Anyone here use a dedicated non apple mp3 player?
no.
Literally why
>>51682788
because smart phones and apple products are stupid
>>51682808
Even dumbphones have integrated mp3 players
>>51682763
Yes, Sansa clip + with SD card.
>>51682816
Mine doesn't. Plus it has no real storage space.
I still use my fuze+ with an SD card.
Yes. I bought 5 shuffle clones for the gym and cycle through them when they run out of battery. Better than replacing my clip+ every 3 months due to sweat. They were $1.80 each from china and get 6-8hr on a charge.
get spotify you poorfaggot
>>51682869
>paying to have someone else serve DRM streams to you
Just run your own server.
Yes, I have OP's pic a Sansa Clip+ with Rockbox. I usually just use it for my commute because I don't like using my phone for music.
>>51682838
You mean these little shits? I got one of these for under a dollar a while ago and its nice but no shuffle kills it
>>51682763
>mp3
Deprecated format, use Opus.
Used pic related for a long time, then I got a smartphone.
It was a nice device, all compact and shiny.
>>51682878
>run a server wasting electricity, bandwidth just to host music for my own which in the end would cost more than spotify
>pay £5 like a normal person and have access to nearly every song I could ever want to listen
Only one option is autistic, and it's not the latter.
>>51682916
>which in the end would cost more than spotify
No it wouldn't. The electricity costs are almost nil since a headless server can idle using very little power. LIkewise, you can use lower bitrate opus to use less bandwidth for the same quality that spotify gives you. It would save you money.
>>51682763

>>51682788
Not to drain the battery on your phone during long commutes, for example.
To have more physical keys.
Depending on the phone and on the pmp, to have better quality/more storage.
There, already three reasons, would you look at that.
>>51682888
>shuffling your music
No, because I play FLACs on my phone.

>>51683509
reminds me of a dupont lighter for some reason
Still using my Zune 120 from 2008.
Using it daily, doesn't waste my smartphone battery, also more storage.
Had to change the battery 6 months ago, now it's as good as new.
I'm still using my Sansa Clip+ to listen to some of my FLACs and OPUS music.
The problem is that it's pretty old and the headphone connector is starting to fail. Is there any new player good enough for me to buy?
It's also cool to have one that connects to the internet and maybe use music streaming apps.
I know I can buy a smartphone, but I like to have a device only to listen to music.
>>51683917
Essentially this, the one problem with my Clip Zip is that I can't put Spotify on it and it's kind of annoying to dig out my microUSB cable any time I want to put podcasts on it.
>>51682888
These would be better if they werent limited to 4gb cards.
>>51683917
This i would also like one with bluetooth.
Any idéias?
>>51683814
I'm still using the original 30gb brown zune. I think its a great device, and zune software is actually really nice, whereas itunes continues to fall into a bottomless bit of functionality and ui issues. zune just werks
Its really too bad that discontinued it, I think if anybody had a foot in on the industry of hifi flac players it was microsoft.
>>51682763
Was using a Sansa Clip and Sennheiser IEMs before I knew they were a /g/ meme
Wow no other FiiO users? X3 2nd gen here, great bang for the buck in a DAP

>mp3 player
>mp3
>thinking quality is better than a smart phone
My clip+ is on the fritz. Resetting the software both stock and rockbox does nothing. It's had a hard life.
What can I properly replace it with?
Yes. Rockbox'd Clip+ with 32GB microsdhc card.
I had some minor UI trouble with it during the summer. Changing the theme fixed it some how.

People will probably just assume it's a science project.
>>51685745
You don't know people very well.
Remember clockmed?
>>51685788
That's because his name was Ahmed.
>>51685154
That sounds like a fun project, all the hardware is already there.
How long would the battery last if I play music on linux without an X server?
An LCD dot matrix display would be nice.
>>51682763
i'd rather get a cheap smartphone with expandable storage
How good is the DAC on the sansa? Is it audiophile quality?
>>51686195
Stop falling for audiophile bullshit. The DAC is fine. You either convert the digital to analog or you don't.
>>51682905
I had the 2GB model in silver.
Absolutely solid player, but I sold it because 2GB was literally nothing.
All sony had to do is make a version of this with expandable memory, and yet they never did.
>>51682896
Opus plays like shit on all players, and this is coming from someone who keeps a second copy of their library in opus for playback on rockbox.
70kbps opus sounds fine for portable listening, but the software keeps doing weird things like skipping the first 5 seconds of the song.
>>51685552
I'm a big fag
>>51686229
You've clearly never compared DACs before.
>>51686385
What's your phone like?
Any of these with Spotify with flac support too and a good audio card?
>>51686411
I've compared different DACs different onboard sound systems and it all sounds exactly the same. Show double blind tests or go back to headfi.
Are they are any players that support offline scrobbling on last.fm?
Because only rockbox players seem to have that.
>>51682916
> wasting electricity
The raspberry pi doesn't run x86
> bandwidth
LOL
>>51686446
Mate, even comparing onboard audio to something as pedestrian as a xonar on orchestral music the onboard can't handle it.
Go to hell, troll.
>>51686492
Okay buddy. Enjoy your audiophile rocks, cable elevators, and whatever else brings out the "sparkle" in your music.
>>51686516
>make stupid claim
>someone disagrees with me and posts why
>OH MY GAWD DAMAGE CONTROL
>>51682905
I had the black 8gb version w/ speakers in the back. It lasted a good 6 years before the audio jack went all like "bbbzzzt" and made annoying ass pop sounds every few seconds.
>>51686542
No, you just have zero understanding of circuits. For example here >>51686492 you say
>even comparing onboard audio to something as pedestrian as a xonar on orchestral music can't handle it.
This is stupid because it implies that it actually matters what kind of music you play through your DAC and that there are different levels of "handling it."
>>51685123
I've been meaning to get the X1, but every time I remember "oh yeah, I wanted to get this" happens to be right after I pay all of my bills for the month. Maybe down the line I'll finally snag one.
>>51686594
You're so delusional, it's hilarious. You've gone full retard.
Don't get why SanDisk doesn't just keep making the Clip+. They've got name recognition AND proven measurements, and they're just messing with the formula instead of just chilling and watching the money flow in.
>>51686691
They really didn't care about those things.
They just mashed several inexpensive components together to make a tiny jogger friendly player to compete for the ipod shuffle bracket.
The fact that it was a solid player with solid hardware was purely coincidental.
I've been using an 8GB Sansa Fuze for years.
Would kind of like to get a new dedicated portable audio player, but the market has kind of disappeared in the last several years.
i have the one in op, one of the best buys on my life desu
>>51686262
>Opus plays like shit on all players
I have no issues whatsoever in my Sansa Clip+.
100% of my music is opus 128kbps vbr.
>but the software keeps doing weird things like skipping the first 5 seconds of the song.
If it helps, i had this issue when running the dev version of rockbox, stable works perfectly.
There was also an issue with some opus files crashing if they had album art in the metadata, removing the album art would fix that.
Yeah, I thought I'd use it but I don't. Sansa Clip+ Rockboxed.
I use Poweramp on my phone to manage my collection.
>>51686739
From a business perspective, that makes it even less logical to keep muddling the brand with these New Coke improvements.
Shit, they don't even really need to spend money on the firmware, just open it up to Rockbox natively and get the open source love. It's like everybody's trying to give SanDisk money against their will.
>>51685611
>>51685122
Is this as good as the Clip+, sound quality wise?
Can I still rockbox it?
Can I put an SD in it

>>51687299
Last I heard, Rockbox wasn't as stable in the Clip Zip as on the Clip+. Have they sorted that out?
Do MP3 players still exist? I thought everyone used their phones/spotify now.
>>51687372
basically
>>51687389
none of my music is available on spotify and i'm not paying monthly to stream music when i can just download it
>>51687372
It has some serious issues with the USB. Shit crashes like 50% of the time when you plug it in. The Stable classification is a joke, just use the developer builds, they actually have less bugs most of the time.
>>51687389
>no parametric EQ for android
This is the only reason i'm using a portable media player.
8GB. Touch controls. Little screen. Basic functions... FM radio, voice record etc. Can actually open text files also. It was £20 almost 8 years ago, battery still last roughly 8 hours.
>>51683442

Best I've had yet despite its age. I have a clip sport too and it fucking sucks in comparison.
Rockbox is foobar-tier
>>51685123
can it scrobble
pls respond
>>51688040
not him, but I could hear through walls with my Cowon J3. also people on other rooms sometimes clearer than my own ears.
the mic was boss.
Sometimes I use my Clip+ to play music on the stereo at my job, but I don't have an SD Card for it right now.
Also Android phones are fucking horrible at playing music. The only player worth using is PowerAmp and even that is shit. Not to mention the 15 step volume. Fucking awful.
>>51688164
Foobar is shit though.
>>51682827

I've just listened to a couple of tracks and I like it.
>>51682763
Scored these for less then $15
>>51688040
If was decent on my old iriver, at least no fucking noise, that fucking noise, it resembles coil whine. Sansa - never again.
I'm an mp3 player addict. Been using a Clip+ for years, got a Clip sport recently, Got a shuffle knockoff from china for $2 and my Ruizu x02 just came today. Dedicated mp3 players are the best.
The Clip+ used to be my main device for podcast listening, but now I do all of my podcast stuff on my phone. Antennapod is so good, I just stream the newest podcasts over wifi/4g. It's much more convenient than syncing to my computer.
Can anyone recommend one with good audiobook support. Maybe one running android so I can use Smart Audiobook Player.
>>51690039
>good audiobook support
Sansa Clips and iPods are great for audiobooks
>Maybe one running android
your phone
>>51690065
Thanks I'll have to look into getting a sansa or an old iPod. I've been using a 7 inch tablet as my music player and it is a bitch to carry everywhere.
>>51690177
yeah, believe me when I say it. I'm an avid podcast and occasional audiobook listener who has used both. IMO, the stock Sansa Clip firmware has better bookmarking functionality than the Rockbox firmware that everybody is going to recommend to you.
>>51690377
Thanks I used to have rockbox on my nano g2
>>51682763
I used to carry up to four devices in my pocket to do the same things I do with a smartphone now. I fucking hate these shitty, dumbed down facebook tard smartphones they make now, but not enough to go back to that.
Plus I use streaming services anyway.
>>51683047
sansa clip can play FLAC even without Rockbox
/g/ sure changed a lot in just a year. I'm surprised by the negativity against the Sansa clip.
>>51685123
OK seriously, whats the point of these? Is it just Audiophile shit? The newer ones are like 200 dollars on ebay. The only reason I can see to get one is it has a modern take on the ipod classic design.
>>51682763
Walkman Z
Highly recommended!
>>51685123
FiiO sales were tempting, solid build quality and expandable storage...
Pono master race
The audio quality is fucking insane.
>>51683345
whether there's an audible difference between 320 and flac is debatable. but it is literally impossible for you to hear the difference with the audio hardware within any phone on the marked. literally impossible. if you actually keep flac on your phone then you're an idiot
I used my DS Lite to do it. Good times m8
>>51694497
I still have one of these that works
I guess I technically do, yeah. I use it as a bluetooth headset for my phone, but you can stick a microSD card in it and play music independently, or use the built-in FM tuner.
>>51682820
Stupid question, but how's the battery life on those things? Amazon reviews kinda blast it for the battery life.
>>51682763
>tfw the rockboxed Sansa Fuze I had in high school will never get fixed
Pic related, I miss that thing so much, that was the best MP3 player I ever had. I currently use my phone for music, it used to be fine, but lately I've been getting these godawful crackles from my phone whenever I turn off its screen while streaming music, and I know it's a software issue because it always happens if the phone's been on for longer than two days straight. I'm considering picking up whatever iteration of the Sansa Clip will be out once I start making money again, it might not have streaming capabilities but at least I won't be playing Russian Roulette every time I turn the screen off.
>>51695515
idk about the Clip, but the Fuze I used to have got almost 24 hours on music playback, and that's with a bigger screen than the Clip. I imagine most people complaining about battery life do the typical things like charge it all the way up all the time instead of waiting for the battery to get very low before charging, but then again Sandisk has dropped the ball with other aspects of their MP3 players before, so them screwing the battery up isn't out of the question.
Sansa Clip + (8GB) with Rockbox.
Why? Because I also use it whenever I ride a bike and carrying a smartphone is not always an option.

>>51683917
Fail how? My Clip Zip had this issue where only 1 channel had sound unless I moved the headphone connector in a specific way. 5 minutes with a soldering iron fixed that, and 4 of those minutes were me waiting for the iron to heat up.
It wasn't anything hard either, it was just that the solder was just not holding the jack properly in place anymore.
>>51685123

>>51687427
>Turn Zip on before connecting it to your PC

I've been using my Zip for quite some time and, I never had issues besides the occasional crash when I connected it to my PC without turning it on.
>>51682763
I loved my sansa clip + for a while, but it can be a bitch to use. If you have a huge library, even rockbox can't fix that. I hate driving with it because navigating through it takes so long and the screen is small as shit.
>>51685122
>>51685611

>>51697761
This is the Clip Zip.

I have the same. It's not an EDC though. It can fit in my pocket together with my phone, but it's just a pain to be honest. I only bring it out if I'm going out of town and have a bag with me.
I'm in two minds about it. The wheel sucks and isn't precise, and there are some things about the interface which bother me (like having no clock, are they fucking kidding?).

>>51704502
desu the only reason to use it is the massive amount of formats it supports incl. Opus. I would only recommend it for ancient hardware with like only 2GBs of non-expandable storage where 96kbps opus would fit an entire library into it, or if the player needs some bullshit external software like iPods.

I'm thinking of getting this for my iPod Classic 5g:

Thoughts? The hard drive can be a little slow sometimes.

Exactly, I use one of these in my car.

Imagine listening to just the limited library of music that Spotify provides. That's why I haven't got a sub to it... It Just doesn't have all the music I want to listen to.

I liked the Zune's design so much, it's such a shame it couldn't compete with the ipod, since it was a superior device. But both Zunes came too fucking late, I guess.
Sadly I could never get one because they did not introduce them in my country. I kinda want to get one from ebay now, though.
Anyway I also use a Clip+, great device

Google play is the best
Can I turn an Iphone4 into a standalone music player? Say an alternate OS that was just a music player and nothing more.
Or are there any 3rd party programs that let you copy music to it using .m3u playlists?
Anyone fiio x3/x5 here??

I cant imagine using another mp3 player dude, my first player was the original Zune, and my second and current is my Zune HD.

how
>>51682763
I used an iAudio X5. It was amazing back in 2005. Much better than all of the iPods. No bullshit iTunes. You could just usb and transfer things. Color screen... I'm sad the HDD died. Maybe I'll look into fixing it.
>>51685611
Are those buttons printed on that panel physical? (or is the center thing a 4-way switch?)
>>51695702
>Fail how? My Clip Zip had this issue where only 1 channel had sound unless I moved the headphone connector in a specific way. 5 minutes with a soldering iron fixed that, and 4 of those minutes were me waiting for the iron to heat up.
Nice work. Rockboxed Sansa e200 series here, they built them with the intention that techs (and today, end users) would take them apart and repair them. Only time I had to take it apart was when I got annoyed from 10+ years of dust that had gotten inside the thing from spending a decade in my pocket. 10 minutes from "Fuck, I'm actually gonna do this today" to as-new condition.

So far I like it with the koss porta pro. With the meelectronics m6 tends to be even more bassy.
It feels toyish and cheap, afterall it has a plastic case. All the buttons are physical buttons, volume included. The menus are awkward and messy. There is a customisable eq but I didn't tried it yet.
I can't tell you yet about battery life because I've only listened to a couple of albums. Monday will be the endurance test.
I never used a clip+, so I can't compare, but I'm very happy with my purchase.
If you are unsure, wait for more reviews and then go for it.
>>51695601
>waiting for the battery to get very low before charging
That's the worst thing you can do for lithium batteries because it stresses the battery a lot more than smaller charges here and there.

I have a Fiio x1

>Not to drain the battery on your phone during long commutes, for example.
What is a car charger? If you are so poor you are taking public transportation don't even reply.
>To have more physical keys.
aka less digital keys so searching for music will be harder
>Depending on the phone and on the pmp, to have better quality/more storage.
Most of the time your phone is going to be able to store more songs than a dedicated mp3 player due to being able to accept 200gb microsd cards.
Last time I ever used a dedicated MP3 player was the Sansa Fuze. If you really want one, those things are godly. Most Sandisk MP3 players are, really. I still have my old e130s and they still work fine. (The Fuze had an accident with some mustard sauce, rip in peace.)
Though at this point buying portable chargers extra batteries, and SD Cards for your phone are almost literally a dime a dozen, so there really isn't much of a reason to have an MP3 player anymore.
>"Extra batteries?"
>Not buying a phone that lets you swap out the batteries in it so you get the power instantly back
>>51685154
Does the zero even have an analog audio out?
>inb4 USB OTG + USB sound card
>>51705757

Nah
The Fiio X1 is on sale right now, been planning on getting it.
Any advice from pwople who've had one?
I got my sansa clip zip as my dedicated mp3 boo, rockbox that fair maiden and your good to go, i dont recommend the ofw.
>>51713875
Forgive my ignorance anon, but what's so great about Opus? I normally throw 320kbps Vorbis and mp3's on my portables, and they sound great. Is it a file size thing?
I use a SanDisk Clip Sport. Radio, audiobooks, timers, SD slot... I have a smartphone but this saves me battery, has a radio and reduces distractions inherent from checking my phone.
>>51712687
They're physical, the central rectangle is also a button.

>not using an audiophile dac

>>51714236
Probably just a memer. Opus fags are pretty insufferable. They have a codec that shows slight amounts of superiority to aac and vorbis and now act like everything is unlistenable shit.

Oh God is it still 2006? Learn to VBR.
>Is it a file size thing?
Yes. Exactly. Opus at ~128kbps VBR has about the same transparency as a V0 VBR mp3 while keeping the filesize about 2x smaller.

can someone recommend me a pmp with at least 64gb of storage? i don't care about video, games or internet, i just want something that plays .mp3s and has lots of storage
I still have this 256mb beauty, haven't used it in the last 7-8 years tho

Clip zip with Rockbox
Use a phone dipshit

You can still get the clip+ for around $60 but the Fiio M3 has just been released and seems like a competitive alternative for a little bit less.
>>51716503
>casual detected
>>51716505
thank you, the fiio looks nice.
I still use a Phillips mp3 player I bought 7 years ago
Does anyone else feel happy when they drop their tiny mp3 player and it just swings on the end of the cable it's attached too instead of disconnecting and throwing £200+ worth of glass into the ground?
>>51716583
No because that will weaken the headphone connection.
>glass
>>51716618
Glass being people's phones.
Anyway, I don't get people saying the headphone connection is weak in the clip+, it it because I never put it in my back pocket or something? The bit has always been stalwart for me and it's the crappy power button which has let me down. My point being I'd rather drop a lightweight mp3 player than a heavier phone, especially when it's attached to my ears.
Might be a stupid question but if I were to buy the Fiio M3 would it be recognized in linux?
