Wow. 20 years.
At first I hated the idea of it and Apple's 128bit files. Then I got one while in New York when I realised I could use it for higher quality files from my CDs and imports from my cassettes. I still use my iPod Classic extensively today.

Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

But there's an iPod Touch in the workshop in a Bose sounddock as the main music source out there, and a couple of Nanos that I use when I'm out in the garden, or up a ladder.
Pretty much revolutionised how we all listen to music. Incredible changes in just 20 years.
40GB of music was quite something after using a walkman before the iPod.
Earlier stuff is durable, easily fixable & hackable/upgradeable too.
My iPod Classic, originally 20GB & with Wolfson DAC.
Spotify has sadly rendered them largely not useful but I wonder whether Spotify would be what it is without them.
Back in the day I couldn't afford an ipod so had something by Philips I think. It was about the size of a cassette Walkman. Got bullied something rotten for it.
My ipod just kept on going subject to the odd repair.
I had a Creative Nomad years before that. And it sounded better than any ipod ever did.
Happens a lot.
Of course, that raised a few questions.
I don't understand the hate for iTunes either, I use it every day and I'm quite religious about keeping my library really organised, and it works perfectly well for me. It does have some minor annoyances, but so does most software.
