Read text in iPod nano 6g

Not so long ago I had the idea to use my iPod nano 6g as an aid when cheating on exams. What can be more convenient than reading a text document directly from your wrist and not being caught with spurs?

Everything turned out to be not as cloudless as I had supposed - it was on the sixth generation iPod nano that Apple excluded the function of taking notes that I had chosen so much - but the solution was still found. I invite all those interested in compassionals under cat.

It's no secret that iPod nano 6g in its concept initially claimed to be a watch on the hands of future owners. Despite the fact that Apple did not officially release the original straps, a similar form factor of its offspring was de facto confirmed by the release of firmware 1.2, in which 16 new electronic dials were added.

So why not use it to write spurs? To implement this idea, I needed to order a rubber strap on eBay from one of thousands of Chinese manufacturers and sit down to study the issue. As it turned out, this subject was not really disclosed either on Western or domestic resources. I had to dig myself.

How to make iPod nano 6g read texts :

Despite the cessation of support for the functions of notes in the sixth generation of nano, users of these devices have two ways:

1. Add the necessary information to the lyrics.
2. Create graphic files that will contain text.

Path 1. Editing the lyrics





To edit the text of songs in iTunes, you need to right-click on the pre-seen song, then Information -> Words

Minuses:
- inability to format text
- inconvenience navigation text
- the need to create fake albums or the use of existing ones, which reduces usability

Path 2. Convert text to .jpg or .png





Since the screen resolution of iPod nano 6g is 240x240 pixels and the zoom of photos is 4x , it is most logical to create graphic files .jpg or .png with a size of 960x960 pixels. The minimally readable text options for me were: Times New Roman 22 size . Then these files must be placed in the synchronization folder with your iPod. Rule one: each subfolder is an album. Freedom sorting and ease of navigation when using this method is clearly more.

That's all.
