These two related items are being offered as a pair:

1. First-generation Apple iPod with 160 GB of music storage, USB charging cable, and protective 'sock'.

2. 'iPig' amplifier / speaker / docking station, with remote control, and mains power supply.

The two of them together could be a great (free) way to introduce a child to the joys of music, without exposing them to the horrors of the internet.

* iPOD *

The iPod still works well. It's got the classic user interface, where you run your finger round the control ring to scroll up and down. Press and hold the play/pause button to turn it off.

In preparation, I did a factory reset on the iPod, then copied a single album onto it to prove that it still works.

Note that to transfer music onto the iPod, you'll need:

(a) Some .mp3 music files e.g. ripped from your CD collection (ask your parents what a CD is), and
(b) A laptop/computer (Windows or Mac) with Apple iTunes installed.

Then you can use iTunes to copy .mp3 files from the computer onto the iPod using the USB cable supplied.

* iPIG *

The iPig is a combined amplifier and speaker which sounds surprisingly good for a small unit.
It's approx 16 cm x 15 cm x 15cm.

It looks cool too - the aesthetic seems to be part-pig, part-Darth-Vader! The iPig can be used either:

(i) To play music from the iPod directly - you just plug the iPod into the socket on top of the iPig, like a docking station, or

(ii) As an amplifier and speaker for other music sources, for which there is a 3.5mm input socket on the back panel.

E.g. if you have a lightning-to-3.5mm-audio-jack cable, you could play music from a iPhone.

You can control the volume by gently pressing the iPig's ears(!)

The iPig also comes with a slimline remote control, which controls volume etc. and lets you toggle between playing music from the iPod, or from a connected external source.

When not in use, the iPod can be charged by leaving it plugged into the socket on the top of the iPig.

(Note that the iPig does *not* support Bluetooth. (It's a wired solution not wireless.)
