The replica recreates the original iPod’s scroll wheel, monochrome display and menu structure, with Playlists, Artists, Songs and Settings menus. On desktop, the arrow keys and Enter key can also be used for navigation. The Settings menu includes Shuffle, Repeat, Backlight Timer, a Clicker toggle and Reset All Settings.
The About screen also hides a version of Brick, the Breakout-style game that the original iPod included as an Easter egg. As on the 2001 hardware, the game is launched by holding the center button on the About screen. On the web version, the button has to be held for five seconds.
