I have a large music library that I don’t have much storage left for on my phone. There are of course other ways of solving this problem, but are there any good dedicated music players like iPods still around?
Ideally I’d like it to have Bluetooth functionality for wireless headphones, at least 512GB of storage, and an SD card slot. Possibly physical buttons as well.
Just yesterday I saw a post about using retro game handhelds as a music players. That might interest you.
I used to use my PSP as a music player because my subwoofers would cause my CDs to skip. Good times.
Rockbox has a 3DS port in progress.
From the sbcgaming subreddit, the one I see constantly popping up is the TrimUI Brick (Hammer for metal case).
Of course any retro games handheld with Android will work just as well as any other phones with Android. And you can just put it on airplane mode or just don’t install any apps that’ll give notifications.
Additionally, there’s a rockbox app for portmaster.
