From the iPod Nano onwards the small iPods (nano, shuffle) have all been fitted with solid state flash memory instead of these microdrives. Sooner or later these will all stop working. The microdrive is a little wonder on its own, it’s a very tiny harddrive but the downside to that is that it’s a mechanical device with moving parts. You can find them fairly cheap on sites like eBay and such. The two major issues for these players to stop working are the battery and the internal microdrive.įor batteries there’s a fairly good after market, I’ve just replaced the one in the mini showing on this page and that works great. These iPod minis are discontinued a while ago and are coming of age.

I understand Apple needs to keep selling iPods in ever different tastes, but personally and as far as only an MP3-player is concerned, I’d say: look no further. With its small form factor (compared to the big iPods, not to the later Nano or shuffle or such) and metal scratch-resistant housing it’s a no-nonsense MP3-player with a great interface. Put flash memory into (almost) ANY iPod! ^_^įor me personally, of all the iPods that have been around or still are, the iPod mini is one of the greatest. and don’t forget to visit my other project: There’s an update/add-on to this project:īattery life on the flash based iPod minis 27 February 2007, 22:06 by mark hoekstra turn your iPod mini into a flash based iPod
