[Is it PotG?]

Discontinued after 20 years.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Commiserations. I love my old ipod, still going strong.

Yuppie bollocks.

MP3 player is all you need.

Loud “Boooooh”

Don’t use mine anymore as my music is all on my yuppie Iphone (can an old codger be a yuppie?)

For a Swede, you know a lot of colloquialisms.

Yeah thats what happens, I guess. I met some English girl (from "Devon" or something like that, she was a Plymouth supporter) at the pub this Saturday and she was convinced I had lived in England for at least a few years.

Isn’t the Swedish translation of yuppie, err yuppie?

 

[METALMICKY]

Still use my 4th generation iPod nano all the time

 

[The Oldman]

Being an old geezer I use mine all the time. It’s got all my favourites from the 40’s and 50’ on so it will not be turned off here.

Just about to sell my 2 120gb 7th generation iPods.. hopefully mean they might be worth a few quid more??

Not used them in a couple of years since Spotify and i phones took over.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I have four of them, and more than 17,000 items (some 2+ hours long) saved on four hard drives. The Misery Hour, anyone?

Tried streaming recently and all my latest 'witch house' and 'wave' bollocks is available so I suspect I'm in old man territory. But I love random play and you can't do that by streaming can you? Bowie to Hunters and Collectors, to Existemy, to Fraunhofer Diffraction, to King Sunny Ade, to Gene Loves Jezebel, to Caravan, to Japan? Nah! iPOD forever.

They were going for £400 a few years ago. On Amazon today for £280 (albeit 160 gb 'refurbished'). On eBAY for £100.

You lost me after Bowie

You need to stay in more

Discontinued after 20 years.

Sales have been syncing for years.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

My iPod is brilliant. Spends it's days in a Bose Speakers and charging dock. Ready to go any time.

 

[Brovion]

Blimey, just shows how retro we are in our house - neither my wife or I have ever owned an iPod; we still use CDs and and my wife still plays the occasional cassette. We talked about getting one, but it didn't seem worth it. We also still have a functioning VHS player, next you'll be telling me they don't make those any more ...

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Yup, got three for different rooms and car. Just bought one for £150 256gbs or something like that....but it can take all my beautiful music IMHO

 

[boik]

Used an mp3 player for years on my commute but never an ipod as it seemed tied to iTunes which is the spawn of the devil.
