What we do
iPod Classic Mod & Repair Services
From a simple battery swap to a full Classic Connect 2 build, we handle the complete range of iPod Classic work. You supply the iPod — we supply the expertise and components.
SSD Upgrade
Replace the aging spinning hard drive with a modern flash storage solution using iFlash adapters. No more skipping, near-instant load times, and massively extended battery life. Capacities from 64GB up to 1TB+ depending on your generation and firmware.
Classic Connect 2
Bluetooth audio streaming for your iPod Classic. The Classic Connect 2 module replaces the HDD bay and adds wireless output while simultaneously serving as your SSD upgrade. Compatible with specific generations — call to confirm yours.
Battery Replacement
Original iPod Classic batteries are 15–20 years old. A fresh battery combined with an SSD upgrade transforms the listening experience — most modded iPods with a new battery run 20–40+ hours per charge.
Click Wheel & Screen Repair
Unresponsive click wheel, dead zones, or a cracked/dim LCD? We replace click wheels and screens on all Classic generations to bring your iPod back to full working condition before or alongside any mod work.
RockBox Installation
Open-source firmware that unlocks your iPod's full potential — removes the 128GB storage cap on 6th and 7th gen models, adds FLAC and OGG support, equalizer, and deep customization. Required for large capacity builds on later Classics.
Complete Custom Build
The full treatment — SSD upgrade, new battery, RockBox (if needed), click wheel check, and optional Classic Connect 2 Bluetooth. We walk you through every option upfront so you get exactly the build you want.
Honest pricing, no surprises. iPod Classic mods are specialist work and are priced accordingly — components like iFlash adapters, high-capacity storage cards, and Classic Connect 2 modules are premium parts. A basic SSD + battery build starts in the mid-range; full builds with Classic Connect 2 are at the higher end. We give you a complete quote before any work starts. Call or text (303) 630-9499 with your generation and what you're looking for.
Know your iPod
Generation Guide — What's Possible on Your Model
Not all iPod Classics are created equal. The mod options and firmware limitations vary significantly by generation. Here's what you need to know before calling.
Firmware explained
RockBox — Do You Need It?
RockBox is open-source firmware that replaces the Apple iPod operating system. It's not required for every build — but for 6th and 7th gen Classics with large storage, it's the right call.
When RockBox is the right choice
RockBox gives you:
- Removes the 128GB storage cap on 6th gen Classics running Apple OS
- FLAC, OGG, WAV, and other lossless format support
- Parametric EQ and audio DSP tools
- Deep UI customization with themes
- Gapless playback on all formats
- Active open-source community and ongoing updates
Trade-offs to know:
- Different interface — takes some getting used to vs Apple OS
- iTunes sync works differently (drag and drop instead)
- Some prefer the original Apple iPod UI — RockBox can dual-boot if preferred
- Not required on 5th/5.5th gen or 7th gen — those handle large builds natively
