I want to get less reliant on my phone and go out more without it. One of the big use cases for my phone is music.
I have a lot of local music files and I would like to transfer them to a mp3 player. I would prefer something offline that I can drag files too. Also Bluetooth would be a plus so I can continue to use my earbuds.
Something easy to navigate would be ideal too. Basically like what iPods were like with a small screen where you can navigate easily and see album artwork.
If you enjoy the iPod classic format, there’s tons of second hand ones that you can flash software onto for a more modern experience. Lots of aftermarket parts for customization and upgrades like battery and shell. I don’t recall the exact model year but you can search for iPod classic upgrades and there will be tutorials out there for it.

I have a gen 5 with 1TB storage and a larger battery. My only complaint is the connector. I’ll replace it with USB-C eventually.
