With the 22nd anniversary of the iPod having occurred on October 23rd, which was your first iPod?
Here’s a picture of mine. I have it, along with several other previous models.

Anyone wanting to return to the retro, you can buy an upgraded 1-4TB version if you don’t want to hack your old one.
I love these iPods and wish they stayed this simple and usable. Admittedly there are lots of great new features out there, but for a purpose built device it is a classic.
That website is a wreck. I purchased some parts from EOE and everything turned out fine, but I also know that people have had issues with them as well.
I flash modded a 6th gen Classic. I enjoyed the miserable experience, and I enjoy using the iPod for 320k MP3 AUX playback, but honestly I think a modern device probably makes more sense. If not a smartphone with one of the Apple-Aux adapters, maybe something like the NW-A306. Lack of streaming support is bad. No real FLAC / “high-res” support is bad. iTunes is a mess.
No FLAC, but ALAC works on iPods.
As for iTunes/Music; I kinda like it. It’s fairly straightforward since they stripped out all the other stuff.
