Techy tinkerer Guy Dupont has hacked an iPod Classic to stream directly from Spotify over WiFi, and even added Bluetooth connectivity to the iconic MP3 player. Users can use the classic click wheel to browse playlists and even Search the whole of Spotify’s library. Dupont loaded the Classic with a Raspberry Pi W, which helped with the WiFi and Bluetooth, and added a new rechargeable battery, which gets its power over a new microUSB port. The 3.5mm port still remains, but it’s been made redundant – RIP to the iconic headphone jack.
