I wonder why in every movie about Steve Jobs, he is somehow "inventing" the mp3 player / iPod as a better alternative to the walkman, only to find ourselves in 2025 wanting to buy a walkman and not even knowing what iPod is?

Same for vinyls and CDs btw. Maybe music is more than just a fancy animation of album arts.

Believe it or not the iPod community is alive and well! There are plenty of people buying them, replacing the battery and hard drive, performing some cosmetic mods, and daily driving them (me included)

It's popular enough that if you look on eBay, the price of an old iPod has become majorly inflated
