Do you use a discrete music player?

[Bimmel]

Music on my phone? What a silly idea.

 

[RevPokemon]

I have an old Droid Razer that I solely use for music since it has a 32gb microsd card with my music and bluetooth for my headphones.

 

[Minox]

what if there is an emergency and someone needs to contact you
or about that fit apps? (not sure if anyone uses them)
when get tired you can then resting in a bench looking at funny pictures or checking social media
etc..

I don't live out in the middle of nowhere so I assume I'd be just fine in the case of an emergency. Not to mention, I did just fine without a phone the first 16-17 years of my life, not sure why that would've changed now.

Thought I agree with you regarding why the fuck should one carry a phone around all day, I have to state you missed the point. Poppy was saying what if someone else was in an emergency and needed to contact you, the universal saviour, for help. (blargh, there's 911 for that)

I used to have a Sansa Clip+ but these days I just use an old smartphone + spotify.

Ah. Luckily I've never been a person that can be contacted at any time of the day so that wouldn't really change anything. If I'm available people will get a response, if not they will have to wait until I'm available again.

Not exactly. Like Dinoh, I have a Hifi system with a 32GB USB drive in one of my vehicles so if I'm ever out of the house that's usually what I'm using to listen to music.

If I happen to be in my other vehicle, I have an iPod touch I use for music, but that's about it. Working from home, I don't usually leave the house very often so I just use my main PC for music.

 

[gnmmarechal]

I use my old Galaxy Gio as a dedicated music player.

 

[FAST6191]

I have no phone/tablet so no chance of that, no car either so nothing there.

I can't walk with headphones on; I just fall over. Not to mention I kind of enjoy listening to what is around me more when outside, to say nothing of it being easier to avoid the ninjas that are after me and the cars everywhere if I have an extra sense available.
Equally I never liked having music on in the car if I am driving. No idea why there.

I did have a PSP many years ago that I set up to go on holiday with, though I since let the battery swell it seems and trying to find a PSP1000 battery worth a damn for a price I care to pay is easier said than done.

Android Phone.
PC.
That's all.

 

[Duo8]

Well, TBH when I walk around or when I am at work I normally just use my smartphone or my work laptop linked to my bluetooth headphones. That works fine, no hiss from bluetooth output /s.
When I am home I usually use a clunky old Pono player with better headphones, that overpriced shit sounds very good TBH, but it is far from portable.

So, do I use a dedicated music players? Yes, sometimes.

Isn't the Pono $400? That's way overpriced.

I remember that. What happened to it?

Yeah, that thing is way too overpriced, I agree.

 

[ultramario1998]

I use a FiiO X1 as a portable music player after my ipod classic died.

I would use my iphone, but lack of expandable storage (and the crappy music app) make that hard to do.

 

[Depravo]

I remember that. What happened to it?

After many years of use the headphone jack went a bit screwy and I was only hearing stuff in one ear. I was looking to replace with another dedicated player (I was considering a FiiO) but then just went the Spotify route.

 

[Deleted User]

I use to listen to music on my Wii U.
Gamepad + Speakers with Sub-woofer connected and my life is completed.

Winamp.

Winamp.

It really whips the... what the hell move on already! /s

android phone with poweramp

I installed poweramp some time ago, nice piece of software. The only thing that was easy to find and allowed me to play ALAC on my phone.
Unfortunately I am still thinking way too hard about paying the 4€ it costs and the trial period expired already.

PS: no, I won't pirate it.

You can't anyway, poweramp has some of the toughest ap protection out there
I bought it when it was on sale $0.99 USD (the only app I have ever purchased)
