That’s an iPod. Apple’s dedicated music player, which they made obsolete with the release of the iPhone which could do what the iPod did but also make calls. The last iPod was the iPod Touch if I am not mistaken, which was basically an iPhone without the phone part.
Sorry, I probably could have specified it was a clone and saved you the down votes 😅. I only recognized it cause I was chatting with someone in another thread on this comm and they told me about it, and I noticed the icon on the top of the click wheel being difference from the iPod (I'm a ui nerd so I like really enjoy interfaces, hardware or software)
Downvotes don’t mean anything at the end of the day and I’m glad to learn something new. I didn’t know someone out there made music players in the form factor of an iPod after all.
Yes they do but they convert the format to the apple native one for HiRes files (ALAC or AAC). You just need a software that does the trick. Like WALTR PRO. highly recommended for FLAC on stock OS
I still own several and use them frequently. One is a Touch with a weak battery another Nano with meager storage. The best of the lot is an ancient classic iPod that I’ve upgraded the storage from a 32GB 1.8” spinny disk to a 256GB m2 SSD. Works quite well. It has led a rough life and is fugly, but I keep it in my car for tunes without issue. There are kits to get them to 1TB or more I think. Neat way to breathe new life into them.
very strange comment in a community with this in the sidebar: "A community dedicated to the growing trend of using devices for a singular purpose, rather than relying on (often digital) “do everything” devices, like a smartphone."
I was browsing via all and didn’t really notice the community. I thought someone was trying to identify a device and tried to provide information, but apparently it was a device that looked similar to the iPod instead of the iPod itself.
The iPod is something I still remember being sold everywhere back when I was still a kid, so it stuck in my memory.
You can install Rockbox on it to make it "better" (subjective I guess) or keep it stock and still use it.
One of the reasons I installed Rockbox on mine are for the themes. I can share a photo to those interested to see what it looks like. Links to everything below!
Innioasis Y1 (they've increased the price since I got mine, was $50 a few months ago)
Innioasis Y1 Updater (used to install the Rockbox firmware, or update the normal firmware. NOTE: You can use both the original firmware AND the Rockbox firmware for a "best of both worlds" scenario!)
Innioasis Y1 Rockbox Themes (I believe this is the git that I got all my themes from, but if it isn't I can provide the actual one later when I am home!)
Battery has been good for me, personally, with Rockbox and a sick ass theme (the Snowoasis Y1 DARK theme). I've got ~5000 songs on it, and it's only taken up ~45GB of space!
Yes, this is the right answer. Just a recommendation, when buying verify that the seller is a a validated one (there are a lot of clones online). Also, if possible, verify that it's a type A device. Mine is a type B that runs on an older firmware version,so I can't install atm rockbox. The stock firmware is ok, but rockbox is what truly will make this device a beast. Absolutely recommended. I own several modded classics and other ipods. The Y1 is a great affordable option that allows great customization. Go for it!
I'd also be interested in device details. I'm using an old Sony nwz a15. It does the job but it is slow as shit and I haven't even put my entire library on there so I'm looking at other options.

I think someone told me about those devices, can't remember what it's called- how do you like it? Love the yellow color, looks super pretty

Nope, it's a clone device, innioasis y1 I think. I don't think classic ipods supported flac.

No way that's on a canal in Venice.

This was the restaurant at the top of the Mont Blanc. No vehicle this time!

This one is mine. It's a little quirky but I love it anyways.

Limited bandwidth prevents me from seeing the picture. What player is it?

Ipod

A clone, could be an Innioasis
