Does anyone use an MP3 player that they'd recommend?

@nicelady

Some brands to take a look at:

Fiio (Snowsky Echo Mini has buttons) and Hiby (the Hiby R1 has buttons and touch), Hifi Walker too.

I have a Shanling that works great, but that touchscreen gets annoying sometimes.

@nicelady #Tangara is great if you can get one. Open hardware, hand made.

@nicelady I'm not familiar with current MP3 devices, but I remember @joel talking about his device and wrote a blog about it. Maybe this will help some.

Finally, my thoughts on device I've been daily-carrying with me for more than a month!

@nicelady @Firewire I can find a decent amount of the music I listen to on Bandcamp

@nicelady

I have a few.
Sandisc clipjams for rechargeable
and a couple of Zen Nanos 1 AAA battery [not included]

@nicelady

These guys made all kinds of cool ones back in the day, I expect their cheng ones are still good. They likely still play every format on existence.

@nicelady the zen nano plus is fantastic, though its storage is only 1gb. It uses a single AAA battery, and is not much larger than the battery itself. Rechargeable AAA batteries work well in it, too. Mine still works well, and I've never considered getting rid of it.

@nicelady @jalefkowit Astell&Kern, Luxury & Precision, Hiby, Cayin, Lotoo & iBasso to name a few (various price points, sky is the limit)

Just a moment...

@nicelady i use a SanDisk clip sport plus. Also FM radio, physical buttons more or less waterproof, mini-jack even bluetooth if you want to. Funny, when I search for it I get a Wolfgang player. The SanDisk is at least 7yo..

@nicelady I have a fiio m6, runs on a modified version of android, and has 3.5mm and takes a micro sd card

[cathybikesbook@mstdn.plus]

@nicelady bought a cheap Chinese one off Amazon that I use in my car. It has Bluetooth and a 3.5mm jack. Also has a speaker.

@nicelady Cowon were very good 20 years ago and still exist, so they must still be OK.

[nicelady@theforkiverse.com]

@SnoopJ @jalefkowit I remember really wanting one of the early Sansas, they were neat!

[nicelady@theforkiverse.com]

@rhosyn @aud thanks, I was quite taken with the Fiio but I've seen a few reviews now saying navigation is a bit of a pain. I do really miss 00's tech sometimes.

[nicelady@theforkiverse.com]

Many thanks to anyone who shared or commented here. Lots of brands to look into, and it's always fun to share some tech nostalgia. I always run my tech into the ground so a bit sad that I don't have more old stuff to work with!

[woo@fosstodon.org]

@nicelady They played Ogg Vorbis files too.

[nicelady@theforkiverse.com]

@deach @Firewire yes Bandcamp is top of my list to look into more for content! Glad to hear you get on well with it

[nicelady@theforkiverse.com]

@Netux my partner lived in Korea for a while and is now campaigning for this choice!

[nicelady@theforkiverse.com]

@shwnwllms @jalefkowit some pretty aspirational choices there! Hiby might be an option, thanks for sharing

[kastasmykolas@river.group.lt]

@nicelady I was about to suggest The Tangara, but apparently it's out of order the main idea was having something open source...
