Oooh that’s cleverrr… Great job! Definitely coulda used this technique a few times in the past if I’d ever thought of it

Pretty sure you’ve misread. That was not a quote of what they said, it was a suggestion of what they should say.

Maybe so! If you do pick one up, you’ll have to tell us how it goes, I’m curious

I guess it’s not for everybody, but for my specific context it’s pretty great. I think if I did have a phone with expandable storage, a 3.5mm jack, and still had an unlockable bootloader I could run Graphene/Lineage/Postmarket/etc on, it could probably replace the music player easily enough. I’d probably still end up eating a lot more battery that way though

• Better quality DAC
• Don’t have to drain my phone’s battery
• My music collection is big enough to fill my phone’s storage, and they don’t come with SD card slots anymore
• Smaller and lighter than a phone
• Definitely will last way longer and is easier to
• My phone doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack 😭

That’s everything I can think of right now

There’s actually a pretty cool community sort of tangentially related to this! [email protected]

Anyway, my pick is definitely just a GOOD mp3 player. Whether that be an open hardware one you can crack open and repair, a proprietary one that can at least be Rockboxed, or bare minimum a proprietary one with a good iFixit rating.
