TechSprout Pi adds Bluetooth, streaming, and USB-C to aging iPods

Sprout Pi and Sprout Pico replace an iPod’s motherboard, adding Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB-C, a microSD slot, FLAC playback, and more without soldering. The higher-end Pi also supports Spotify and Apple Music, which the article says may undermine the iPod’s appeal as a distraction-free device. It works with third- and fourth-generation iPods and the iPod mini; a Crowd Supply campaign is coming, with no price announced.
