  Look. We already have a little computer in our pocket. Besides Apple can go fly a kite with their DRM audio files. Just let me own my phone.

  Remember owning stuff?

  Uh, yes? I have all the mp3s I want to listen to on my phone (and my NAS),I don’t need an Ipod for that.

    While you’re not wrong, and at the moment I am the same, there is also something very appealing to me about decoupling music from my phone.

      Really? There’s something appealing to me about decoupling my cellular modem from my phone; I used an iPod Touch instead of a smartphone for years (with Wifi and VoIP).

      At this point I have zero interest in a dedicated audio player.

      And if I wanted one… my watch holds more MP3s than the original iPod did. I can just play music from my watch.

      Or my graphing calculator.

      Or, for that matter, my over the ear headphones which have a microSD slot.

      If you’re moderately tech-inclined, its not super difficult to set up a streaming music server that you can access from anywhere. The most basic solution that almost anyone can spin up is a cheap NAS (or always-on PC), and setting up a VPN between your phone and router to access your library.

      From there you can add complexity by configuring a true music server like Navidrome, adding web-facing access, erc

      After typing this, I realized maybe you meant completely decoupling music from your phone, not just decoupling the storage

      I got the itch to have a separate music player from my phone. Became very interested in the Innioasis Y1. It looks like a late model iPod nano (before they went touchscreen; it has the wheel). Bought it and then put the RockBox firmware on it (no simple task if you use Linux, let me tell you). I love it. It’s made me more intentional with my music. Plus I’m acquiring CDs and burning them to my laptop to transfer over to the Y1.

  An iPod classic with Bluetooth support, SD card support, and with zero Apple input would be great.

  I never had a cable subscription (that I paid for), nor have I ever subscriber to a streaming service (I had Prime for years for the shipping, not the content).

  I own things, and I like it, much to the chagrin of the tech bros.
