The iPod Mini was Apple's first smaller alternative to the original iPod. And while the Mini was discontinued in 2005 to make way for the iPod Nano, the Mini is still a relevant iPod model. While its features--no photo or video capabilities, no color screen--are a bit prehistoric compared to newer iPods, with storage capacities that ranged from 1,000 to 1,500 songs, depending on the generation, the Mini still offers users plenty of storage space well after it disappeared from the marketplace. Despite its age, loading music to the iPod Mini is the same as it is for newer models.
