This week I reformatted the output files to match the color of the blog.
I also added a page listing the total play count for each iPod and a top ten albums page.
The Top Ten page is total plays of any track off an album from the entire time I track, so 10/01/2022 – Whenever I lose interest in the project.
Without further explanation, here is this week’s listening stats:

Top Ten Albums (Based on individual track plays):
I am going to try to catalog what I listen to each week and start posting it here.
I put together a spreadsheet and linked it to a mail merge file in MS Publisher so I can get a .pdf printout of the information that I want. I’ll be interested to see how this works, for how long I can keep it up, and how the spreadsheet changes along the way.
My previously mentioned 4th Gen iPod Photo (henceforth referred to as grossPod) has a dying HDD. I went ahead and ordered some parts to FlashMod it, and get it running for decades more to come.
This required a series of adapters to replace the HDD with a MicroSD card:
We needed a cable to go from the IDE interface to something the board could handle, the board itself then a CF to SD card adapter. I also added a SD to MicroSD adapter, because I had a 128GB MicroSD card for this project.

IPod once the modifications are complete:
(Everything complete)
(Still a little gross around the edges)
I now have (yet another) 128gb iPod for the collection. Hooray!
