PixL Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I currently use an iPod Classic with the hard drive swapped for an iFlash adapter and 2 x 256gb SD cards to replace them... I have also swapped the firmware for Rockbox (www.rockbox.org). This all works great but I can't help think i'm running with outdated technology..... What is there in existence for the music listener who would like to carry 512gb with him? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-ee Jones Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 512 GB of music... Alright. 1 hour ago, PixL said: What is there in existence for the music listener who would like to carry 512gb with him? :) These days most people buy a large mobile plan and stream music - or they get a plan that comes with some kind of Spotify subscription or something so they can stream music for free without using data.

PixL Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Streaming is ok but but if there is a loss of internet access or indeed the streaming service stops you can still enjoy your music with a large capacity of local stroage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomatterwhat Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I sounds like you got it down, and you have found what works for you, so why does it matter if the technology is outdated. There are no 1 tb mp3 players on the market (yet?) anyway. I was an avid amp3 player user, but I switched to streaming a couple of years ago, and I'm not turning back. When I know I won't have internet access, I just download. Some streaming services give you that option. Spotify does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Power Company Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I use Google Play music, and even though my entire library is easily too large for my phone's 64gig storage, I can still have all my favorite songs downloaded. There aren't many cases where I lose WiFi access for a long time, but even then I still have about 72 hours worth of songs I can listen too without access.

barry99705 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Note 8 with one of these in it gets you pretty close. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074RNRM2B/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=patricknorton-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B074RNRM2B&linkId=e7b5f5c5a56f6ee904799f7ad070bf56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I think a OnePlus 5T would be quite nice. Can't go wrong with 128GB SD and 8GB RAM out of the box :) Price is pretty generous though, but still underneath iPhones of a similar generation. That said, the Xiaomi Black Shark is looking to be quite powerful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
