let's face it, 2007 was about as good as human society as we could achieve. I wish I seized that time more.

After losing 2 phones to thiefs in the public transport, I decided it wouldn't happen again. I have a very tiny and old MP3 player, and yes I still use it. It has an micro SD slot so memory isn't much of a problem, my MP3 collection is going strong too, and the player itself is so simple looking that no one would want to steal it lmao

Great video Laura, I just bought the same Mp3 player, loving it so far.

Love the channel, I hope to see more as time goes on!

still using my ipod classic. i love a good separate mp3 device

Thankful I found your channel. Nice to see you doing the same as me, for improving our mental health and for me productivity ❤

I still have my Sony Walkman NW-A45 from years ago. I ripped music CDs in MP3 when I got that device until, about, three months ago. Now, I rip in FLAC. Now, I have hi-res audio on my Walkman. The sound is wonderful! I have inserted a 128 microSD card in the slot in the Walkman, which is the highest capacity the stereo can have. : - )

you aren't the only one sweet lady. I also use a mp3 player not because i want to be an old school. but to enjoy the music from the depth.

Great video, nice to see other people having love for mp3s still. I've been listening to mp3s in the 90s/2000s and after a brief Spotify era I've switched back to my mp3 collection again around 2016. Streaming is just so... overwhelming... and since I often listen to the same 2-3 albums for weeks, mp3 works much better for me. I don't like to use iTunes so considering getting some cheaper mp3 player that I can just copy the files to directly without any sync or bloated functions.

incredible!!!

Great discussion. I went with an iPad mini that only connects at home and I usually listen to my music away from home. At home, yes, there is a danger you will connect to the internet and use too much screen time.

Another option for downloading podcasts is the Podbean podcast directory

I did the same. Strimming and smartphone is TOO MUCH excessive information and distraction. Ive never been happier with my music experience than the times when mp3s-players were around back in 00s era.

I saw your MP3 player from your edc video and found it on Ali for 50% less than amazon so ordered it. I have the touchscreen nano and its too delecate to throw in a bag or near keys. I love my dumb phone and digital camera. Great videos and cant wait to see more

I was contemplating exactly this and I stumbled upon your video. I migjt go with the HFI walker H2 (non touch version). And the same thing happened to me with Spotify and YTmusic Algorithms. It ended up being same songs over and over again with an occasional variation, but it felt like I wasnt in control of my own music. Even though the algorithms were trying to find music for me, it still didn't feel natural. Most of the time I found myself skipping songs that I was tired of listening to in hopes that something new and fun would play.

Good tip on the podcast, I never stopped using iPods, I buy CDs almost every week, now they are cheap from thrift stores. I also have been buying music I would never had purchased when I was younger. I don't use any streaming services. I do run a Plex server so I can stream my CDs to myself when not at home if I don't want to take the iPod.

Thank you for this video. I wasn’t sure about podcasts. I am doing the same thing.

Since you used to have an iPod, did you consider an iPod classic, with more capacity? I recently got one (refurbished w new battery and upgraded SD card with 256 GB) and I was amazed how good (actually perfect) this still works and integrates. I wanted to use iTunes because I still had all my old playlists in there. I was super surprised when I saw you can sync your Audible books - I had absolutely forgotten about that - AND podcasts. All of the ones I had subscribed on Spotify were also available on iTunes, so that was a very quick add. And then the 1000 songs I had previously bought on iTunes, I didn't have to convert them. So after all … amazing to see how well a 15 year old player still works and props to Apple for still supporting it.

You can get music downloads, single and full albums, on other sites as well. HD Tracks and 7 Digital are two I use and they have multiple formats for the music. (not all music has all formats, but at least 320 MP3 and 16/44 FLAC) I don't use iTunes at all, not an Apple fan in the least since they seem to not play well with others most of the time.

I have about 200 CDs (bought mostly from Columbia House) which I have no time to rip or PC to rip with. But I do rip them with iTunes, Apple will consider them Purchased Music and I will be able to stream them without an Apple Music Subscription, I think. Now all I need is a PC and an iPod Classic with Terabytes upon Terabytes of storage to fit them all.

My mp3 player has a speaker just like my phone but doesn’t sound as good.

I recently downgraded to a flip phone, bought a 5th gen iPod for my music library, and a Game Boy Advanced for those long lines or moments of downtime and i dont have a book to read of a crochet project to work on. Still figuring out GPS and my bank account access, but otherwise very content.

Nice, i did the same last months

how do i make a playlist? my windows laptop doesn't show it. i'm so frustrated.

thumbs up for the use of the word "hyperlink" after 2010! :D

It looks like the podcast option doesn't work anymore since Google podcasts was retired and replaced with KZfaq music.

I found my mom's old siren mp3 and im so happy to be able to play my music without running out my terrible phone battery down

I got an old LG V20 phone that I've been using as a dap with its awesome internal quad DAC/amp along with a 1TB micro SD card for storing FLAC files.

Plus, if you really wanna listen to new songs and music before you buy them KZfaq is free!! Thank you for posting this video. I really need to get into trying to figure out how to download music.

I git that for my friend for her birthday it is a lovely device that has gotten her back into listening to music. Me I use the Fiio M11 Plus, it does have Wifi if you use it as an android device but I just set it to music mode. I have a ton of CDs, like a ridicules amount from my father who bought CDs as his treats to himself, my mother who bought them for the multiple car trips a year, or mine which I also have several hundred from my childhood or I bought after getting back into just listening to music. Spotify and other streaming services are great if you are discovering music, however if you are listening to music that are just your tried and true I love this, DAPs/MP3 players are the way to go.

I bought an mp3 player recently because I was sick of spotify putting ads everywhere and the fact that if I played my playlists on my phone it would have permanent smart shuffle on (I don't have premium and since I'm a minor I have to get my parents to pay for it and they don't want to so there's that) and so often it would pull something like putting sad songs in my happy playlist or happy songs in my sad playlist I mostly listen to the same playlists/albums over and over again, sometimes creating new playlists if I see a new song I like on social media but I mostly come back to the same artist or playlist I made. I don't like having random new songs being put in those playlists most of the time so the mp3 player was a good option. I also like that it's a 1 time payment and I have it forever until it breaks, I don't need my parents permission to keep my listening experience since the player is already paid for. Though it does feel a bit weird when using it in the school bus where everyone is using a phone and wireless earbuds to listen to music meanwhile me with my mp3 player and wired earphones, but honestly I love how small and portable it is too, wrap my earphones about it when at the destination, throw it in my bag and don't have to worry about it cause it's only for music

I started to buy cd’s again. Also music for mp3 player can be bought on bandcam.

I did the same thing last October bought a punkt mp02 phone its great but has no music player capability. I use it for hotspot over to my laptop when I want internet at home, got a 50gb prepaid data plan for $34 a month here in Canada it all works great cancelled home internet and cable and lived without music for quite a while but I missed music at work so my solution is even more old school, I bought a ccpocket am/fm radio and a chest harness regular radio still works and keeps me entertained for my work days and I listen to sports games in the evening on it kind of makes up for not having cable tv.

i really wanna swap my smart phone for a flip phone & buy one of those mp3 players with spotify already on it👀 should i do it?

I still have me 2 Creative Labs X-Fi Portable Media Player that I've been using since new in 2009. Despite today's modern technology, I still use it and when it's not in use, it reminds in my living room coffee table ready for the next use.

If you’re looking for music too, you can also go to the library Check out the CD you want and copy the music to your MP3 player if you have a CD player in the computer. It will cost you sense. There are no copyright protections on order music files from the library. I used to do that myself back in the day. I got disability myself so technologies, my thing, but I don’t use social media It’s not an addiction for me. I hardly ever use it.

I love the Zune!

You can also download the podcasts automatically using the RSS function available for most podcasts.

i have this one and i have about 28 hundred songs note its not limted at all you can add more if you wand and all you have to get is a bigger sd card just make sure they are mp3 format and can make folders its great and it works with a Bluetooth radio !!!!, but the mp3 will get warm and shut off if its like in the summer

i did the same thing only i already had huge mp3 collection on my PC there are very good inexpensive players like Hiby R3 II and others like for IEMs and not so hungry headphones

Haven't paid any attention to music of any kind, since early Napster pre-morpheous, days. Bc Trojans ate 2 desktops that had 10 entire lifetimes of music in them😂. Now. I have a tiny, cheap, mp3 player, and need some music on it, bc my phone gets too hot, in the cover on my motorcycle, and i dont wanna keep it in my pocket. Hoping the mp3 player, will not overheat.

Also, if you really want to support an artist, buying an album digitally probably generates the most revenue for the least cost to them (compared to streaming or physical media).

Is this the new vinyl?

I use a Sony Ericsson W series for high quality mp3 player and phone.

Spotify just rolled out a single household family plan so now if you have friends who share a family plan, you can’t listen to Spotify anymore. It’ll kick you off. I am so buying an MP3 player and owning my music. Down with the subscriptions!!!!

I still use a tiny sandisk mo3 player fits in my shirt pocket I never done a streaming service

Win

i got one of thoose but with othe brand named Swofy model m8 and the sound quality and construction are amazing!, nice video

google podcasts now exists as KZfaq Music :(

You don't need itunes if you aren't using overpriced proprietary apple junk. Just drag and drop from your file menu. Windows explore makes it quite easy, or a file app on a phone or other android device. Make a folder that you use to add tunes you like. Then select the contents folder to transfer to the player, or to an extra drive card that you can then insert into the player. It's a shame people dispose of some of their freedom by paying for streaming stuff they probably already own, and having some other program select what you can hear. I use cheap mini MP3 players for working outside where I'm not going to risk messing up a phone I need or an expensive device, and cheap earbuds like the great Panasonic ergofit that sound as good as any buds out there for a lot less money.

The reason the word 'podcasts' is what it is, is because of the existence of the iPod that came before it. People seem to think that podcasts are a semi-new thing, but they have been a downloadable radio show for over two decades. iPods helped the rise of the podcast...

Came back after two weeks with my Menchen and the music quality is phenomenal. I paired it with some HD earbuds and the quality vs. my Apple Music is phenomenal. I'm hearing all the little bits of music that made me fall in love with music all over again. I'm also a CD hunter and finding $1 CDs at the thrift store - can't replicate the excitement. Now to find a decent CD player.

1:58 don't support Apple's anti right to repair practices💀

still us my zune 30gb

Most people only listen to their favorite 100 songs over and over.

Walkman the S series

If you buy a lot of CDs maybe you shoild buy a discman

why we all mellinials feel like this?

They don't sell mp3 players, anymore.
