i do miss the heft (the iPod feels much hollower and lighter now) and the feeling of the drive spinning and seeking though

i might look out for another hard drive iPod some day

Show thread

and somehow, the drive actually gasped back to life while i had it open (iPod trepanation?), long enough for me to back up all 1536 songs in it onto the new card!

Show thread

serendipitously, i bought the wrong adapter for something i needed years and years ago, and it so happened to be the one necessary to install CF cards in this model of iPod

and, from another project, i had a 64gb CF card that didn't work as a hard drive replacement for a Q1 Ultra

so, by sheer luck, the same day the hard drive in my iPod died, i had all the parts to replace it
