Why .pod. exists
An iPod Classic. A Mac. A reason to make .pod.
AL, the creator of .pod. at Maya at Sea, dusted off his iPod Classic, connected it to his Mac and built .pod. to bring back the desktop music workflow he wanted.
- Save with .pod.
Browse Apple Music, queue your selection and save supported tracks as local audio files on your Mac.
- Import into Music.
Add the compatible saved files to Music as local audio.
- Sync to your iPod Classic.
Use Music to sync those local files to the connected iPod Classic.
.pod. browses, queues and saves. Music performs the device sync; .pod. does not manage or sync your iPod.
