Why I Use An iPod in 2024

Please forgive the YouTube-inspired title. It's a joke. Mainly.

Anyway, yes, I do actually use an iPod (specifically, a fourth generation (2004, click wheel) 20 GB model) as my music player when I'm out and about, or occasionally when lounging around the house. There are a few reasons for this that work for me that probably don't for most people.

Firstly: I still use wired headphones (over-ear at home, in-ear outside). The iPod has a 3.5mm headphone jack, obviously; equally obviously, my iPhone (like almost all recent phones) does not. Sure, there are convertors, but that's faff. So while I still avoid dragging myself into the 2020s and use Bluetooth, the iPod is actually more convenient.

As a digression: it's really nice being able to use my pocket computer without a wire getting tangled up in it. Maybe this argues for AirPods, but I noticed because of the iPod, so why not just keep using it?

Secondly: I listen to albums. All the way through, in artist-decided order. Old ones, that I've had for years, usually. I also don't use Spotify, Apple Music, or any other streaming source. So it's not important for my music device to actually be connected to the internet, ever. An occasional sync to put music on isn't the worst thing, especially as my tastes change glacially nowadays (and have for years).

Like I said, these are almost certainly unusual preferences now, at least if the flood of Spotify years in review and wireless buds are any indication. If I get AirPods, I'll probably switch back to music on my phone (which certainly handles compilations better). Still, it's nice having the music I own on a device, and that's far less likely to change than headphone technology.

I will say: if you're like me, and listen to albums (or rarely-changing playlists) on wired headphones, consider a dedicated device (either an old iPod, or something like the Shanling M0 Pro, which looks like an iPod nano 6th gen, but better). It might work for you, too.

Listened to Ada Rook for like two hours and these are my thoughts about the songs I listened to (very random bc of spotify mobile)

Thank u for showing me ada rook @highoncatfood

Sardonica

Yo that guitar slaps

I have no idea what she's saying but I can groove to this

This is likeeee. Animated musical villain is hypnotizing a character music

Yo is breathing part of the beat? Love when music does that

Very good I'd say likeeee 7.5/10 would listen again

Curse (for Devi)

Again that's a good guitar

Oh is this like a love song

Like the whispery type thing she's got going on

Still barely know what she's saying but it's okay !!!!!

Kinda less funky than sardonica, still good though. Id say 6.5/10 because less funky but I can understand the lyrics better

Tru U

AYOOO FIRST SONG I EVER HEARD

Still so good. Can really understand what she's saying

Makes me want to junko pose /pos

The chorus has such a good beat I bop to it

Definitely like. 8.5/10 because it hurts my ears sometimes but I adore it. Fave so far !!!! Which is funny because it was the first one I heard she just knocked it out of the park immediately.

Time dilation

more lowkey…. Kinda sad sounding

I like it. different vibe from the others But it's good!!!!

I like the flute thing going on in the back. And guitar as always

Kinda sounds like something that would play during a sad party scene in a movie. But actually good

Solid 7/10

Moth

Hmmm that tune seems familiar

I swear I've heard it before… Like a synth song or smth

Also a sadder one

Like the acoustic guitar here, sounds less funky but is nice for the song

Idk it's kinda. Boring ? Tru U set me up for Screaming Battery Acid and This is not that

It's not bad though! I'd say likkeeee 5/10

Starlight Zone

Oh. Hm

The screaming has never sounded like that Before

it sounds like it hurts her voice :<

am Not grooving to this one sadly

4/10 this is not the vibe for me

Host

Omori battle music right here

Honestly the instrumental is really good

I love the way it sounds

This is making me imagine an Infinity Train AMV???? It's got that sad scifi vibe

Also like the beat of the singing

WOAHHH THATS REALLY DISTORTEDDDD

Battery Acid here we goooooo

Will definitely hurt my ears like Tru U but it's okay this is good

FUCKK THAT PIANO AFTERRRR OHHHHHHHHHH

Original rating was 6.5/10 I judged too soon. Bumping that up rn

This song makes me realize that Ada rooks voice reminds me of. Scaramouche’s English va when he sings yes I'm making this about blorbos

Solid 7.5/10

Escape

Oh I can understand her this time

I thought the drop would give More but this is a vibe

Enjoyable !!!!

The instrumental is great

6/10, good!!!

Otherworld

Beginning reminds me of porter Robinson

This is a chill vibe so far

Hmmmm. Unsure

Not very boppable

I'm gonna sayyy 5/10 it's not bad I like the instrumental

Mystery School

This sounds like a more lowkey 100 Geccs

I enjoy it… good stuff

Not much of a beat but the instrumental Is sooooo funky

Good shit !!!!

Boppin

7/10

Ur gonna live

OHHH BOPPIN

This could make a good Lemon Demon beat

Love the instrumental

Kinda loses steam

But the guitar is good

Like the ending…. Oooo

6.5/10

Total memory failure

Another sad one but I like the “ahhh” in the instrumental

I can imagine sad amvs to this

Definitely has more of a beat

It sounds like they're tapping glasses in the instrumental that's a vibe

Ohhh that slowing of the tempo

Good stuff….

7/10

Sabotage everything

Hmmm

Not a lot going on in the instrumental

NVM WE BOPPIN

Took half the sing to get good but it's okay

That's gooodddddd

6/10 because it takes so long to get good

Don't wake

Oooo guitar…

OHHHHHHH

QUICK AF I LIKE IT

OHHHH DISTORTED COMPUTERY NOISES

THIS IS SWAG

NO IDEA WHAT SHES SAYING BUT I AGREE

FUCKK OHHHHH YOOOOOO THIS IS GOOODDDDDDD

This is 9/10 this is amazing. Can we get a vocaloid cover. Make it sound even more computery. Holy crap. Wish this was longer Oh my goddddddddddd

Broken grace

It just started and I'm head bopping

Wait did she just say she needs to pee

Oh well this is Gooddd

Makes me wish I knew how to play the electric guitar

Ohhhhhhhh ourghhhhhh aaaaaaaa this is good

8/10 I enjoy !!!!!

disease

Ooo acoustic guitar again

Bird noises….

Quieter… more calm

Sounds like it'd be a good song for an open world

Not really something I would listen to on the regular though

Solid 6/10 but that guitar is nice <333

Deep fantasy

Another villain Hypnotizing you musical number !!!

Kinda like it less than Sardonica though. Less going on

But not bad!!!!

Like what's going on in the instrumental

6/10 methinks

920london

Oh I don't like that opening

My ear rejects this my earbud has fallen out twice

I mean it's not bad I just don't really. Like it ? It picked up but this isn't it for me

5/10 it's fine I just don't really like it

hazer

Oooo distorted ads

This is gonna hurt my ears but. Oooooooo me like !!!

Hmmm. The screaming kinda. Ruins it here usually it goes along with it

Instrumental is good I adore it

But. Yeah the screaming isn't matching well with the instrumental

Vibe change. Hm. Why does the melody remind me of fricken. Shawn Mendez

I think I would enjoy an instrumental version but the voice and instrumental just don't match super well in this one except for like. 1 part

6/10, instrumental is 8/10

Gravity weapon

Ohhh that instrumental is funkyyyy

Funky opening. Love the samples

I'm cat bopping to this

Would also hurt my ears but that's okay

Me likey…. Ouhhh this is good

I wanna dance to this

No. I want to become an edit with this song

I hate that stupid mouse again !!!! Horray!!!! It's a silly line me likey

Solid 7.5/10

Coward 2 Coward

Yoo that opening is fun

This is funkyyy

Less going on so far but oòooo..

OHH that's a pretty voice outside the screaming

She could sing a creepy lullaby I think

Mmmmm instrumental

Delicious

I think if they eat us we die… crazy ikr

OHHHHH that piano bit…. This is spoopy

Anyway I like this. 7/10 just wish there was More stuff going on

Flatline

Oh. Don't really like that opening

I don't know why I don't like this it doesn't have the funkiness I like from Ada and the singer doesn't match the instrumental

This is making my head hurt actually what the Frick

Like the singing voice is good ! It's just too deep for the instrumental

My mouth hurts

3/10. The instrumental is kinda boring and the voices don't match it very well. Singing is fine but would've been suited to a different song ? This is actually painful what the fuxk

Puragtor3y modulation engine

Ohh this is an interesting opening

OHHH GOING HARDDDDD

Fuckkkkk ohhhhh

Major step up

Ohhhhhh aaaaa oooo rurrururhrrh

Wait actual words. Okay uh this song just hits that itch

Her voice is great in this song, the screaming matching just as well as the normal singing

The instrumental has moments of calmness and that funkiness I love

I wanna dance j wanna groove

That endingggg

7/10

Kinda giving I'm fourteen and this is deep but....

The moment when you relate more to book characters. When book characters are your best friends. When your free time is listening to music alone in your room. When you only hear the song. You zone out and books and songs and nothing else. School tells you failure. The sun tells you burns.

You prefer the rain. It's cold but not spiteful. It's not stormy, the sky isn't black. The rain just is. The music echoes through your ears and you scan the page and you trace the rain. The three joys of your life. People call you pathetic because of your connections with what seem to be so random. You ignore them. Everything connects. You are connected to everything but people make you feel so ignored. They see you but they don't. You're in the background. You slip away unnoticed. It's raining. It's cold but not spiteful. It's not stormy, the sky isn't black. The rain just is. The music at that party fades to silence as you turn the pages of your favourite book. This is almost perfect. Your favourite song. Now it's perfect. You are filled with emotions. It feels strangely familiar. Like you've been here in a dream. They call you pathetic. You ignore them. Your connection with these random things makes you who you are. You think of this perfect moment when you feel you are about to lose control. The moment when book characters are more relatable. Open up to people but remember what was always there when they called you pathetic. The day you lose your connection is the day that pigs will fly. When it rains you remember. It's cold but not spiteful. It's not stormy, the sky isn't black. The rain just is. Take time to just be. Do everything you love. Being alone isn't always a bad thing. Take some time to be alone with the real you. Take some time to breathe in the smell of the rain. Open a book. Listen to music. Write a kind of story speech. Like me. I prefer the rain. It's cold but not spiteful. It's not stormy, the sky isn't black. The rain just is.

When someone tells you something you like is inferior or basic or bad, don’t stop liking it. Don’t let them get to you.

They are the one that needs to grow up and understand the deeper meanings in things. They are the immature one, confusing their taste, or possibly what circumstance has told them they are allowed to say they like, for importance and worth.

When someone says the songwriter you like writes surface-level garbage, unlike their favorite songwriter,

Even if it doesn’t have a deep meaning, who cares? Have fun and enjoy it, and you’ll be happier than this clown. And even if that isn’t enough, you can personally derive profound and unique connections from even the simplest of music.

If you spend hours listening to the music and interpreting meaning out of it, and they listened to the song once and said it was just a catchy pop song with no real meaning, they’re just wrong and naïve. The meaning’s there whether they look for it or not.

If they complain that their metaphors are too obvious and not deep enough then they probably aren’t actually getting the deeper meaning or maybe your favorite is just better at effectively conveying ideas than theirs. And again, more convoluted is not the same as better.

Music is art, and art is an expression of feeling. Just like a simple painting can strike something profound within one person while looking like whatever to another, music is a very individual experience. Don’t let them tell you what you can and can’t like, and don’t let them tell you that your connection to it is less valid than their connection to their favorite music.

They just can’t see the beauty because their eyes are closed to it.

#music #music listening #judgment #be yourself #be true to yourself #and if you go around telling people their favorite things are bad please kindly stfu and mind your own gd business
