I love coming back to the iPod. It’s great having almost all of my music on one device that only does one thing: playing music.

My listening habits are much better when I listen to downloaded music than when streaming. On streaming services I tend to listen to lots of lists and I end listening to the same songs for long periods of time. On my computer and the iPod I usually listen to full albums, in order. It’s a different experience. I listen to the songs as the artist intended when publishing the album.

It’s an iPod gen 7 with the the HD replaced by a 128gb microSD. The firmware is the holy rockbox.

    I love my iPods enormously, to the point that, while I have an Apple Music sub, most of my proper listening is done via one of these three little beauties.
