I don’t want something I have to deal with some software like iTunes for and would rather plug in the device into any computer and move files and have the player automatically recognize it.
Want to use it when going for runs. Audio jack and Bluetooth support is a must. No need for anything else fancy
Edit: I came across the SanDisk 16GB Clip Sport Plus MP3 Player. Seems like it might be what I’m looking for. Anyone have any other simple mp3 players with Bluetooth support they recommend?
Something supported by Rock Box firmware.
Back in the day I flashed a HDD iPad with this open source firmware. ITunes was a system crushing bloated DRM piece of crap. RockBox turned in into a portable hard drive that played everything great.
I’ve been using iTunes since I got my iPod in 2006. The iPod gets a fair bit of use these days since they took headphone jacks out of phones and i don’t have Bluetooth in my vehicle.
I have no problem drag/dropping music files (just not flac) in to my library. It’ll even rename my files according to the tags and sort them for me. Then I sync the whole thing every time I plug it in.
I dunno, I like it.
