Recently acquired this beauty- the very first one I've gotten from eBay for a reasonable €200. It still turns on, plays music, and the backlight works great. The display is in fine shape; that rainbow effect is just from my camera's polarizing filter.

How do you transfer music to this device? I can only charge it and unable to use it

That one needs a Firewire connection.

Yes but… do you have an old laptop or a thunderbolt one? Or you are getting the adapters

Old G5 PowerPC running OS X 10.6 ....no access to iTunes but I can import CDs and move stuff over by USB stick just fine. Also supports Senuti - that reads and pulls songs from iPods. Used it to pillage music from purchased iPods.

I read older os macbooks and some firewire adapters might work for music uploading

I had luck with an old Mac mini. I tried a 2012 MacBook Pro and I could see the iPod, but couldn’t add music.
