Yuck.

Another bulky box just for music? I want streaming, I just down want someone else's services. I stream my own.

With something like this I have to load a card up over and over. Nah.

Streaming prices went up $5/mo again. Oh and even tho you pay we're gonna start giving you ads too. Oh and you can't actually listen to anything if our network goes down.

I don't want to wait for them to enshitify my music. Give me a 1gb generic media player that's offline.

I think you misunderstood. I stream... My own services. I don't pay anyone, I don't have ads.

I just don't want another device, it's a waste of time to have to copy a sliver of my collection over and over.

1GB? That is basically not even a full album.

To you point though: its bullshit that devices like this one I am typing on have taken away the SD card. My steam decks have 1tb cards, why can't my other devices?

Oh and I listen to music and watch my movies on my steam deck streaming to them too. That's this thing, no matter where I am, I have my music.

Oh yeah, I did misunderstand then. 1gb is nothing nowadays but songs don't take up that much space. Just something cheap and simple to let me listen to music.

I guess I have some boomer tendencies, I feel better having something physically in my hand that has stuff stored directly on it.

Android dap + Syncthing.

Synchthing alone, don't need an android involved right? SD card in reader on a computer, but still loading up stuff never wabt to go back to that.
