that appealing to me. I have been reading all the stuff on which version and year has the best audio chip (Wolfson) etc.....
- have my first iPod that needs a new battery but its a 3G 15GB. Thinking about getting a new battery, CF mod and rockbox
- Green iPod mini 4GB. Thinking about doing the CF mod and rockbox
- first gen iPod touch 16GB
- iPhone 3G 16GB
- just sent in my first gen nano for the newer replacement due to recall. Will be dedicated to gym use.
- current version of iPod Shuffle
According to machintoshhowto.com the 5th and 4th gen iPods rank the top 2 followed by the 1st gen nano (which unfortunately I don't have anymore)
Anyway I am trying to figure out how to get the best use out of what I have.
I will always have a special connection to my 3rd gen iPod so I am leaning towards doing the CF mod and rockboxing it and giving my 9 year old daughter my iPhone 3G and my 6 year old son my 1st gen touch. My daughter's currently using the iPod mini and my son is using the shuffle.
What would you do…….?
