/mu/ - Music

I've always just used my laptop, personally. Some people use their smartphones, since you can get apps that play flac/wav/etc. How opposed are you to having a tyrannical corporate-imposed tracking device?

My phone has really shit battery life, I've tried different batteries, messing with the Battery Saver options and it just doesn't work for me. I have a job where I can listen to music while I work which is why I'm asking in the first place. I'm on my feet moving around as well so a laptop was out of the question.

get a better phone. you can get a great one for like $300 if you don't buy Samsung or Apple

Sony Xperia

If you absolutely must have a shitty ass dated mp3 player, get a sansa clip.

The clip is fucking amazing though

I recently bought an Intenso Music Walker, for MP3s and WMAs. It can't browse large music libraries, it seems.

I Use an AGPTEK Clip, it can play any file format and use an sd card up to 64gb

Have a guide.

Or

If you don't care about screen get a zishan z2 it's like 25euro nowadays

I have an AGPTEK A02S. It's fine, and fairly cheap. Don't buy into the hype of a lot of hi-res players, the prices a lot of companies want for them is extortionate.

If it can't run rockbox you shouldn't use it. Get a xduoo x3

Good luck finding one for a reasonable price these days.

solid list you got there anon :^)

I've added Rockbox to my Sansa, and I agree it's a reasonable OS, as opposed to every other thing I've tried, which have been written and coded by madmen who were probably deaf as well as company shills.

But there's not much out there, hardware wise, that will run it. The sansa clip and I guess the xduo? Somebody needs to port Rockbox to the Pi zero or the Teensy 2, or 3.

Those lithium batteries are WAY too precious to waste on rendering digital music. Lead-acid in the form of AAs, please. Let my phone be a phone*.

*well, and an ssh client, maybe a web browser. But not an eBook reader because again, there's dedicated hardware out there, as well there should be.
