      It’s better than ipad anyway. You just stick it in to load music onto it, you don’t need iTunes or a cable, and it’s nore compact too. I miss those simple devices.

        I remember way back in the day helping a friend back up their stuff. I never had used an iPod before and plugged theirs in to their computer expecting to be able to just use the file browser to get to it, like common sense would dictate. That’s the day I discovered Apple doesn’t really do common sense.

        You can still buy 'em on AliExpress for example (I got the RUIZU MP3 player without a screen for 20€). If you are a sound nerd or hifi enthusiast you can get one that connects to a Bluetooth DAC (like the fiio for example) for super sound.

        It’s kind of quiet in a way to just push play and knowing exactly what you’ll get (no hiccups, no commercials, no “you maybe’ll like this new song Spotify stuff”…).
