Page 1 of FIFA and iPod RIP

It’s a sad day for MP3 players, and a sadder day for production line identikit, cash cow franchise football games.

One of those is a real surprise. I guess after licensing fees, EA will save so much money it doesn't have to be remotely as successful and they'll still make money from it.

Can't speak for the footie games but when was the last time any of us used an iPod?

Just before it broke connecting it to a bad cable on my previous car. 😂 As soon as phone storage got so big even the lower end models could store your entire music collection, it kind of was always on it's way out.

Just got my 6th gen out of the drawer and charging it up.
Probably haven't used it for at least 7/8 years so fascinated to see what's on it.
Being an old fart probably still 90% of what I listen to now.

Next job find some ear buds (no Bluetooth).

EDIT: Now playing. Caro Emerald. Not that long since I listened to her, still on my Electro Swing playlist.
