i realized i’m a big local music enjoyer, all the music i listen to is stored in files and i even have vlc on my phone to listen to it. (all of them are legally downloaded of course!!) sadly yesterday i moved all those files to my chromebook and it really slowed it down, (the files total 1gigabyte, woa). so why not get an mp3 player?? that can save storage on my phone and chromebook.
by the way i did try youtube music one time but i realized, what if youtube music disappeared?? all the music would be gone! so yea that’s why i prefer local files
I purchased a Walkman some years ago. It handles most file types, but most importantly, it handles lossless formats like flac, which the format I rip my CDs to.
You can choose to transfer files directly to it, or use Sony’s Music Center, which works like iTunes (Apple Music?).
If you wanna pair quality with a decent price, this might be something to consider. It has a built-in DAC, not that I’ve used it a whole bunch, it’s still pretty cool that it has this ability.
