PMP usage will increase your phone's battery life, both in terms of a single charge and the overall life of the battery.

Been usong a clip zip for a few years for workouts. Is there a better alternative these days or should I just keep what I have?

I've had my AGPtek Rocker for about a week now and it's pretty great so far, interface is pretty responsive and bluetooth is reliable, unfortunately the screen is prone to scratching and the paint is starting to come off the corners from riding in my pocket.

I own an iBasso DX50

Never looked back

Quick question. I took a look at the Fiio X1 2nd Generation and it looks pretty worth if for the money. However, I know that the first generation X1 supports Rockbox, how well does the 2nd gen do?

There's no upper limit on sd card with rockbox, right? I do know that on official firmware Zip has limit because of shitty database.
What max capacity anyone tried?

Sandisk Sansa Clip+ 8GB Black
Rockbox 3.14

Official /g/ kit except for the microSD (should be 64 GB sharks)

No there isn't a limit, I've filled a 64gb with MP3s (V0 or 320).

I miss my old Clip+, you can't get them in the UK for under £65

So I'm looking at micro sd cards and want to get a 64gb one but some of these companies and fluctuating prices make me think some are not legit, anyone's had experience with some of the sketchy ones?

So what's wrong with just using your phone again?

>>60792629

Nothing exactly but the sound quality could be a bit worse, it supports less formats and the actually important part for me is the lack of dedicated physical buttons.

this is my Ruizu X02. It has a 64GB microSD card + 8GB internal storage. The player itself was $12, and the card $20. So for about 30 bucks I can play anything I want. Sounds great, haven't had the battery empty on me yet, and supports flac/ogg/mp3 which is all I care about.

Looking to replace my ipod nano 6th gen as it doesn't work on linux or have flac support.

>Budget
£100 max, less is better

>Size
not an issue as long as it fits into pockets

>Battery
15h+ while listening to flac / lossless

>Bluetooth
not a priority

>DAC
would like to have good quality audio

I would try and rockbox the ipod, but from what i read, the firmware has issues, so no rockbox support.

>>60794668
You are probably better off just finding a used android phone with an sd card slot

>>60794832

Same here. One of my best purchase ever. I started using Spotify premium not so long after so I don't use it that much but when I do it's always a pleasant surprise.

Definitely, and if I could use it with any ol' media player, I'd still be using it now. The thing still works, just not for me.

I bought mine way before the FiiO started making their own music players

I've been fiddling with a Sansa Clip with Rockbox on it, but haven't really used it much.
Is there anyway correct tracklistings without doing it manually? Everything is displayed in alphabetical order! Using Music Bee as well.

The Clip+ was meant to be a replacement for my old ipod classic, but i'm not that impressed and don't really see why it's so hyped. Wish I went for a Fiio.

I tried to answer that in OP but I will repost for you:

>dedicated devices are subjectively more comfortable when:

>-you want a dedicated player with a large storage capacity
>-you want a small player for physical activities
>-you want a dedicated player in situations where you don't want your phone tied to any cords

Additionally:

-situations where you want to interface with a dedicated player without removal from pocket *(sansa clip + for example is very easy to use as an excercise player because of it's small profile and dedicated function buttons

-situations where you want to carry a large storage device with you that can double as a music player

what does Sansa do now that the Clip+ is discontinued? nothing?

I still have my Zune HD 16gb, but it doesn't really see use (Fiio X1 w/64 sdxc takes care of bidness). Zune was my favorite layout/formfactor of all time, though. If only it didn't rely on that fucking software and MS hadn't killed it...actually, does anyone know if the Zune designers/engineers went to another company? Is there a legacy for the lil' not-iPod that almost could?

>>60800601
Sandisk still makes several variants of it, there's the Clip Jam which is basically a cheaper and shittier Sansa Clip meant for kids, the Clip Sport which is basically the same PMP they've been selling for years, and the Clip Sport Plus which is water resistant and adds Bluetooth, but removes expansible storage. You can still find them at Best Buy hidden away in the Third Party iPod accessories section.

I have two Clip Sport Pluses and they're quite good despite the lack of SD card support, BT is high quality and the interface is nice and easy, battery life is like 22 hours without BT and 6 hours with BT, just a shame there's no Rockbox for the new ones.

that's honestly on the cheap side for a nice PMP. there are quite a few over $1000. so yes, for "audiophile features" it really is more expensive than just using a phone. cheap chink PMPs have gotten pretty good though.

>>60802563
I revived my own psp-3k and was considering having it double as a pmp, but it's still a bit too hefty for that purpose.
I like the idea of a pmp, but hard to justify. Always nice to have my phone when I go out in case SHTF and even at the gym I can look up form and whatever else. Guess UNIX philosophy loses out to practicality here.

Does rockbox manage play counts? That's incredibly important to my playlists.

If it does, does it support transfering that information from iTunes? That would be the only reason I suck Apple's dick. Dat iPod touch is slick.

>>60794569
but why?

>>60801228
you can install rockbox on it, so yeah.

>>60802558
That's really not that bad. Mine was 99 "used" in mint condition.
Believe me I think that given the near always clunky interfaces, not usually amazing battery life, and lack of certain common features, most of today's PMPs are fucking overpriced shit. If A&K players were made during the iPod wars they'd have tried for more competitive pricing.
Unfortunately the "audiophile" community will buy 2000 dollar players and 3000 dollar headphones and 250-1000 dollar DAC/amplifiers and say "wow that's cheap!" like Patrick Bateman at the Dorcia....

>>60798569
fiio, xduuo.

Don''t listen to phone plebs.

In fact companies are still making pmp for the high end audiophile market, so they tend to be quite expensive but there's new stuff being made.

It's become more a niche market.

Top tier iPhone holds 256GB. As for Android, there are at least a few models with 128GB options, I don't know about 256GB, I haven't paid attention to the phone market in years, but many of course have microSD card slots, which means that they support a max of 384GB currently, and since they support SDXC they'll be upgradeable to up >2TB as time goes on.

My current player is the xduoo x10

Sounds very nice, good battery and can hold 2x256gb cards but the software is kind of shit.

I will probally upgrade at some point soon.

I noticed your link last thread and have already ordered all the chinese things two days ago. I even managed to get the same msata adapter from amazon. I hope the chinks don't dupe me. Now i have to wait a month until it arrives. Battery is already here but I'm afraid of opening up that ipod too often.

Away from home, I usually listen to music in my car, where I just plug an usb stick in the radio. When I go for a walk all I need is an hour or two of music, 512MB is enough for that in mp3 format.

My friend bought this horrible thing on AliExpress for 2 dollars as a joke and it sounded pretty mediocre of course. It broke within a week of acquisition but not before we found out that it can actually operate as a DAC/USB interface....

Looking for something cheap (<$40) that is clippable and has a screen. Want it for working out.

Alternatively, something cheap with bluetooth that isn't total garbage.

I don't listen to FLAC and use cheap bluetooth headphones while working out, and probably wouldn't notice if the quality was dogshit.

Sure is senpai

Here is a list in order of use since about 2008. Hopefully it'll give you an idea of what to get next.

- Walkman S639F (2008)
- iPod Classic 160GB (just generally shit) (2010)
- Walkman S639F (2010)
- Samsung Galaxy S3 (2012) (did not enjoy using a phone)
- Walkman S639F (2012)
- Sansa Clip+ (battery died within a year) (2014)
- Fiio X1 (2014) (did not sound very good, awful UI and would freeze up a lot)
- Walkman S639F (2014)
- Fiio X5 (2015) (too bulky to be considered portable, sounded great though)
- Walkman S639F (2015)
- Walkman NWZ-A15 (current)

I tried moving away from the S639F in 2010 because I needed more storage, but I always ended up going back to it. After 9 years (and pretty much daily use) the battery is starting to lose a bit of charge, but it still holds over 25 hours easy. In the end, I just decided to get another Sony device with expandable storage, and so far so good.

tl;dr buy Sony

>>60809305
So it could have sounded good then ?

Anyone have any thoughts on the NW-A35? I've been wanting to purchase it for a little while now.

My iPod touch Gen 3 is lasting so damn long. Not sure when it's gonna shit on me but I'm afraid of it happening.

It is.

My classic died when I got my first smartphone years ago. Was only matter of time to get more storage in a phone than the classic, but guess what? Now time has come.

The classic is fucking dead, stop using shit devices and justifying the whole wheel experience.

This is correct, Apple sadly doesn't make clickwheel iPods anymore.

I've nothing to justify, I genuinely enjoy using the clickwheel.
>Hell, have you ever tried to hold 256gb on a SSD?

No it doesn’t, rockbox is a fucking messy piece of shit that corrupts itself when the database is bigger that 250gb. When it does you have to re-index the whole library taking an awesome and totally fun amount of 1+2 hours depending on your SSD!
The bug has been present and reported for ages, but what were you expecting? Has been years without any kind of rockbox update, hell even the themes library has been frozen for years.

Want to hear music? Would be a shame if you have to wait 2 hours because fuck you! That’s why!

Stock firmware with 256GB? Ha. NO SUPPORT.
Apple doesn’t have a reason to fix a resources leak when the iPod was never intended to reach that capacity. If the iPod doesn’t kill the partitions randomly you are stuck with an exquisite 5fps scrolling experience.

>>60812052
It's very good, has a few gimmicks like NFC and Bluetooth but they are easily turned off. It sounds fantastic. It's easily one of the better Walkmans as of late.
I was torn between getting the A-15 and A-35 (the newer touch screen model). I landed on the A-15 since it seems the A-35 has a lot of features removed and saved for their more 'premium' Z series range.

>>60806604

I know that the Zune software still works, but I prefer being able to just Drag+Drop, and not having to fuck with a media library updating just to put new music on a player. It's the same reason that I never cared for iTunes or Sony's SonicStage. The integration with the Xbox 360 was great, though. I'd come home from work, plug it in to charge and just stream my music straight from the Zune with no issues. I had occasional problems with the Media Center functionality, but never with the Zune.

Didn't see another audio thread (maybe I'm blind), so I figured I'd ask here.

I'm looking for a nice, compact, all-in-one home player. I don't really care about 8-track, records, or anything like that (though it is a bonus), but I do need it to be able to play radio, cassettes, and bluetooth. CDs are a plus, but not required.

Aldi has pic related on special for £30 right now and I was thinking of picking one up, but the cassette playback is apparently trash. Thoughts?

Had one of these for the last 3 or 4 years. It's pretty good all around, I'm not an audiophile though. The one issue is the wheel, it's never been great but for a long time now it's basically been un-usable; it skips all over the place and sometimes doesn't react at all. I use the buttons for playing and sorting through music but you're forced to use the wheel in the settings menus and this can be a huge ballache, not that I have any need to adjust those often. I've never had a smartphone so I've always had ipods (back in the 00s) and then a Clip Zip.

What to replace this with? I sort my music by artists only, I don't use playlists or anything and I just want something that can take an SD card, play every common type of file and sound good.

>>60819788

I have one of these dirt-cheap $2 very small players so I'll share to give you girls an idea of what they are like.

The audio quality is actually just fine. It really is just fine with any headphones you'd wear outside, perhaps you could hear some difference with expensive headphones these can't power anyway.

The two major downsides with these players are:

1) They will only read .mp3 files. They just won't read anything else. I like to use flac and m4v aac and opus and mp3 (if I got it lossy I keep it in that lossy format). I need to make a "special" SD cards with everything in MP3 for this little player. Navigating is also kind of hard so I use dirt-cheap 4GB SD cards (just because it's easier to swap SD cards than navigate around).

2) Battery life is effectively around two hours. This really isn't enough for a lot of things. This is a real problem with this player. You can charge it, walk to the gym, work out and walk home and it'll probably die before you get home. It's totally perfect for everything that requires a very small and very light player for something like an hour. I can use my phone or something bigger walking to and from the gym and have more than enough battery life in this thing while at the gym.. but it really is limited to that kind of usage.

I guess you could drag a powerbank around but then you might as well just drag a bigger player along.

I'm kinda confused by that guide. That battery doesn't look like it will fit in the ipod. Are the aftermarket ones of the stock size in larger capacities? I couldn't find any above 850mAh.

>>60827574
HAHAHAHA!!

Yes, Sandisk still makes very good MP3 players with a clip. Try the Clip Sport Plus, it's about $50, comes with 16 gb of storage, is splashproof and has BT.

Ok got a bit of a problem with mine, I got it talking with linux but every time I sync something with it the songs I just put there show up as unknown artist. I'm trying to figure out how it syncs the artist. I pulled some old music I had put on there with the zune software years ago and it seems to have some strange data embeded in it. But I have no idea how to even read this data fully.

Anyone have any idea what to do? there is like zero info on this around.

No, fuck you hipster.
>>60827622
I don't do either of those things.

>>60827778
This has nothing to do with being a hipster, dumbass.

Fuck you m8 I loved the software.

I mean it may have something to do with all of the .art files in a folder called artists on the hd that are all zero size and I can't seem to download them off the device. I have no idea what they would be used for. Does anyone know any place that might be able to help me out with this?

Ordered the xduoo X3 on redditdrop. Did I get chinked? Also, what are some good chink IEM's. I might as well complete the aesthetic.

this should be /dap/ unless people are still using analog devices in here

Is there a generally decided upon all around best portable device? I've still got my stock 5th gen iPod. Rarely need portable music, but I'm interested to know what all the options are. Is there a chart for this?

>>60828459
Nah, PMP gets the point across fine. Also I do use a cassette player here and there.

>>60828495
You've already got the best device.

>>60828534
>You've already got the best device.

Is a market this big really this under-served? It's been over a decade.

>>60828557
Sure there have been plenty of attempts at successors, but Apple nailed it.

My Clip+ battery is degrading. I just upgraded to 3.14 and by the looks of it that should help, but it's going to die one day and I don't know what the fuck to replace it with. I'm almost considering just forking over $100 for another one.

Have any Clip+ fans moved on and found something that filled the void?

>>60828683
It's a Li-ion battery. You replace it with another Li-ion battery.

>>60793050
did you get a shark or some other microsd?

i also have the x02 with a 64gb shark and its pretty primo
shame about the prices on sharks now, would like to get a bigger card for it

Make a new thread but include phone music apps as well

implying the music you want is fucking bullshit.

Still using Benjie S5 only with a full charge 1 week of music, flac, ogg, mp3, and smaller as a clip, simply perfect

>>60827708
I've got the same problem. It appears to pick up the album okay, but not artist.

>>60784885
my phone does that

>>60830262
Congrats
