Contrary to common sense, 16-year-old iPod remade to run Spotify on it

Developer and YouTube blogger Guy Dupont apparently had nothing to do, so for some reason he decided

breathe new life into your old iPod.

What happened

He based it on the 4th generation iPod Classic,which came out back in 2004. He doesn't have an Internet connection via Wi-Fi, but the blogger fixed that. The updated gadget received a color display, a 1000 mAh battery and the main part - a Raspberry Pi Zero W computer. And yes, now it supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so that, for example, you can connect to wireless headphones or a speaker.

All the components for the sPot (that's what the iPod is called after the upgrade) cost about $100.

In addition, DuPont updated the software usingRaspotify app and writing some of it yourself. As a result, sPot can connect to the Spotify API and play music from the streaming service.
