A DIY tinker has created something very interesting using a 17-year-old fourth-generation iPod. For those who may not have been around during the fourth-generation iPod era, it’s the old one with the big click wheel and monotone screen. The guy behind the project says that he was given a bag of old iPods and decided to modify one.
His goal was to add modern features to the iPod, including streaming music, search, and Bluetooth audio support. The result is a project called sPot that features streaming and search capability from Spotify. He built the user interface from scratch using Python, but it’s based on the original iPod experience.
