I think the SanDisk Clip line of MP3 players still have a place in today's marketplace.

zune may not have been first mp3 player, but microsoft was the first to do it right. the zune 30 and 80 were a one-two punch of ownage that dominated the competition, but unfortunately perhaps too late. the mp3 player market's zenith, the zune 80, launched alongside the iphone, and by then a new era had begun

I really liked my Zune 80. Honestly, it was executed almost perfectly. I probably used it from like 2007-2012, when micro SD cards finally got large enough to hold my spergy-rear end hand-janitored music colletion. The Zune 'premium' earbuds were really good too. Also reposting this here because I derailed the security thread with it:  whoever guessed that I was listening to bedrock - heaven scent was correct

actually that is the only thing i dont like about my fuze. for some reason it had a huge stupid multipin connector on the player end that is no doubt proprietary. thank god manufacturers finally figured out that saving money with a widely available standard port (that firs well on mobile devices) is way better than the few pennies you collect from ~*~bespoke~*~ power and data cables

MP3-CD players are even better. my mom's old car could play them, but its hardware could only handle "tracks" with numbers from 1 to 99 which is like, half or less of what you can actually fit on a CD so you were limited by the fact that it couldn't handle more than two digits

i had a nice alpine deck that did that. when i figured out how to navigate folders it was a magic moment. also 10 albums means you can leave for a weekend and have plenty of music and never swap a disc. way better than cd sleeves or cases. course now you can just play any album you want at any time with little more than a search, so

It had a usb port so you could just plug in a memory stick with all your music. I got a 128gb stick and put my whole collection on there, and the built-in music player app just created one long playlist with 80,000 tracks sorted alphabetically by filename. It also had no search function

10 years of owning lovely mp3 players: a retrospective 20gb creative zen nomad in 2001 was the poo poo. i used it until around 2004 when the hard drive died and i sold it on ebay for $80  in 2004 bought i bought an 8gb creative zen micro. suited my needs very well. i decided that I no longer needed to carry around a hdd with every mp3 i owned on it  2007 the sperg urge kicked in again and i bought a 80gb zune. everyone at work rightfully made fun of me for it because iphones had been around for a while by now. i kept it until 2011 when the hard drive died. this time i bought my first smartphone, the Apple iPhone 4s. how freeing it was no longer needing to carry around a separate dedicated phone and mp3 player. since then i have never looked back.

i bought one of these in 2005 it was p good at the time as it would allow me to just dump music into it like a flash drive. the 128 mb of stroage was a limiting factor so i put a 2 gb sd card inside and it was then p awesome. all it needed was 1 aaa battery and it would last me usually through the whole week--i kept rechargeable batteries for this thing then the battery cover broke from my removing it all the time so i replaced it with a 30 gb ipod and then wondered why i liked that benq garbage to begin with--minus the itunes poo poo

10 years ago i was using a rio karma, the proest of mp3 players at the time (and for quite a long time after it was discontinued/rio was bought by sigmatel) * user interface was shockingly good, scroll wheel thing owned (except for when it broke) * 20GB made me king nerd in high school compared to all the plebs with 256MB flash players or minidisc players (lol) * could play motherfucking ogg vorbis and FLAC natively!! think i had a single random chemical brothers in .ogg for some reason, that was all i ever used ogg for * bitching docking station, would glow blue when in use and could be set to pulse to music * docking station had a loving ETHERNET PORT, yes i could network my goddamn mp3 player and use some janky java applet to transfer files from lunix if i so desired (i did not) *  GAPLESS MOTHERFUCKING PLAYBACK IN 2003    and for a billion years after it was the only goddamn thing to natively support gapless mp3 playback, fukken apple didn't get do gapless until idk 2011, 2012? anroid can still have gapless issues lmaobuild quality was utter poo poo though, i went through two karmas and several times had to do surgery on the damned things to keep them working eventually it got too old and lovely, then for a while i didn't have anything, then i got a sansa clip+ which i installed rockbox on now i have a 64GB iphone and everything is just dandy

Panty Saluter posted:dat docking station i forgot the dock also had RCA lineout  re: gapless playback works4me on my iphone?? anroid does gapless but (as i learned the hard way when i stupidly tried switching from iphone) manufacturers sometimes do dumb poo poo and override certain things. had a sony z3c where anything that used the native android audio playback stuff wouldn't do gapless, but apps which had their own poo poo could. anroid lol!! and then there's always rockbox, though supported players are as always few and far between. rockbox can't be installed on the newest sansa clips and the old ones are now fetching a premium on ebay. idk what the current player of choice is these days, maybe some fiio thing?

SO DEMANDING posted:i forgot the dock also had RCA lineout samsungs stock player sure as poo poo isnt gapless, which is a shame because its a nice player otherwise. may have to poke around the play store i tried rockbox on my fuze a while back and was very underwhelmed. too many nested options for poo poo 3 spergs care about, tiny font, had to rebuild lists as you browse, volume control must have been a 64 bit integer because you had to spin the wheel like crazy to make any appreciable adjustment 2 steps forward, 30 steps back. the open sores experience
