At first I had trouble charging it; I tried two different wall chargers but nothing after two hours. I figure I might have to buy a decent iPod wall adapter for it to work that way. Anyway, I eventually tried charging it with my laptop and it’s at full battery since yesterday. I used it for a little bit and gotta say, I almost shed a tear from the nostalgia alone. It was like being back in high school…no fancy apps, no subscriptions, no internet to distract, no tracking, just nice, clear music and an addictive wheel to flip through your albums…my family was astounded I could find one of these.
More people need to switch back to the classics. Not cause I’m old and sentimental but because tech is going in such an awful direction. Unplugging feels like a detox at this point.
I hope this lasts a while, it’s gonna be hard going back to my phone for music.
