![]() ![]() ![]() I've given it several days and tried to like it, but the new sound has more trade offs than gains. ![]() I noticed within 20 seconds of music that this new iPod had inferior sound (lacking soundstage, detail and tonal balance). I recently bought a new iPod to replace my old faulty one. ![]() you are lucky as you have a good ipod and 2.0.5 will offer you nothing. i believe this change happened sometime between 20. because the actual hardware is different, the software is not compatible. they did a ghost release of a inter-generational downgrade which has inferior hardware, and is able to run 2.0.5. you have the original or 2nd revision 6th generation, which can only use 2.0.4. TLDR they downgraded the audio circuitry within this 6th 'generation', to save money. Thought I'd post here for anyone else interested. If anybody has been in my shoes and has been able to downgrade that OS, please write here to detail your experience.Īs always, huge thanks to the PPC community.I have experienced this too. I know about RockBox but I'm very attached to the iTunes / iPod integration as I have several PPC setups with 10.5.8 installed and I don't want to break that bond. I've located every earlier iPod Classic OS revs but, everytime I double click on them, it either has no impact (PPC setting) or, at least in 10.14 Mojave, it fires up iTunes, claims to re-install the earlier OS but then, at boot, the classic again shows 2.0.5 as default OS. In OSX Leopard 10.5.8 (MDD G4), the iPod mounts on the desktop as an external drive but is a no show in iTunes 10.6.8 except for "requires OSX Lion" message at startup. However, much to my surprise, this iPod requires OSX Lion for Compatibility which is very surprising considering the similar earlier revisions (except for the 160GB single platter) were PPC compatible. Back in 2014, just before it got EOL'd, I was able to purchase a brand new iPod Classic (single platter 160GB - last revision ever). ![]()
