before i had a phone i used this guy:
https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Full-Color-SDMX22-004G-A57K-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B005FVNGRS

there's some cool alternative firmware called rockbox that is super customizable and paired with foobar everything worked very well. even was able to last.fm scrobble (with some manual steps). has a microsd slot and you can get 64gb microsds pretty cheap noadays

looks like it's more expensive than it should be since my model has been discontinued, but they look to have a newer version that I can't vouch for

It's not for me so my non existent phone isn't an option.

I had a Sandisk once and it was easy to use.

And I know nothing about ianything. lol

how much space do u need? personally i have a 128 GB iphone for the space need lol

it's weird that high capacity music players have fallen out of style, despite solid state storage becoming a lot cheaper than it used to be. i mean i guess everyone just streams their music now, but thats too much data for my tastes and i also do most of my music listening stuck in a train under the earth with no signal

most services like spotify offer workarounds for that

I mean I know they do, but I'm still not really interested in streaming, especially paying for it. I already have shitloads of jams, and while yes most of them aren't legitimate, paying an artist the equivalent of the dirt off my shoe doesn't really make me feel better about it so I'd just rather bring my already existing jam files with me.

i rather pay an artist pennies and then see them in person rather than not paying for them at all
but i could sync tunes to my iphone but like i could pay for cloud storage so i don't have to store it on my phone n_u
I have unlimited data so it doesn't incur data overages
also i like being able to stream rupaul from my phone practically anywhere connected to my tv

i mean i buy physical media and bandcamp downloads when i can't be damned to find it otherwise, but spotify streams don't even amount to pennies unless you're playing the song tens of hundreds of times over lol

but yeah i also see lotsa live acts so i can live with myself

I get premium so
I buy the artists I really like but I hate when it's digital only :(
I wish they would release in ALAC because FLAC is for wonks

Post by: C.Mongler on August 08, 2016, 11:48:28 AM
how is alac any less for wonks than flac lol
Title: Re: MP3 Player
Post by: squirrelfriend on August 08, 2016, 12:10:14 PM
it works on my iPhone while FLAC doesn't readily work
also FLAC is just energy inefficient

that's about the answer i imagined in my head when i posted that lol  AWESOME

flac may be more space efficient but it uses more power than alac decoding tbh

I'm just debating the merits of flac and ALAC on an mp3 player
You might as well listen to wav
