Not to brag, but this is my mp3 in 2026:
It plays wonderfully. But only works with Windows XP for transfers...
I had a red Sony Walkman E395 when i was in middle school. Not the most high-end player but it was good and I'm still mad it got stolen.
I still have a functioning iTouch but Apple sucks and the older iTouch isn't able to do the neat tricks.
I was so sad when mine died. It only lasted 5 or so years.
My wife still blames me for advising her to buy this instead of an ipod. It wasn't as easy to use inho. It was drag and drop in file management and didn't require software, but.... ok?
I've used both, and highly prefer this over any of the ipods of the generation. This is partly because of the drag and drop, but mostly because it didn't gaf whether the mp3 came from itunes or ripped with Audio Grabber. Ipods all cared, and I had to trick them into playing Audio Grabber files by encoding them to m4a. Absolutely bonkers.
