    iPod video maker.

    Your track on the Now Playing screen of an iPod: title, artist, album, and the bar filling up as the song plays. Nothing spins.

    Open the studio

    Opens with an iPod and 4:5 ready. Free to design, sign in only to export.

    What is on the screen

    The iPod is seen from the front. Its screen is Now Playing with your cover, the title, the artist and the album, and a progress bar that fills over the whole song. The tags of your song file fill the three lines, and you can type over each one. The first iPod shows no album.

    Which iPod

    • iPod classic (2007), silver or black.
    • iPod nano (2006) in silver, pink, green, blue, black and (PRODUCT) RED.
    • iPod video (2005), white or black, and the first iPod nano (2005).
    • The first iPod (2001), with its monochrome screen.

    Pick the one from the year of your song. A 2006 track on a 2006 nano reads right.

    Why it works on a feed

    Spinning records are everywhere in a feed. An iPod screen with a track you can read looks different, and people recognise it. It suits a nostalgic release, a throwback edit, or anything you want to feel like a playlist you saved.

    Time and limits

    The screen draws every frame, so an iPod takes longer to render than a record: about 20 seconds per minute of clip, shown in the Export before you start. Clips go up to 10 minutes. Every iPod is open to try in the studio. Exporting one is Pro.

    Questions

    Can I write the track title myself?
    Yes. Title, artist and album come from the tags of your song file, and you can type over each one in the studio.
    Does the iPod play the music?
    In the video, yes: your song is the sound and the progress bar follows it from start to end of your clip.
    Is the first iPod there?
    Yes, the 2001 iPod with its monochrome screen, next to the classic, the video and two generations of nano.

    Try it with your own track.

    Drop a cover and a song in the studio. Everything is open to try, and nothing to pay until you export.
