ive never had an ipod, i never will have an ipod, but this humor and voice keeps me addicted!
sameee
ay ye drunk scott man get ya self a ipod m8 it sounds good 👌
I had an ipod nano touch because I had tiny child hands because I wanted it to look cool cuz I thought it was the same as the iphone or ipod touch but was let down doo much, now I despise apple products
I have 1 iPod Shuffle 3 (Pink) and iPod Touch 4th gen.
But I don't use them often.
Zachary Tribou well that’s just stupid why didn’t you just just research Apple iPod nano, you shouldn’t despise them just because you thought that you should buy one before doing any research or even looking at the images
this is a rare gem of youtube has the comedy the info without seeming to try too hard to be funny
Yea right? I imagine him talking like this in private aswell.
And he just made me buy a mini.
Jesus.
i bought an ipod because of you. its all your fault.
Your "fault" :D
He's raising up the value of iPods lmao.
Yeah this ipod will get a lot more expensive i feel
I have a shuffle
I did too and I found out that the one I already have isn't actually broken just one of my songs is corrupt so now I have 2 working ones
I 100% thought that iPad was completely dead...
I did remember seeing him use it on one video, but at one point it started to look like that was all an illusion
He used it in the wireless charging video
He uses it in every video

Same here, I thought it was a prop since it’s Apple related, but happily pleased to find out that I was wrong.
This video singlehandedly made me buy not one, but TWO iPod minis.
This is what quarantine does to me.
Yeeeep
I have no interest in old iPods but I might look at some of those really cheap garbage MP3 players just for fun.
Bought myself several iPod Nano from Gen 1 to Gen 4, iPod Classic Gen 4, 5 and 7 just because of DankPods’ videos. The addiction matee
@@plzdonhack I'm getting my hands on a second gen mini and I'm looking into getting a refurbished 5.5 classic from someone off reddit. Hoping I can get it turned into a bee too.
@@EpicB That’s pretty cool! Well, I’ve heard nothing but good experiences with the 5.5Gen, I have even fixed one for someone else myself. My 4th gen and 5th Gen Classics are allegedly dead so lets see if firewire jump start would work on them. Got em both for 30 usd

Great video, I just bought a second gen Mini! Tip: Sometimes online when you are looking for a Mini, the photos are too low resolution to read the year it was made. If it has the capacity written on the back, it's a second gen. If it's not written on the back, it's a first gen. The capacity is much easier to see, so even in a low resolution photo you can tell if it has the capacity written or not.

@@logancook5261 Yeah I got one with a new battery for $30. Probably worth getting one now because I doubt they’ll get any cheaper lol
Well where I live prices for minis have never gone under the 150 range for a few months
I watched this video and the next day I found a blue 2nd gen mini in the recycling at my job. I can't wait to use iFlash on it and add a new battery. :)
iFlash? Just get a CF-to-SD adapter or a big compact flash
the thing is that those adapters aren't as reliable with iPods as the iFlash ones

Glad to know I’m not the only one in that fan club, I actually sent Bosnianbill a lock that he hadn’t seen before and he he sent me back a few locks and some picks
@@theteenageengineer holy shit, thats so awesome! musta had more fun in lockdown than i did^^
Xcizior dude it’s so easy to make your own picks, as a locksmith apprentice I am a master at it, all you need is a bench grinder and windshield wipers, remove the blade of the windshield wiper and pull out the metal on the inside works every time another thing I use, is if you go to Harbor Freight, pick up a feeler gauge set it’s like $4 and take the set apart and draw your pick design on there and grind it down boom you have some picks, if you want to talk more about it here is my Instagram @kai52542004 then we can talk more through there.
Glad to know I’m not the only one who watches the lock picking lawyer
I have Spotify on my phone. But these videos really want to make me crank out my iPod Classic, redownload the music tracks from iTune's wonky app and just... Re-live the 2000's and constantly buying 0.99c songs
I'm so glad I found your channel. Because of your channel, I now have a pink ipod mini with basically every song I know of and then some, and it still has about 100 GB left for future music. It's such a good daily driver for music
The iPod Mini 2G is literally the greatest iPod ever. Small, light, and they used the incredible IBM Microdrive which at the time implied Apple MIGHT have been making them AT A LOSS. Rumors suggested photographers were picking them up on sale to get the 4GB Microdrives cheaper than they were sold individually.
Also, the drive adapter pops off the board too, so just pull it off (gently) rather than trying to do what you did of wiggling the Microdrive out.
More than likely they got a deal with IBM, who early in the computer scene had a virtual monopoly on those sorts of bits and bobs because of patenting and shit
Last time I was this early, the iPods he ordered weren't here yet

Last month I found a first gen. iPod nano in my dad’s drawer with a note saying : Merry Christmas !
I never would have thought it was that simple. A month after watching I found a broken one and was able to diagnose it without help because of this video. Thanks!
Thanks for the vids! With your help I pulled a Lazarus on my 2004 4th gen monochrome LCD. Popped in a new battery and an iFlash double SD card mod kit with 256 GB card and it works great with 236 Gb actual capacity. Loads of space for tunes and great battery life. Love it!

I love my Mini. Sounds great and feels the best to hold out of all of my iPods. Something about that round casing, it just feels like it was made to be held.
Legitimately my favorite channel on TH-cam.
This may sound weird but secret weapon for getting them open for me is to use feeler gauges it doesnt scratch it bend it and you can open them in like 2 minutes
So when's the "DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW"-cup going up in your shop?
This has inspired me to get a mini and mod it, the amount of people on ebay claiming theirs is a 2nd gen and they're 1st is incredible so thanks for pointing out the difference!
You can actually put 256 in a 4th gen Classic too! That's what's in mine.
I have also put 128 in a 3rd gen.
Yeh I've seen 128gb 3rd gen. 3rd gen all the wayy baby, my favourite by far
1:01 It looks like Shrek appears in this video. Beautiful wallpaper.

You can tell that dank was so happy to open the “second gen”... genuinely wholesome
I’ll definitely give the mini a consideration! I just got a 4th Gen and I plan to modify it with a CF card adapter. It isn’t the same fancy kind of adapter sold by iFlash, but maybe someday if I get a nicer iPod I’ll get an iFlash board. For now though, if this mod works I’ll have an iPod to use in my car as a dedicated music hub.
One of the best channels on TH-cam.
Keep up the amazing work mate!

I use a set of sanding pads called "Micro Mesh" and followup with Plastex. Wet sand with all 12 pads in order, hit it with some plastex, and it looks alright.
DankPods Thank you! 🤟
DankPods By the way, I have never heard of these iPod Classics before, I saw a video what was made by you. I’ve ordered a used 6th Gen. for daily use, and now it is my favorite device. Thank you for making these videos for us! ✌️
Been watching this channel since 100 subscribers, and seeing this channel go from tiny to 100k+ has been great - keep it up
You’ve inspired me to buy an iPod mini to flash mod it, I’d love to collect all of the generation iPods to just own and mod.
I love watching your vids man.
Keep it up 🤘🏻
hello i just purchased a iPod Mini 2nd gen and i did a battery replacement and the flash mod. I knew that there was the risk of knocking off the C18 capacitor and not having the click wheel not functioning properly. I knocked it off and with the original drive the forward and backward buttons for skipping tracks didn't work. To me it was something I was okay with and was going to live with. But when i got the SD card with its adapter it didn't work but them i restored it and it suddenly worked again. I don't no what happened but i have a fully functional iPod now. Thank you for the video to and it was a fun project.
I love your videos, your voice is so relaxing I can fall asleep to all of them.
*yelling at ipods continues* - sleep
you wake up at 5 am and you this is what you hear. "GIER! GIER! GIER!"
BradQuality I’d accept my destiny
i really do not know if you are being sarcastic or you serious
Just strap 'bout 4 junk-quality ipods together and put different songs in 'em.
Sure, it will be freaking thicc but it's gonna be the easiest way.
Thank you so much for this video! I've purchased a good used mini 2. gen, replaced the battery and exchanged the micro drive with a 64 gb micro SD card.
Omg I have one of those old ipods with die battery, now I'm convinced I'll fix it and make it better
Dammit Dank I've just bought one of these nuggets off eBay cos of you, cant wait to mod it!
I remember getting one of these for christmas when i was 7 years old and playing those mini games for hours man these minis bring back so many memories
I just got a Mini recently and man, this thing is real tiny. It however had a little bit problem with the hold switch, fixed that by putting some isopropyl alcohol on the switch, move it back and forth and it worked
Me: Wow, this would be really cool to be my first electronics mod and to have a dedicated music player
Me: *goes on ebay to find they're now like 30 bucks each for a meh condition one*
Me: *looks at video date and realises this video probably made the prices go up*

I compromised and got a first gen mini. I just hope i can at least give the ipod 100gb

I’m already seeing eBay listings for these in aus getting bought just after the listing of this video 😂
Also that montage of the bluetooth iPod’s life killed me 🤣🤣🤣
High Tech With Grumpo me too 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, the Minis are probably my favorite. Best compromise between the Nano and the full-size bois with none of the drawbacks, like the Nanos battery/screen issues over time. When you consider the modding potential, it's amazing how cheap they are to find. Maybe I'm biased because my first iPod back in ye olden days was a first gen puke green Mini.
I actually got a 1st gen blue Pod mini with a dead hdd for free and I thanks to your video I opened it myself and I put a 64gb cf card, now it's my daily MP3 player with almost 3000 songs on it! I love these old minis and I even got a compliment from another iPod fan in public! I also have a silver 2nd gen but it has the go 4bg hard drive (maybe upgrading it at some point)! thanks to your awesome channel there's now an iPod mini that lives again!

I think a second channel called dankbricks where you review lego from 2010 2009 ect would be a good idea
"These are so hard to open"
Me: "Just use the 1 grit"!
Wow you solved my problem. I've been wondering what to do with my old iPad 2nd gen. Now I know to use it as a work platform
I still have the first family ipod. A 3rd gen ipod nano. From 2009. Bought a leather griffin case that's been with the ipod ever since.
9:20 you can also tell them apart by looking if the storage is engraved (only on the 2nd Gen)
I bought one of these at Goodwill years ago. Its a 2nd Gen Mini, but the HP version. Unfortunately the screen is starting to go out, but the rest of it is in great shape. I think it was a good buy for $20 in 2014.
There is always a way around the limit: convert some tracks to complete album tracks, like m4a audiobooks, which then counts as just a single song!
I'm actually here because of the ShrekPod Pro. Needs more technology gravel.
2:58 you forgot to blur that song 😂

I just modded my 3rd gen classic with the iFlash Solo with 128GB with seemingly no issues (so far). Wouldnt be here without your vids. The monochromes are for sure more visible but man, theres just something so polished, so clean with the color displays. I remember seeing and holding my brothers first gen Na-no. Hard to argue with the classic Macintosh Chicago font though.
You got me back into iPods and repairing them in the past few years. I use my mini at work so I’m not bothered by notifications and so I don’t drain my phone throughout the day. With ssd storage and a new battery, my mini will last me all week.
Got myself a metal 6th gen with a busted HDD as I wanted one of them schmexy new ones to contrast my older iPods. Gonna need some blades to get into it, lord have mercy
Update: I was blessed and with some hard work the exacto method worked, and it actually proved to be not toooooo bad (depending on your definition of pain)
Just remember 128gb max on a 6g
@@DankPods I'd settle for 1Gb frankly if it made the thing easier to crack, not sure if you've ever tried sacrificing storage to the iGods but will let you know how it goes
I have the same model. I want to get rid of it.
I really want something like this so thank you
You reminded me of my old blue iPod mini from ages ago. I dropped it one day and left it to rot and now I really want to find it to bring it back to life. iPods were my jam back in the days.
This channel has legit made me buy a 7th gen classic. But I have been having trouble downloading songs on it. Would love a vid on that. I love you dank.
He is almost convincing me to buy an iPod
Fuckin same
Join us on the dark side... we have matching jackets.
Personally I prefer the aluminium of the 7th gen
The U2 ones are cool too, with the black back and the red on the front, or the gold. It's damn slick looking.

I have never had anything from apple but man I am starting to like old school ipods a lot. They seem like a cool project and just appeal to me more than a modern music player. Thanks to you I might eventually get one.
I have one of these as my dialy music players I’ve had it for about 7 years!
Hi Dankpods,
After watching your channel I thought I'd do it myself. I took a risk and modded my 30gb 5.5gen ipod and put 448gb in it (which for some reason is 416gb in apple maths) . My library is only 18,200 tracks but 13,500 of them are large ALAC files from my CD collection so that's about 350gb, the rest are mp3s but everything has artwork. My ipod could cope with all 350gb of my alac files but started having trouble with all the mp3s as well and it didn't like showing album artwork unless it was rebooted after syncing. It maxed out at around 17,000 tracks with a few issues.
So I wondered if I could make it all work perfectly.
Luckily I managed to find a cheap 80gb 5.5gen, I took the back cover and front cover off my 30gb (I thought I'd use my front cover as I know where that's been), got a new battery and combined it all together. So now I have a monster slimline 448gb 5.5gen ipod that works like a dream, it'll even play the few old music videos I have and it has 30gb of space left over.
And yes it shuffles.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I have owned a blue 2nd gen ipod mini for as long as I can remember, thanks to you I pulled it out and listened to the only thing I have on it, one direction. maybe i'll mod it to hold good music.
I hooked up my flash drive (32GB) 2nd gen mini to my 2009 Ford Flex Limited through the dock to USB port last week for the first time, and it synced up and showed the name of the song and artist and FF/REW/Pause/play/volume all worked through the car including voice command.
Well, you know what's living in the Flex from now on.
I’m making steps to find a cheap one from eBay because of you. Good thing I have a bunch of compact flash cards in 16gb with me
It was you, 8-Bit Guy and Luke Miani who reignited my love for Apple. Thanks bro.
We have finally seen the green iPad being used! The prophecy was true!

I had gone down the same rabbit hole years ago. Broken iPod minis, then ipod videos, then classics. Then the specific CF cards and then Tarkan flash adapters...
Do you know the storage limit to put into a first gen iPod mini?
I owned a 5.5 gen iPod, but the screen died and I gave it to a friend like 10+ years ago. The last MP3 player I used was my Zune HD. At the end, I was just using it for podcasts, which I started doing on my phone so I stopped carrying the Zune. That was 5+ years ago. Then a friend introduced me to your channel for headphones, I found this and the other iPod videos and... ended up going to Ebay, buying a set of busted iPod Minis (which they sadly aren't giving away anymore), a new battery, the iFlash SD to CF adapter, and a new microSD card. I am now the proud owner of a 256GB iPod mini loaded with all my music in lossless and I still have 90GB left over. So I said all that to say... Thanks for inspiring me to do a quick, easy DIY and be able to enjoy the results.
