The Verge:

As for me, the moment I plugged my headphones into my freshly charged iPod and listened to music that had lain dormant for the past 16 years, it was like being transported back in time. Nothing had changed. The music sounded as good as it did back then. Some tracks even sounded better on my old iPod than they do on my Google Pixel 2 XL. My iPod may be scratched and dented but it still looks cool as hell and is a joy to use, even if it is just for a short while before its ancient battery gives out. And at least it has a headphone jack.

I lost my personal iPod a few years back. Summer 2010? 2011?

All I know is I was in Connecticut for a Super Art Fight event at Connecticon.

Don’t know if I just absent mindedly lost it, if it was stolen, or some combination thereof, but I’d love to run into it again to have an experience just like this.
