I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well (www.spacebar.news)

My wife still blames me for advising her to buy this instead of an ipod. It wasn't as easy to use inho. It was drag and drop in file management and didn't require software, but.... ok?

I've used both, and highly prefer this over any of the ipods of the generation. This is partly because of the drag and drop, but mostly because it didn't gaf whether the mp3 came from itunes or ripped with Audio Grabber. Ipods all cared, and I had to trick them into playing Audio Grabber files by encoding them to m4a. Absolutely bonkers.
