When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

Depends on the compression. Yes, you could fit 500 songs on a 4 GB iPod, as the adverts constantly loved to remind everyone about. But it was the early 2000s, so the quality wasn't good, and then we're still talking about a pretty high compression even back then.

You can quite easily convert ipods to flash storage. I have a 256GB ipod mini with bluetooth and a taptic engine instead of the clicker.

Interesting. Most interesting. I take it it would need some soldering? I don't have the tools, but could you send me a video of some instructions on how to do that? Could be a fun future project.

Depends on ehat kind of ipod you have. The mini is probably the easiest to mod with flash. The taptic and bluetooth are a bit harder to do.
