My old iPod classic is dying. Sound only comes out of one headphone and syncing it to my PC is a nightmare where I need to hit the start and center button 2 or 3 times for the computer to read it. I love the simplicity of it and that I can work in my garden and it doesn't matter if it gets dirty, or if I plug it into speakers I don't have everything get interrupted when I get a text. I was an early adopter of podcasts and subscribe to about 30 of them so I always have something new to listen to even if I can't get it streamed in. I guess that I have been doing podcasts the same way for about 12 years, but I like having an actual downloaded file. I am converting my old Galaxy 3 to a stand alone music player and it will be fine. As a bonus I can move into this decade and download via wifi and use Bluetooth, but I won't have a phone or data plan for it. All is good except I forgot how much bloatware Verizon put on it. It seems that the only way to remove it is to root it. Does anyone have any good suggestions? All I see is links that have been dead for years and sketchy things that I'm supposed to download onto my computer.

Get a decent micro usb card for all your mp3, for podcasts you are guaranteed to not use up a data plan since the only possibility is WiFi. I still miss my iPod classic clickwheel. What an elegant machine. But my old android phone can do bluetooth, videos, and youtube and it's never interrupted with a text or call.
