iPod Revival

i recently rebooted my family's old iPod 4th Gen monochrome. the poor thing has only 4GB of memory. but it's packed with my parents' old songs.

they gave me permission to clear the playlists if i wish and add my own tracks.

i wanted to escape the algorithms, ads, AI and lack of media ownership that our modern apps and services (such as Spotify) bring. i feel like nowadays we don't own anything anymore.

anyone here also using older tech? :3 if so, pls say hi and share what you've been up to if u want! we need to bring back media ownership and get rid of subscriptions!
