I did this last summer with my iPod classic. Fun writeup, great way to revive old tech and reclaim media ownership. If you have the iPod already, it's a great afternoon project and…

This is entirely on the author. Sure these vendors make awful products and poorly maintain them - but nobody is forcing anyone to buy them or integrate them into their house. I hav…
