Who remembers the iPod Radio Remote?

Damn can’t say I ever saw this. I remember seeing the OG iPod in CompUSA on display and just enjoying the spinny wheel. As a 13 year old it was glorious.

Yo dawg, I heard you like iPods so I attached an iPod to your iPod so you can listen while you listen. (Looks like a shuffle)

Sure do. I’ve owned every generation of iPod. Sadly due to time and children I don’t have any of them anymore.

I had one of the original nanos, but I don’t remember this.

Oh man, I loved that thing.

Tons of little accessories like this.

Feels kind of silly when the real hardware controls are a foot away. I’m surprised these haven’t gotten a resurgence in popularity with current touchscreen DAPs.

I had one. It was great for clipping on my jacket so I could easily control the music while riding my motorcycle… until I replaced it with a shuffle.

I would put my shuffle on my sleeve and control it with my other hand. I remember once I was going over 200km/h and the song was staying alive when the music abruptly stopped. I looked down to see just the headphone cable flapping in the wind. By the time I circled around to find it, it had run over by at least 20 cars. 🥲

I had one!

I have one, it works on pretty much everything including the classic 7. One quirk of the design is that you can use either the headphone jack on the remote or on the iPod, but the one on the iPod will give you much worse reception as it won’t use the headphones as an antenna.
