Is that a headphone jack!?
I like headphone jacks.
This needs an interrobang‽
You can tell whether I’m posting from my phone or my desktop by whether I use a
‽
or a?!
.(This one was from my desktop despite the interrobang, but that’s because I could easily copy-paste yours.)
Not that easily. I could read theirs, but yours was a box
Huh, weird. Does it work without the code formatting‽
Yes
I’m here with a usb c to 1/8" jack like a moron! The EU pushed replaceable batteries, maybe we need a headphone jack bill haha.
I LOVE the idea. I’m slowly mutating into a wired earbud audiophile (not sure what they call themselves), and the sound is just so much cleaner; plus there’s nothing to charge.
4 hours of music on these ones!
Mine just plug in.
my headphones have 24 hour battery life, so honestly im fine with my next phone not having a headphone jack, i do wish most still had one though
Paradoxically, all cheap devices come with one, and even with an FM radio, so cheap devices actually have more stuff than high end smartphone. Also please give me an FM radio FFS, it is one of the most usueful services during emergencies and other situation, also I like listening radio thanks
Probably because most FM stations have apps.
Back in the dumb phone era I had some Ericson TDMA bar phone that had (very basic) web browsing and a combination FM radio/Headset adapter. I specifically remember reading live 9/11 updates on it during class.
i bought a “new” phone just because i was sick of using the shitty ass headphone jack adapters
so now i have 1 phone for music and the other for games 😂
One day I will upgrade my Zune 2nd gen into a modern device, like this. I can only hope the software keeps working for syncing, at least until someone writes a custom OS for it.
What’s that little black thing that kinda looks like a tiny antenna in the top right corner, right next to the battery indicator/percentage?
💀
I know the angle is a bit weird, but that is a wired headphone/earbud cable. The cable just has a 90 degree bend at the end.
Let me tell you son. Back in the day, headphones used to have a wire
I thought it was an bt transmitter before I saw the cable in the bottom of the shot. A lot smaller then the fm transmitter I have.
I thought it was copper. 🤔
How did you get an SSD on it? 30 day battery is really impressive
Dude thats so cool! Thanks for sharing!
Are you preparing for a zombie apocalypse?
Anyway, this is the coolest shit I have ever seen today, and maybe the best one here on Lemmy!
If I was I’d be playing the theme song from 28 Days Later in the picture ☺️. Thank you!

Edit: Ah yes, F♯ A♯ ∞, a classic!
“post rock”? And it’s bagpipes? Hmm interesting
Edit: okay it got better after a couple minutes, nice
Always cool to see ‘retro’ tech brought back, especially with major overhauls. Kinda wish Apple still did dedicated ‘dumb’ MP3 players, if I’m being honest.
Bet you could manage with a microcontroller and some parts. Use a bare chip, solder it all fancy (might take a few tries, use something cheap, order in bulk, attach the big expensive drive last), print the case, etc. Bet there’s even a guide out there somewhere.
Yeah it’s nice to have the built in OS support though
Yeah that’d be nice, but, lost technology; no longer exists.
Build it yourself or get nothing.
How much to make one for me?
I’m actually thinking of starting up making things like this if people would buy them. How much would you be willing to pay?
Now do my boy, Zune ❤️
Yo…I still have two HDs that work… they’re amazing
Man, the Zune was the best MP3 player experience in its day… They even had the OG music subscription service. For $15 bucks a month and then they let you keep $15 of music forever. So it was a no brainier if you’d buy an album a month anyway.
Bring back transparent shells, I want to see that sexy technology god damn it!
Check out the company Nothing. They make products like the Nothing Phone with transparent designs
Fairphone 5 also has a translucent back option.
Shoulda used clear purple for that real nostalga hit.
But awesome work
I would like to buy an ipod and mod it but it would cost too much.
Yeah but is it still locked to iTunes? Cause fuck that noise if it is.
Otherwise… I’ll take 3
Edit: looks like it is… damn
I got my 2 Gen Nano in 2008 and ditched iTunes after day one, EphPod worked just fine.
If you like this aesthetic, perhaps check out the Tangara on Crowd Supply. https://www.crowdsupply.com/cool-tech-zone/tangara
It’s fully open-source, too, so anyone can contribute to making improvements and a company can never discontinue it.
It’s a quick Google search for an alternative software that is pretty user-friendly and independent of Apple.
Also I suggest replacing the Hard drive with a card that lets you put in SD cards.
Back in the day, I used to rock iPod Linux. Looks like it’s still about http://www.ipodlinux.org/
There was also rockbox that let you play flac on iPod. https://www.rockbox.org/
Or less exteme, I’m sure that foobar2000 had plugins for managing your iPod.
I ‘member putting a movie on a tiny little Nano. And Doom.
Girlsnerds loved it. Simpler times.Both made possible by Linux IIRC!
Rockbox is the GOAT
So cool! Thanks for sharing
I would pay a decent amount of money for this.
https://player-mods.com/ well you’re in luck cause you can buy them
Dam they cost more Modded than New 10 years later.
