In this video I show off my rPod project I've been working on for a while. rPod is a modern iPod-style music player running on a Raspberry Pi. It uses the original iPod's clickwheel and casing to make the experience feel just like an iPod.
It has modern features that the original iPod does not have such as bluetooth and Airpods support, colour screen, Wifi, and much more. It has many themes to choose from to make rPod more customizable.
This is still just a side project I work on and isn't perfect. I do plan on continuing to make rPod better and possibly bring the project to the next level with a custom PCB.

If you'd like to build one yourself, you can checkout the Github page for which all of the firmware is available. There is also a wiring guide to help hook up the peripherals.

This is my first "official" video that I've taken the time to record and edit to make it more appealing. I would really appreciate if you let me know how I did and what I should improve on next.

Thanks for watching!
