I’m currently eyeing either an iPod classic 5th gen or a Surfans F20, but definitely want input and suggestions on getting a decent portable music player.
Basically, I’m trying to find something that has good audio quality, is not touch screen, reasonably durable, repairable, upgradable, etc. Big storage capacity is a plus. I don’t wanna stream from it or have Bluetooth, mainly just wanna play audio files I load onto there and listen with my ear monitors. Totally fine altering hardware and software in order to get it to the point that meets what I’m looking for.
Any recommendations for this? Many thanks.
I found my Creative Nomad MuVo MP3-Player in a drawer recently. I haven’t used it in many years. I popped a rechargeable AAA battery in and it still worked like new. It’s basically a USB drive, but if you insert it into its battery compartment, it can play back music files stored on it.
Since I use smartphones, I use them now and don’t need an extra gadged for that. Still cool it lived way past its era and even retained its data, even though people told me mass storage wouldn’t be good for backups because it’s supposed to lose data after a some years. Didn’t happen here 👍
