A friend of mine recommended me to "revive" my ipod classic, dead since 2013.... IMO, the parts make it almost as expensive as a new one... HDD, rear panel and new Li-ion battery
I bought it to be "cool" and please the apple-bullies at university.. but I my opinion SQ-Wise Ipod SUCKS, sound is Meh!, lifeless, boring, its not musical at all. I owned walkmans before ipod and i know sony walkmans kill ipod in terms of SQ.
Anyways ipod classic is dead now, and who needs to mourn that thing, now sony Walkman A17 has 64GB... pair it with a 128GB microSDXC and you've got 192GB. 32GB more than ipod classic
I will wait for sony to restock it...
