They\u2019re great for working out. The hardware form factor isn\u2019t what did these in \u2014 it\u2019s the antiquated notion of having to sync audio files to them via a cable connected to a Mac or PC. If the content on your audio player isn\u2019t coming to it over the air, mostly likely streaming, it isn\u2019t relevant.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you don\u2019t use streaming though, the iPod is a far better music player than the one on iOS. The only negative I have about my iPod Classic is the physical vibration of the HDD spinning up between songs. If the hard drive dies, I plan on replacing it with an SSD.<\/p>\n<p>When iTunes can successfully sync 25,000 AAC \/ Lossless audio files to my iPhone via WiFi or Cellular w\/o crashing, I\u2019ll ditch the cable. My iPod, iPad and iPhone plug into my iMac as soon as I get home, sync upon connection and are ready to go the next day fully charged and synced. It\u2019s a habit I won\u2019t be giving up easily because wireless syncing is simply too slow and streaming eats up too much data, not to mention I can\u2019t really stream where I live. The cellular connection is really crappy. 3G is considered good, 1X is average. I think people in cities haven\u2019t seen a 1X icon in years on their phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Daring Fireball: I\u2019m sure there are still tens of millions of these iPods in use, and will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-09-05T16:13:11Z","apple_news_api_id":"ab62b0a7-8acd-4395-8fe5-a8a2436f3717","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-09-05T16:13:14Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Aq2Kwp4rNQ5WP5aiiQ283Fw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/news-api.apple.com\/sections\/a6dbab72-c794-3987-8514-c419907b32a3"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7047","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1PF","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3942,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2013\/06\/14\/the-ipod-classic-in-2013\/","url_meta":{"origin":7047,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 The iPod Classic in 2013","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"June 14, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"Last month, I bought an iPod Classic at Best Buy.
