dedicated devices are nice, and always have been :)

I would rather have one device that does one thing well, than a device that can kinda do 100 things I want but not well at all.

...plus you can put Linux/rockbox on iPods and it's stupid easy to get them running again.

So what are the chances Apple starts making iPods again? It's getting more and more traction. It'd absolutely make a profit. The only thing that'd stop them from doing it is that it'd be weird.

MP3 players are commodities now. Anyone who just wants iPod functionality can get it cheap, and there are even upmarket options for audiophiles with support for things like low impedance headphones that the iPod never supported.

There’s just not enough room in the market for Apple to re-insert themselves.

Also, they’d never ship a product that couldn’t somehow use AppleMusic.

I still use mine from time to time, but am kinda out of the torrenting game and stuck with my old music. What are people using to get songs now a days?

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

My go-tos are (in order of success):

  1. Going to the library or local record stores.
  2. Going on bandcamp to support artists.
  3. Archive.org
  4. Youtube-dl or other such services.

I haven't had any issues for a long time now.

Really helpful, thanks!

Torrent tracker, CDs, and Bandcamp. For me, anyway.

Late, but try soulseek p2p using the Nicotine+ client or Seeker on Android.
