iPod Touch can’t play through Xbox 360

We like to play Halo and listen to music at the same time.  It makes the game much more interesting.  Usually, we’ve been able to have our receiver on multiple inputs, analog for sound, and digital for video.  We plugged my iPod, or Mike’s Zune into the receiver via the headphone jack.  However, that is [...]

View Lyrics missing on iPod Touch

One of my favorite features on the 5th gen iPods was the option to view the Lyrics of the currently playing song. This was a particularly useful function to me because I like to read the lyrics of the songs sometimes if I don’t know a line, or if someone else doesn’t know it, [...]

iPod Touch Unboxing

This evening I went to the store, and went into the Apple Store to look at the new iPods, I do not like them at all, the iPod Classic looks cheesy, and the iPod nano does indeed look like crap. The Red shuffle is the nicest looking of all the new iPods. [...]

Geek technique shows us how to convert an iPod Mini from a micro hard drive into a solid state hard drive.  And i must say, i’ve taken a mini apart before, and it’s not that hard, but i never would have thought to do this to one.  Mostly because the hard drive worked, and mostly [...]

Now all that’s left is [...]

Gameboy iPod with Video

This skilled DIYer took apart an old Gameboy,  that’s the original one, The Brick, and inside it, was crammed an iPod.

He even wired up the A/B buttons Start/Select, and D-pad to the iPod’s click wheel controls:

The headphone jack is on the bottom, and it even has a dock connector, how awesome is that.
Now you can [...]

iTunes Jukebox

Correct me if i’m wrong, but, i thought that this was what the iPod was for.
Anyway…some guy created a nice Jukebox thing where party guests insert special modified CD Jewel cases into a tower, which recognizes them, and imports them into the current playlist on iTunes, and plays them.  Its a cool concept, but seriesly, [...]

microwave + iPod Nano

While this is not beyond my relm of things i would do, im sure some people (chris) would kill me for doing it, and some people (mike) would worship me for doing it.  But, as soon as someone donates one to me to do, i will so do it, but with much more class, and [...]

Movie screensavers on iPod

When you go to the Apple Store, and you play with the iPods, they usually have a movie looping when they’re not being used.  Now you can do that too, all easy, and free, and totally without breaking your iPod!
Just open up your iPod, create a folder called “Demo Mode” and insert a movie called [...]
