Celebrate the iPod

Macworld Friday marks the 25th anniversary of the iPod . If I could, Id pull out my old iPod out of storage and give it a once over on this occasion, but sadly its long gone. However, Apple provides the next best thing: a virtual iPod on the Apple Music website. This Apple Music iPod isnt in plain sight. Its hidden, and to find it, you first have to use the Apple Music website, not the Music app on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Then you have to go to a webpage that produces an error message, which means you cant just click on any link on, say, the Apple Music home page. Fortunately, we have an Apple Music error page link you can use to see the iPod for yourself; if you are an Apple Music user, copy the link and paste it into a browser, because clicking the link launches the Music app, where you cant see the iPod. Heres the link: https://music.apple.com/us/MichiModsStuff (you can also right-click the link and open in a new browser tab). Foundry The displayed iPod is interactive. To use the clickwheel on a Mac, cursor over it and then click and drag. On an iPhone or iPad, it becomes a meta experience where today meets yesterday and youre suddenly using the iPod on your devices display. Its not clear if this is a event-only stunt that will eventually go away or if its here to stay. I certainly hope its the latter, but it case its not, check it out before time runs out. You can also watch the iPod introduction hosted by Steve Jobs below (I wasnt there, but you can see my wife in the YouTube thumbnail, sitting behind then-Macworld editors Jason Snell, Rick LePage, and Jonathan Seff, and next to Philip Michaels).
