TacetOS -

[Vadmyro @vadmyro]

I'm building TacetOS: a free, open source app for old iPods, from the 1G to the Classic. It installs a firmware, syncs your music, edits settings and themes. Linux, Windows, macOS.

"Tacet" is what a score says when an instrument stays silent.

TacetOS v0.1: plug in an iPod and the app shows its model, its state and which firmware runs on it, live.

Linux for now, build from source, no installer yet. It does not change anything on your iPod.

@BringBckTheiPod Thanks! Flash mods are in the plan: detection handles a swapped drive and capacity. I've only tested a stock 120 GB Classic so far, so no promises yet. If you want to follow along (or test), join the Discord: https://t.co/1IWUVGnCoI

Next is v0.1, already started: the app detects your iPod live. Plug it in and it shows the model, its state and the firmware on it.

Then the install wizard (with a backup and a way back to Apple's software), music sync, settings, themes.

Where I am: setup and foundations are done.

- app skeleton, built and tested on Linux, Windows and macOS on every push
- a database of the 10 iPod models
- written specs for the install steps, device detection and theme format

No feature yet, groundwork first.
