A young man had an abandoned iPod and it occurred to him to give it a second life using a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a color screen, a lot of skill and time. Little by little he managed to hack the iPod that was already in his twenties and get a device to play Spotify wirelessly.

These are the things that make you wonder if spending time in the sun, or watching Netflix, or chatting, is as useful as hacking a device that is over 17 years old and bringing it back to life with a function as useful as Spotify playlist player.
But hey, everyone has their hobbies, their distractions and they know what they like, what they don’t and what to spend their time on. And for that, Dupont decided to give a 17-year-old forgotten iPod a second chance.
Dupont, emptied the interior of the iPod leaving only the classic wheel of the device, after introduced a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a 1,000 mAh rechargeable battery and replaced the iPod screen by a color LCD. Not only that, but Dupont perfected your project so much that they introduced a small motor to create haptic feedback.
But of course, by emptying the iPod the original operating system disappeared, but that was not a problem for Dupont, since they managed to create a user interface using Python. At the end of its feat, Dupont has a 17-year-old iPod on the outside and an interior revamped to 2021.
The interesting thing about it is that your device is capable of playing almost any digital audio format and it is also capable of accessing Spotify wirelessly (without cables) and playing the playlists.
