FIIOS X1.

Just got one and it's tits. The only issue I have is that it displays the file names instead of the track names. I'm sure there is a fix I just haven't found it yet.

It plays hi def music too if you're into that, plus the micro sd supports up to 128GBP.

You have to buy an sd card but the thing only costs $100.

?

Do you use it with iTunes or just the raw files? Do you buy music or just download it?

I used itunes previously and just drag and dropped the music to the card. I switched to a different media player because itunes is a shit show.

You can download music or use a free program to rip your cds.

Also yes you just use the raw files, no program needed to sync.

I use Windows Media Player currently. I really don't like the idea of seeing the file names instead of the actual song name.

I thought it would annoy me more than does.
I haven't tried to fix it because it really doesn't bother me that much.

I'll check if there's a fix.

I've had one of these since 2011. Thing is a tank.  It uses Windows media player so it's real simple to use.

You aren't anti-portable music, are you.

No, I just never understood the point of it. If I ever want to listen to music, and I don't have any way to reproduce it, I just play the song in my mind, and that's usually good enough for me.

Hmm...
My phone only has 16GB of space, and that isn't enough. But I'm not looking to spend $200+ on an iPod classic to hold all of my music, especially since I don't use iTunes...

Any recommendations? Something more than 64GB would be nice.
IMO, buy an iPhone 4s or 5 off of eBay used; with new models coming out every year, they lose their value faster than the iPods. If you look long enough you can find a good deal on one.

Just for music alone that's a waste of money.

Well, I want a way to reproduce it. That's why I'm looking for an iPod alternative.

Huge waste of money for only music.

Not really. You can get a 5 for about $100 and a 4s for probably $60 or $70 and they would be quality stuff that would last a while.

Once the iPhone SE comes out, I expect the 5 will drop significantly as well.

PSP?

You can play music on those.
This has to be a joke.

It is. I wouldn't recommend that as an MP3 player.
You guys are lame I did that all the time

Well delete some of your music. I find it hard to believe that you like every single song on your audio device.

I wouldn't own music I didn't like. What a stupid thing to say.
