FIIO and sony still make some brand new mp3 players which are very sleek and nice and have audiophile features but can get kinda expensive / overpriced. Older models from lesser known brands like cowon iaudio / iriver probably go for next to nothing on ebay and have CRAZY gadget features (check the article linked for some examples) that apple never deigned to, and behave like a regular old flash drive so they're likely to never go obsolete in terms of software. I loved those little things. I should go and find mine at some point.
recently i pulled it out and plugged her in. itβs so fun to clip it to your pocket and have the little screen poking out, and the process of downloading music (uhhh totally legally!) is just real fun. no nonsense just jams :)
mp3 players, ipods, fishnet socks, cd slots in macbooks, clothes coming with thread for when a button falls off or you need to patch a hole, affordability. what happened? :(
guro / scifi manga artist. funny freaky + experimental
love how his gore + exploration of dark themes is off-putting mostly because they r represented so beautifully
