Apple Music Has a Hidden iPod You Can Play With

by Joe Rossignol

Apple Music has a 404 page easter egg on the web: a functional iPod that appears when you load a page that does not exist, such as music.apple.com/macrumors.

Apple Music iPod Page Not Found
"Page Not Found," says Apple. "Give this a spin instead."

Apple is clever with this. If you navigate to music.apple.com/ipod instead, the page says "Looking for something?" instead of "Page Not Found."

The easter egg is only visible in a web browser, so you cannot see it in the Apple Music app. To avoid being redirected to the Apple Music app, hold down the Command key when clicking on the link on a Mac, or press and hold on the link and tap "Open" on iOS.

You can navigate the first-generation iPod using the click wheel and listen to 90-second previews of select songs from artists such as Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Coldplay, Daft Punk, Drake, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Panic! At The Disco, U2, and more.

There is even an easter egg within an easter egg. If you navigate to Settings → About on the iPod and click and hold on the click wheel's center button, you can eventually play the classic game Breakout on the screen. Apple co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs helped to create Breakout while they worked at Atari in the 1970s.

iPod Easter Egg Breakout
These easter eggs were spotted by Kian and Alex Greenland on the 25th anniversary of Apple announcing the original iPod.

Apple discontinued the iPod touch in 2022, marking the end of the iPod era.

Apple appears to be rolling out a new logo for Apple Music in its upcoming set of software updates.
