    Picked up a dedicated audio device recently (with another few on the way!), and it feels nice to curate my own offline, add-free, algorithm-free listening experience. Having music myself his been half the fun of this, I won’t be using any streaming app going forward.

    It is also super adorable:

      How do you discover new artists? That is the main thing keeping me from doing this.

        Listen to the radio, read music news or listen to podcasts if you prefer, go to local music venues

        No! Just via a USB cable.

        I just got another one delivered yesterday which has a slot for an SD card, though. But tbh this is the benefit to me, it forces me to be intentional with what I load on.

      Oh man, wait until you’re camping craigslist ads for used DAPs (Digital audio player, fancy speak for music player)… I got my DX180 for cheap there, then picked up some grados. Decent headphones and a good audio chip is some magic shit.
