Here’s a picture of mine. I have it, along with several other previous models.

It still might be my favourite device of all time. There was something magical about that era and a good ol iPod classic. Maybe I was at an age where music was a huge part of my life and now less so. Maybe it was because everyone carried around an iPod, and scrolling through each other’s meant getting to know each other. There’s something amazing about it that having access to everything now ended up killing that feeling. Or I just got older.
Yea I'm with you. While it may indeed be nostalgia talking, I think it really did hit a spot about as well as any product can. People resonated with the design and UI, and you could put all the music you needed on just one pocket sized device. Maybe the first nicely functioning laptops were similar, and maybe the first home TVs and Vinyl players too, I don't know. But it more or less solved portable music playing, where even now we haven't really moved away from it with streaming etc as far as the essential product idea goes.
