I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I never stopped using my iPod Nano 6G. Instead of switching to streaming, I continued to grow my collection of music from purchasing or renting and ripping CDs. I still have yet to listen to every song in my library (although everything fits on my iPod after compressing), so it is hard to justify paying for streaming
For me the reason I like to use streaming services is as a way to find new music that I otherwise would never be exposed to.
As an alternative, I suggest ListenBrainz. It is like last.fm, where you install a "scrobbler" to monitor your listening, and then it provides platform-agnostic recommendations.
