Just an appreciation post for hard drives that survive apocalypsis events.
I checked out that song because it might have been something fun weird.
Your taste in music is as good as your taste in technology.

I have the 5.5g 30GB. I'm having a tough decision whether or not I should upgrade to an SD card reader - yes I get more storage and battery life, but the feedback of a spinning hard drive inside has a charm to it
Imo, use it until it breaks. The listening to the spinning disc argument got eaten by a faster ssd on another classic that I have, plus having my whole library in it, so I rarely sync new music. I tended to do so too often in the past and I screwed a Ssd by corrupting it somehow. The lesson, better leave things untouched as they work!
I keep music in FLACs though and I chew through storage like crazy. SD cards aren't super expensive so that's not an issue for me
I was also doing that but after a while, I realised that with some good headphone (I use bose 700) the quality is very similar. I dig a little on the internet and some sound experts made a coparision with 320mps and the result was pretty similar. I switched my whole library to that format keeping the really old albums (mostly really old jazz and blues) of flac. I'm not sure if it's true that the difference is imperceptible, but now I have a ton more space.
flacs on an iPod? you can do that?
"Going strong" sounds nice, no battery life issues? My old devices don't work for more than a few minutes.
In this case, I meant the original 120gb hard drive. That's the reason why I synced it and left it running with the apple OS. I had to upgrade the battery (bought some cheap ones via aliexpress) and now it works like a charm. The only issue was the first charge, it took the ipod a while to recognise the battery, so having a fire wire cable to feed it the first time should do the trick. Since then, this little grandpa is still rolling for more years, I hope!
Thanks for the tip, definitely an interesting weekend project!
