So after probably a decade, maybe some change, and some issues in the last few weeks involving the power button that I was getting concerned about, I synced my iPod up to my laptop only to find that it no longer recognized *checks notes* music.

Like, all mp4 AND mp3 files.

iTunes only claims 100 issue files but the iPod clearly has nothing on it, and those issue files include iTunes purchases, music burned off CDs, and downloaded elsewhere just from the ones I could find.

I may be able to fix this (I've just tried reverting it to factory settings - because, well, why the fuck not,) but given I suspect the problems are at least in part mechanical... yeah, I'm gonna be looking into a new mp3 player.

The good news is I started burning my iTunes purchases into mp3s last year for whenever Apple decides to stop supporting it and move to exclusively subscriptions because hahahaha no. So, y'know, THAT hard part's done, I've just got to set up all my playlists again.

Which will be.

A process.

#... yes I still own an iPod.#A Nano 7th generation it looks like which checks out on when I got it #so... yeah eleven years old? that sounds about right #incidentally I have my music broadly sorted into 'anime' 'showtunes' 'video games'#and essentially 'things that are not soundtracks'#the biggest folder by far is video games which doesn't surprise me THAT much but it's like. Three times bigger than the next biggest.#(which is probably showtunes; I usually buy full soundtracks for those)#'things that are not soundtracks' is by far the smallest.#so you know. just to give you some idea of my musical listening habits.
