is this thing worth using? it's probably over a decade old

 10015

what even is it

 10020

>>10015
looks like an MP3 player

I'd just like to interject for one moment. In the late 1990s it became feasible to make portable, solid-state digital audio players. Most support the patented MP3 codec, but not all. Some support the patent-free audio codecs Ogg Vorbis and FLAC, and may not even support MP3-encoded files at all, precisely to avoid these patents. To call such players "MP3 players" is not only confusing, it also puts MP3 in an undeserved position of privilege which encourages people to continue using that vulnerable format. We suggest the terms "digital audio player," or simply "audio player" if context permits.

 10040

 10041

>>10040

i too have an MP3 player i use from time to time ever since i switched to a dumbphone

 10043

>>10041
im thinking i could store music on my phone too, but the mp3 player is smaller i suppose

The only benefit you get with these is the DAC, which can power larger and more powerful speakers, but that's about it

marge how do i make a playlist supported on mp3 player

 10346

>>10014
Just dig up an old obsolete phone or smartphone with a pair of headphones from your dresser. It will probably have way more storage anyway compared to your old Zun or whatever that thing is.
