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

The clickwheel ribbon cable on my iPod mini broke a couple of weeks ago, so at the weekend a friend of me very kindly donated his own mini to me, so I'm back on my iPod bullshit.

iPod gang rise up.

Oh, and if you're using Linux, or don't want the hassle of installing iTunes, TunesReloaded seems to be a genuinely great tool.

I really should get around to refurbing the 5th and 7th gen Classics I have too. They're more versatile than the mini. But the mini is by far and away the easiest to flashmod.
