Here's another question: Has anybody put 256gb micro sd cards in this bad boy? If so what confoolery was required to get them to work?

Excellent! This worked perfectly and does work on Windows 7; Here's a quick guide on how/what to do: First download the X10USBBurn Tool (Credits @Holypal): https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xz4xliem5mh7sq/X10USBBurnTool.zip?dl=0 Extract this and navigate to a folder that looks like this...

Care to detail? I just managed to brick mine, but I'm not sure how to proceed with the USBBurnTool to fix it. It does properly detect as the recovery device when I boot it in recovery mode so I should still be able to recover it.  Just browsing around trying to find a solution. Thanks in...

I used the Super talent DuraDrive ZT2 256gb. I had to initialize the drive via windows using a USB enclosure before the iPod video would take it, my iPod classic's boot loader sees it but it won't boot with it installed. And yes, its rockbox'd.

I've tried several cases thus far, and none seem to fit correctly, they are all either slightly too large or just barely too small to fit my 5th generation 30gb iPod video; I have modified it, and replaced the entire housing with a new one recently, modifications include a new battery & 256gb...

Okay, time to verify my theory. Can someone with an iPod 5.5g put their iPod into diagnostic mode, and tell me if it lists anything about SMART information? Or, alternatively can anyone with a working iPod classic with a SSD installed place their iPod into diagnostic mode and tell me if it...

Dang, I have two spare 6g iPod classic motherboards, and a 7g iPod classic but no iPod video parts. And unfortunately, I don't know of anyone around these parts with an iPod video that would be willing to let me tinker with it. I'm gonna try rockboxing it and see if I can get rockbox to boot...

I'm quite thoroughly frustrated at this point. I obtained two "non-functioning" 256gb Duradrive ZT2 drives. The drives wouldn't detect under Windows, however some investigation on Linux found a corrupted MBR. I secure erased both drives, and re-initialized them with a fresh MBR. I then installed...

My original intention was to have a detachable mic.   I was thinking about that, the mic I have has a TRS 2.5mm plug on it, so it is presumably stereo. In the case of using stereo audio and a stereo mic I would probably have to use two separate cables one for the mic, and one for the...

I have a pair of ATH-m50s (not the highest end cans, I know, which is actually why they are the target of this mod) Which I plan on modding for the purpose of switching out the cable. I also happen to have a boom mic from a broken Creative Fatal1ty headseat, and was hoping to turn my ATH-m50s...

I figured I should update this thread, DO NOT PURCHASE the SSD's linked here, they are regular ZIF hard drives and the ipod classic only supports CE-ZIF drives.   I think the 5th gen /5.5th gen ipod use regular zif (don't quote me on this) Here is a comparison shot of the two connectors...

Yes, there are several 1.8" ZIF interface SSD's utilizing MLC nand chips. There are also a lot of newer 1.8" SSD's being manufactured up to 256gb (rumored 500gb drives soon) using micro-sata, which are supposedly going to be in the new Macbook Air series. If you look on ebay you can easily find...

So heres the skinny, I have a recently rockboxed iPod classic 160gb that I am putting a 256gb SSD in (I got it cheap enough to justify it for me). The problem is I have had this iPod for a little over 5 years now, and its starting to show its age, the front bezel paint is starting to chip due to...

Okay, so I've had my m50's for a little over a year now, and I absolutely love them, but.. as you can all imagine, its a bittersweet relationship, I want more. Primarily I listen to trance, and electronica; however I also like to dabble into various other genres (Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B, classical...

Okay, so I'm kinda new to this Audiophile thing (see: first post lol) But I'd really like to get into it, so for starters I managed to pick up a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50's (for less than $100 new! O_O) At any rate, I also got a crappy amp to hold me over until a future paycheck. A while...
