I have a tiny Sansa Clip+ mp3 player, flashed with Rockbox, which I use with a nice pair of Bose wired earbuds. It's an incredibly low-friction device. It has physical buttons so you can operate it without looking at it. It lasts for multiple days of continuous play, and I'm not an all-day-every-day kind of listener, so I seldom worry about charging it (and wired earbuds don't need charging either). It's got a 512 gigabyte microSD card in it, so for all intents and purposes it can fit unlimited music, and copying music to it is trivial. It masses 24 grams and can sit in a top pocket without weighing it down. It exists completely independently of my phone, laptop etc, and so I always have my favorite tunes (and an FM radio) wherever I go.
Single tasking devices are great.
- jrib 3y agoSansa Clip 1 GB from 2008 still going strong here. I use it to listen to podcasts with wired earbuds while going on walks. I love the physical buttons and simple lcd screen for status. I do wish I had purchased one that accepted a microSD card like yours though. Kindle is another example of a single-tasking device I enjoy using.
- pinusc 3y agoDoes it support increasing playback speed without affecting pitch? I'd like to get a capable mp3 player that I can use for podcasts, but I need to lidten tkm some of them at 1.5x/2x. I tried an old samsung mp3 player I had lying around, but for some reason they thought implementing playback speed without adjusting the pitch was fine, so my podcasts sound like chipmunks. Needless to say, I abandoned the idea of using it.
- thefz 3y agoSame, but with a FiiO X3 I can't abandon because it has physical buttons.
