LYC: We have an iPod shuffle that is connected to our phone system that has continuously been playing the same playlist for music on hold for 8 years

As I was cleaning out my office last week I realized that I still had a "boombox" with Ipod docked in it that was a very early 10GB Ipod. Still works. - pmb May 14, 10:09
How many songs in the playlist? what's the most played song? -- nm - Remlik May 14, 09:33 3
- heh. I have no idea. I'm not even sure how we would figure that out. I'd be surprised if it connected properly to iTunes anymore :) - oblique May 14, 09:45 2
  - *crashes the entire phone system* -- nm - Dano May 14, 10:01
  - it'd be kind of interesting to see. -- nm - Remlik May 14, 09:51
I have a shuffle and I still use it to this day when running. They can take it from my cold dead hands. -- nm - MDH May 14, 09:31 9
- They still sell iPod Touches. Likely seen as a pre-Phone option for pre-teens perhaps. -- (link) - IAmQale May 14, 10:07 1
  - That's exactly why they're sold. They're essentially no contract (well, cause no phone) iPhones. Welcome to the ecosystem -- nm - JD May 14, 10:11
- I still have a 128 classic that rocks the store playlist. -- nm - Remlik May 14, 09:51
- I still have a zune mini. It still worked at least through the last time I checked. - JaxSean May 14, 09:38
- But which shuffle? I'm guessing not the one that looked like a jacket pull and had no controls - JD May 14, 09:35 4
  - that's the one we're using. The very tiny square one -- nm* - oblique May 14, 09:45 3
    - Not that one. At least I don't think so. I think the one you're referring to is basically sized by a click wheel. Well a non-click, non-wheel, - JD May 14, 09:51 [Attachment] 2
      - Yup, that's the one -- nm - oblique May 14, 09:57 1
        
        That's the bounce back from the one that I'm pretty sure nobody still has. The version where Apple found out it was possible to go too small -- (edited) - JD May 14, 10:01 [Attachment]
impressive, most impressive -- nm - budice May 14, 09:29
