I found an old 2004 Clickwheel iPod in my drawer. Suggest things I can do with it?

Does it still work? I recently found one of the same and got it working with a super secret “fix” i found in a thread online (banging the top right corner on my desk 3 times). Now I am just using it as a portable hard drive and an ipod, but I’m curious to see what people come up with on here…

I am still using my “old 2004 ipod clickwheel” as my primary mp3 player… still works great!

Yeah it works just fine! Yeah, I might use it as a HDD or something. Or maybe dismantle it and make some kind of crazy bottle MP3 player (with some old speakers). Anything to avoid revision!

@suejester Oh yeah, there is definitely something awesome about them.

If you come up with anything creative, please let me know, so when mine dies or someone gives me a new one I will have some ideas of how to recycle the little bugger…

I think throwing iPod Linux on it would reward you the most “fun”. Other than that, it makes for a great portable hard drive if you think its reliable enough.

Flash the iPod with RockBox! Opensource mp3 software for portables. A couple of my friends have done it and it’s pretty sweet!

Either use it or sell it on ebay or in your local news paper. There’s always a kid somewhere who maybe wants an ipod for their birthday but their parents can’t quite afford a new one. =]
