Nice, I still like to use mp3 players, much better than a phone when you've got a big collection. I've got a Cowon D2 that just died some months ago that I got in 2008, it was a real tank. It could even be repaired, it just needs the power switch to be replaced.

Whereas my iPad from 2014 is virtually unusable because it’s obsolete and hardly any of the apps work :/

Reply to comment by FuzzyMcBitty in My wife was begging me to buy new boots today since my LL Bean Katahdins are like 13 years old so instead I bought some leather oil and new laces for the first time! by Morphabond
Depends how deep the scuffs are. You might have to sand it slightly and redye them.
But hiking boots aren't ment to look pretty.

Reply to comment by cmull123 in Added a monogram to my buffalo leather briefcase, purchased in 2014 from an Indian craftsman. The thicker, tougher leather not only lasts a lifetime with minimal maintenance, but gets more distinguished with wear by PatPetPitPotPut
Honest question and people downvote. lol Reddit is a funny place.

I genuinely can’t believe Apple iPod’s are almost ~20 years old and were that good, yet after all these years nobody else can make a portable music device to save their life… It’s a real shame they are discontinued. I’ve used a bunch of modern “DAPs” and they are ALL garbage unless you spend like 3 grand on a totl Sony model or Astell&Kern… They are bloated with gimmicky features, use outdated software, the interfaces are laggy and cumbersome to navigate, they have poor battery performance, zero customer service because they are all based out of China etc.

I have a 4th generation Nano that's orange. I bought it in 2010 from the university store when they were having a sale and after my previous Sony MP3 player died on me. I've dropped it (too many times) and it's still chugging along as my alarm clock music (plugged into an old iHome that still functions from 2010). My 7th generation Nano from 2016 is still going strong in my car, but I will admit, I miss the functionality of the wheel from the old Nano. Newer models moved to touch screen, which is fine, but I just miss the tactile feel and use of the wheel, lol.
I'm not an Apple fanatic, but I will admit that when both of these finally kick the bucket, I will be remiss to find something comparable. Every other MP3 player I've had (I don't use a smartphone for music) has only lasted max 3 years before kicking the bucket and I am hesitant to buy any of the knockoffs listed on Amazon these days.
Edit: Had derp moment; it's 4th not 4rd, lol.

I had a bunch and I will like to inform you Apple lost a giant class action lawsuit for fixing obsolescence to a ridiculous amount at least once.
Some generation of products are built like tanks but are annoying as heck in terma of compatibility, and others are a scam where they have less for more.
Source: owned 5 iPods, 2 iMac's and honestly, not sure if something else prior.
So, probably just someone who wasn't happy with the product.

That’s why you gotta spend five hundred hours a year compulsively updating the metadata and album artwork in your library.

> I’m not sure how old you are, but it sounds like you haven’t been around long.
Have you not been reading what you are commenting on? Old enough to have bought an iMac in 2009. Even if I bought it on my first day of kindergarten, I’d be at least 20 right?

The internal hard drive will die eventually; when that happens there are mods that use an SSD, so you won't have to throw it out :)
