Just having a look at S/H Classics, you can pick up v5/5.5 Classics for £40-50, so I'm going to get a S/H one, a new battery, and one of the kits to convert it, along with a 256Gb card, for a hell of a lot less than the Fiio X5 I was considering getting.
Looks like an upgrade to 512Gb would be just a card swap once prices drop to reasonable levels, which would keep me going for the foreseeable future!
The bloke behind those kits is hinting at a 1Tb capacity Classic, as well...
C'mon Apple, how difficult would it be to do this?
Apple just dont see a market for it what with all the streaming and the people with 'small' collections that fit on their phones.
Its amazing how simple the little sd card adapter is, so they could easily have continued making iPods.
So, yeah, good plan to upgrade a 2nd hand one - it is reasonalbly easy if you follow the youtube vids. Also seems like 5th gen are the easiest to take apart, 6th seem to have lots of awkward clips. Only thing the vid I watched didn't make clear was how to get the disk's cable back in. Bloke at work showed me, its easiest with the new disk in place. Hope that makes sense!
I have been planning to do the upgrade on my classic 5. If needs a new battery so it seems like a good idea. I prefer to use my iPod to my phone for everything but rides.
