>Tfw you get your MP3 player out and everyone looks at you like you're insane

For poors 10 years ago? Yeah maybe.

Sony Walkman is /g/s recommended media player.

No

>>62189312
it was always shit.

Why does /g/ like this? It doesnt even have adequate power to drive a decent pair of over ear headphones and it clearly isnt meant for enjoyig anything other than 320 or lower mp3s/oggs.
FiiO players are true /g/ reccomendations. This is just for plebs who don't care about audio quality.

>>62189491
rockbox support. Rockbox makes it last seemingly forever and makes it customizable and stable as fuck.

>>62189491

>>62189580
>is there no display?
No. It trades the display for the ability to drive 600 ohm headphones, like and entire day of battery and the being able to also work as a stand alone amplifier.
>how do you know which album are you currently playing?
it plays songs in the order they were added, you can skip a whole folder or a song or even use shuffle using the buttons. It's like an old player, you cant carry 2000 songs in it, you have to select your favorites to make it maneagable.

you'd probably have more trouble finding the audiobooks than making them fit in one of those

this is apparently the same thing, its a newer product, basically same price, exact same ui, and higher quality plastic

>>62189491
Why the fuck would you use your massive power hungry over ears in the streets or on the move?

>>62189580
I'd say its a pretty good "starter" or backup player if you just want a device that will absolutely last a couple days with no questions. Audio quality cannot be beat for its price @ 30$ but like the other anon said it's not the device you would want to load with shit loads of files. I would basically just stick on audiobooks, podcasts, or very long mixes on this thing.

>>62189996
The whole point of sansa is rockbox, if rockbox doesn't support it, it's pointless.

>>62189312
get a cheap older ipod (gen 5 or older), and mod it to take flash memory. you can get boards for this from iflash.xyz that work great. then load rockbox on it and you're good to go. replacement batteries are plentiful and cheap as well, so you don't have to worry about that.

the only hard part is actually opening the ipod, but it's really not that bad with a little practice.

There's a plugin for this "Hold+"
It makes the PSP a great music device, you should still get an official PSP Headphones with Remote Control.

A Ipod Video is a better device though,Rockbox compatible, 30GB minimum, can replace the hard drive with memory sticks using a hardware mod, can replace the battery, can replace the screen, can replace the audio port and parts are cheap as fuck.

>>62190481
it can be rockbox'd so its still very decent and will last even longer

>>62190595

I'm looking on rockbox's site, I don't see this device listed.

>>62189358
>caring what other people think

Mine has lasted me for ten years both on and off the job. My battery is slowly losing max charge, but it's not bad enough yet to even worry about it. With Rockbox on it it becomes completely customizable. They're discontinued now, so expect to buy a used one or a marked up NIB one. I foresee mine lasting another ten years, easily.

>>62190199
I want it for my opus player.

It actually can't IIRC, only the X3 can.

I posted in an earlier thread that I bought this Shangling M1, but that was after cancelling an X2 I bought for cheap. Sadly the cancel didn't get through so I'm out like 30 dollars.

>>62191651
What's your review on those in ear monitors? Was going to order some

>>62191651
man the shangling is a cute player, is the battery life good? I really want a device that's not just another phone I have to worry about keeping charged

So can any of these play songs without any half second skip between them like cds or not? I know Ipods do that but I don't want one of those.

>>62191801
You can do this with rockbox.

>>62191675
Great. Was just using Co-Donguri IEMs. These are a bit more bassy and the isolation and fit is amazing. Not sure how they compare to the billion other chinkshit IEMs in the same price range but I have no complaints.

I wanted something similar to Shure SE215s but for cheap so I got these. The KZ ZS5 are hideous so I didn't want those, even though more people praise them.

>>62191713
It's supposedly around 9 hours but I haven't had a chance to use it for that long without charging.

>>62189455
would this be a good first player? I want something that will just last and play a couple of my favorite songs/podcasts

>>62191801
this is actually a technical limitation in MP3. the iPods have a workaround for this that's decent, rockbox has one that's a bit worse. your best bet is to use a different audio format, honestly.

go with FLAC or Vorbis.

Poorfag here. I'm talking mega poorfag, like poverty levels. Is there any downside to those $5 display-less mp3 players with the clip, besides audio quality?

I mean, can MP3 players really be THAT bad? all they do is play music

Yes, because it's the only one that was extensively measured.

All the other ones that allegedly "sound good" haven't been measured, so you don't know what you're getting, and what impedance headphones they will work with, etc.

>>62189312
Your smartphone probably has a better dac and amp.

>>62193679
You'd be surprised, but they objectively don't, or don't have published measurements to prove it.

And "better" is rather relative, considering that the sansa clip is good enough to be transparent within the limits of human hearing.

>>62193607
Get that walnut v2 man its just 30$ and will last a life time

>>62190252
Nah bro, I used a PSP-2000 as my mp3 player in my car. Shit was so cash.

>>62191651

Looks aesthetic af, but no way I can justify spending $150, especially when I have like 3 sansa clips lying around

I work in construction...anyone got any rugged PMP recommendations? Preferably around $100

>>62195740
>Is there any way to rockbox these things
No, you can only Rockbox certain clickwheel iPods.
>I fucking hate using itunes
Just add your music directory to iTunes's library and set up autosync, whenever you plug in your iPod it'll sync everything. Even more convenient than dragon drop.

>>62189312
I've used the A17 for a few years now, it's been able to keep p with me more so thanany other player I've used before. Walkman A17 can play music for up to 50 hours and it holds up to about 192 gigs which shits on the Ipod classic. No need for proprietary programs either, it'sjust plug and play although it does use aproprietary cable for charging and to connect to PC.

>>62197378
Its more awkward to use, you'd want to keep favorites on it, 30 files max because otherwise it would be real annoying to cycle through. But this will last a week with moderste use and sound quality sounds like more expensive players, plus the thing is a tank. But not the best if you like a ton of music

>>62189312
I still use sansa.. It's a bit shitty the lack of flac support but rockbox is alright

>>62197925
>It's a bit shitty the lack of flac suppor
wat

>>62198052
you can't play 24bit flac

>>62198126
I don't know hoy many bits is my FLAC but I already play FLAC with Sansa + Rockbox

>>62198143
rockbox does play flac but I'm having problems with setting the EQ.
Stock sansa firmware sounds better but it doesn't play 24bit flac

>>62198203
Oooh, I get it better now. I don't know because I have a really simple setting for the EQ but I think it should be some advanced option. Also try the developer instead of mainline if you want it.

>>62198349
there is an advanced option but on that tiny display is hell to set it up

>>62189312

I bought one of these.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N6MA68A

Battery life is great, controls are a tad unintuitive, sound quality is solid, but theres no gapless playback.

Basically read the review I left on it.

Theres a slightly better model for 50 quid with bluetooth and physical controls.

>>62189312
Just buy/use a phone. There's no need for dedicated music players.

>>62189996

Truth is it isn't. Shitty quality, shitty firmware. Throw in trash and get the trash out.

As a user of a touchscreen mp3 player, the lack of this pisses me off to no end.
Also that my left thumb does not make the interface react. No idea why.

>>62203364
It has actually.

>>62203364
It is no longer in production, and stopped being in production years ago.
It was 'replaced' with inferior clip models, which after several generations of downgrades have become a shadow of its once proud self.

>>62191651
What iems? Where did you get them from?

I just need something for playing audio books. Don't really care about audio quality, as long it is not too bad, and other high tech shit. It just needs a continue function.

Any recommendations?
