Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley by @flwwhtrbt

There was a time when carrying your entire music library in your pocket felt futuristic. The ‘iPod era’. Drag-and-drop MP3 folders, carefully curated playlists, album art that may or may not have been the right resolution. It was messy, offline, personal, and somehow better because of it....

There have been many technological advances in my lifetime that I'd recognize as important, but only one is my favorite.

The fact that this magical device was only in production for seven years and has never been replaced or equaled in the marketplace just proves that capitalism is crap. Such a joy to have something so beautifully perfect in function.

It doesn't really meet all your points, but I wanted to share my first mp3 player, with a massive 128 megabytes of storage! The only thing it really lacks is a removable memory card. But it DID have a microphone, and I used it to record my first podcasts on!

Fedi, who do you know who's the vintage MP3 player expert? I'm asking Fedi because I have certain expectations and requirements that only Fedi can fill. I'm looking specifically to hear from That One MP3 Player Person, here. There's definitely an era of Peak MP3 Player, the same way e-ink ereaders peaked in 2007-2008 in the Just Before Touchscreens Ruined Everything era - there's definitely an aluminium-body clicky-buttoned MP3 player that Just Plays MP3s and is tactiley perfect and beautiful in every way and probably unobtainum except with eBay and patience, and I want to know about it from The MP3 Player Expert. I want the person with a display shelf full of MP3 players to infodump at me about when the buttons disappeared and everything carcinized into a phone and made them sad. I expect this person will tell me to look for something in the late aughts to early teens and know the part number for a replacement battery. If this is you, please give me a link to your website, and feel free to show me your socks as well because I expect they're cool as hell. No need to tell me you use your phone for music or tell me the MP3 player that you already own is good, I don't care. I want to find The Vintage MP3 Player Person With Heavily Considered Opinions, and ask them questions that only they will be able to answer. I need the MP3 Player Librarian. I feel in my heart that this person is here on the Fediverse somewhere. UPDATE: it's only been 5 minutes haha, alright here's what I want: * no apple or apple-wannabe * plug it in and it shows up as a USB drive, I won't install software * takes SD or MicroSD * just plays MP3s * no touchscreen * no capacitive controls * preference: steel or aluminium UPDATE: ipods are apple, I specifically don't want apple, I already know about ipods thx UPDATE UPDATE: editing the question to make it more obvious that I'm looking for a person not a thing here, I don't want to know about your MP3 player, I want to know where the Vintage MP3 Player Wizard dwells UPDATE 4: looking into Sony players around the tail end of the minidisc era, also this wee lad looks like a decent "modern" equivalent: https://binarydigit.city/a-simple-digital-audio-player/

Damn, I kinda hate to say this, but #samsung makes absolute bangers when it comes to bundled songs, especially for their #mp3players

The Zune is a killer mp3 player despite the crap it got. I LOVED my Zune.

I got a bit sad just now - on this early 2000s Dell I re-set up the other day, there's some old Zune art files on it. Some jerk broke my car window and took my Zune from my car when I lived in Florida probably ~2006. I had a beautiful brown one like the one below, and I'd still have it today if that dick hadn't taken it.

I WILL buy another one someday. 🔥
