Sony Walkman.
It’s wild that 40+ years after they pretty much invented the portable music player, people need to be reminded that they still exist
The NW-a30 I bought years again sounds exactly like what you are looking for. The software is not android, it’s snappy and intuitive and Sony has decades of experience making these devices
- jbushell 3y agoThe newer Walkman models seem to all just be android skins unfortunately.
- antisthenes 3y agoI just looked at the choices. An 8gb for $79 (why is 8gb of storage still a thing when stores are giving away 32gb flash drives for free?) or a $799 player that costs more than my phone and desktop computers combined. Nah. This ain't it.
- em-bee 3y agothe most important use of my phone is to play audio. to the point that i almost considered getting a pinephone so that i could run something else besides android and get a better FOSS audio player (and a keyboard). but i decided against it because it was just a bit to expensive for what it offers. now if only i could find a decent FOSS audio player for android. it is critical that the player interface orders files by directory structure and displays the filename because a lot of audiobooks and audio drama series or podcasts use the series title in all files and don't have a file specific title (and those that do mess it up by not having episode or chapter numbering. this often makes the individual chapters/episodes indistinguishable from each other. unfortunately most available audio players assume that the title is enough to pick a file, but that really only works for songs, not audio books, audio drama or podcasts. sorry for the rant.
