Talk:IPod Classic

Official website
I've tried to change to article to reflect the fact that the link to the official website is a dead link, but I'm not sure if I have done so correctly. Doonagatha (talk) 07:41, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

USB?
The article says the connectors are USB/Firewire but the iPod Classic connectors were all Apple's 32 pin proprietary connector which was discontinued with the discontinuation of the classic 6th generation. Or did i miss something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmhowitt (talk • contribs) 08:39, 1 January 2018 (UTC)


 * At the host end, the wire is USB-A or Firewire. At the iPod end, it's 30-pin. The reason we bother to state that it was USB/Firewire on the host end is because the iPod hails to a bygone era when it wasn't unheard of for devices to connect to PC via an ancient "D-Sub" 9-pin serial or 25-pin parallel connector (designed in the 1970s!). For example, the Rio PMP300 connected via the parallel printer port. Heck, when the first-gen iPod came out, Sony was still insisting that it was totally cool for users to record their MP3s to MiniDisc via an analog connection! — TheHerbalGerbil (TALK, 05:53, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
