Dankpods already retrofied, popularised, lead to the sellout of, then abandoned the ipods.

Also, if you bought one you are a fucking toolshed and brought about all the lack of ownership, and enshittification in the world today

did you see where your files went after you had itunes choose which scattered random folder it shoved them into?

It really wasn't a random folder, and it was pretty easy to locate.

yeah bullshit. I met a friend at university in '06 and I wanted to get into his music. he had an ipod, we hooked it up to my laptop. The files that belonged to the same album were thrown all inside random folders.

YoU hAvE tO iNsTaLl ItUnEs yeah no, I'm not shoving bloat trash on my computer. It's an extrernal drive, if the shittiest chinese mp3 players can figure it out, someone running a billion dollar ad campaign of silhouettes dancing about should be able to.
