Thought I'd see if there were any likeminded individuals around.
This is three of my small collection that I have with me at work. The 4G Classic (left) is modded with 64gb, the Mini is 128gb, and the 7G Classic is currently in need of storage and battery. My plan for that one is to give it 512gb and as big a battery as I can squeeze in there.
Proud owner of both an iPod classic and an iPod Shuffle! I use both on the daily in order to avoid being on my phone too much.
I love the Classics.
I also have a black 5th gen that still has the stock 30gb hard drive and original battery. But that's at home, so didn't make it into my photo. I use that one for my chilled out bedtime playlist to fall asleep to. At some point it'll be getting a flashmod, but I want to do the 7th gen first.
