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.
Sony Walkman NW-A55. It’s a great, non-android device from a reputable brand. They make tons of versions, but they’re not available in the US. I got mine off ebay and just changed the region with a simple program (just google, it’s real easy). It has radio, a special section for language learning playback, and a ton of features for audio quality without being intrusive.
