Alternatives to the iPod
My whole collection is in MP3 format, from CDs I actually purchased. Since the latest 'iTunes' update and death of my iPhone I have switched to a Nothing phone and iBroadcast for my music collection. But I still don't want to stream music or require an internet connection so I am looking for an MP3 player to replaced the iPod/iTunes that can support a substantial music collection and sounds good too. All I can find on Amazon are these weirdly named brands and I have no idea if any of these MP3 players are any good. I saw some refurbished iPods but that seems like a sunk cost at this point. The Sony Walkman looks like an option but it's over $1000!?!?!
Does anyone have an MP3 player they are currently using and like? Are there options that might sync with iTunes?
