        You can tell whether I’m posting from my phone or my desktop by whether I use a or a ?!.

        (This one was from my desktop despite the interrobang, but that’s because I could easily copy-paste yours.)

      I’m here with a usb c to 1/8" jack like a moron! The EU pushed replaceable batteries, maybe we need a headphone jack bill haha.

        Paradoxically, all cheap devices come with one, and even with an FM radio, so cheap devices actually have more stuff than high end smartphone. Also please give me an FM radio FFS, it is one of the most usueful services during emergencies and other situation, also I like listening radio thanks

          Probably because most FM stations have apps.

          Back in the dumb phone era I had some Ericson TDMA bar phone that had (very basic) web browsing and a combination FM radio/Headset adapter. I specifically remember reading live 9/11 updates on it during class.

        I LOVE the idea. I’m slowly mutating into a wired earbud audiophile (not sure what they call themselves), and the sound is just so much cleaner; plus there’s nothing to charge.

        4 hours of music on these ones!

        Mine just plug in.

      Man, the Zune was the best MP3 player experience in its day… They even had the OG music subscription service. For $15 bucks a month and then they let you keep $15 of music forever. So it was a no brainier if you’d buy an album a month anyway.

    Dude that thing is sick. I use my phone for music, and it’s okay except for the dozen spam calls I get every day interrupting it. And there’s no setting for that, of course.

      Many phones have “Do not disturb”-mode, or even airplane mode.

      You can also go into the settings and disconnect from your mobile provider if you really want peace and quiet.

        I think they mean no setting to continue playing music. Most people want to leave the phone active, no matter how annoying, in case they get something important.

        With that playlist feature that’s never been ported? Somebody posted about it here. Lets you choose a vibe from your local music, offline. Goes by BPM and something.

          I think you’re referring to Sony’s ‘SensMe’ function. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to use it because it relies on their proprietary software which isnt available for my OS. Would be great to have it baked into the device.

      For real I wish there was a way to get my phone to play only music through headphones or speaker. Any time I get a notification I want it only through my phone’s speaker and not what I’m listening to music to.

    Do you have a guide or a part list or anything? I still have my iPod I bought new in 2006 but it hasn’t seen use in many years for a slew of issues, the main one being the headphone jack itself failing, but I’d love to refresh it like this.

    Always cool to see ‘retro’ tech brought back, especially with major overhauls. Kinda wish Apple still did dedicated ‘dumb’ MP3 players, if I’m being honest.

      Bet you could manage with a microcontroller and some parts. Use a bare chip, solder it all fancy (might take a few tries, use something cheap, order in bulk, attach the big expensive drive last), print the case, etc. Bet there’s even a guide out there somewhere.

    I still got Planet of the apes on mine. They wanted people to know it can run mp4’s on that little screen.
