I think that the interesting thing about Eiffel is that it supports design by contract, an idea that was created and implemented first in Eiffel.

This reminds me of good old Clippy.

Surprised he did not choose "American Intelligence"

Oh gosh, “sudo”… because if you use it you are a “super user”?… Not a great name.

To be honest I like the classic UI and would not want to use Rockbox… I have struggled trying to use it with Linux. There are ways, in theory, but actually was a pain in practice. I’ve been told Finder works fine, if that’s the case then that’s great.

Well, the support link says iPod Touch, that’s not all iPods. I was thinking about older models to be honest.

I’ve been told in another comment that they still sync, via Finder. I have had issues with that, but it’s probably okay from what other comments say.

I’ve done an online search and I see other people that have had technical issues syncing with Finder. I guess it depends on the macOS version, iPod model… who knows.

I’ve used Clementine but found it to be clunky and unreliable. Again, just my personal experience with it.

It’s true that after iTunes ceased to exist it was then possible to sync them with the Music app and Finder, I was wrong to say that. I meant to say that Apple no longer offers support for the device.

I have had issues syncing with Finder on a particular model. I assumed these models no longer worked with the OS. Happy to hear that they do. Maybe it was the OS version, or the model. I should try again.

Hi. I am the target for this kind of device. I like to have a dedicated music player, and I like the shape of the iPod classic. I don’t want to use a smartphone.

This device has Bluetooth which the old iPod did not have, which is an enhancement. The old iPod also forces you to sync the music using the iTunes library.

The iPod aren’t supported anymore, they require iTunes which is no longer available on macOS. And iTunes is also not available for Linux.

Exactly my experience with it, and I did the same, which is a pity.

I was hosting a site there, but the administration is unresponsive and I gave up on them. Lovely place, though.

Is it Cerebus the aardvark perhaps?
