I got myself a dingus

Note:
‘Dingus’ refers to iPod Touch. I got the name from DankPods (also, this video of his is what convinced me to get this thing).

Remember this thread I've made in June? In August, I've decided I wanted to get an iPod Touch and now, the time has come.
The final push for me was Google killing Play Music to the point that the app isn't even able to play local .mp3 files anymore, unless you downgrade to an earlier version (it just gives you a blank screen, telling you to switch to YouTube Music). This, coupled with how they couldn't invent or even copy iTunes's way of syncing your database across devices for almost two decades really baffled me. And no, uploading songs to Google Play Music doesn't count. Not only was the process more complicated, you were also limited to 2000 songs, if I remember correctly.
I know I could've just installed an app on my phone or bought a cheap MP3 player, but 1) I wanted to be free of my old ways of copying music manually and sorting them into playlists on the phone, 2) iTunes's sync ensures your playlists and other data make it over even if you switch devices, and 3) I was curious about iOS, as I've never owned a device running it before.
So far, it's been working really well. In hindsight, I do realise I probably should've gotten one with more storage than 32 GB, but even with all my music on it, I still have 4.5 GB left, so it should do for a while, and I don't plan on using it for anything else than listening to music. Maybe, down the line, I'll look into modding it to get more storage, if that's a possibility.

Also, I need to get a silicone case for this thing, because it's frickin' tiny and I literally can't put it down on a flat surface without having to drop it 2 millimetres every time… and my fingers aren't even fat!

    @AncientBoi I imagine it don't make the fart sound anymore, probably sounds more like letting go of a balloon you just blew up.

    @Xdqwerty I remember getting a Genesis for Xmas, when I was your age, 13-14. Some cool games and good memories. Metal Gear, and Sonic were the games I played the most on it.
