E-readers, retro handhelds, literal automatic watches, & now I'm ditching streaming music (let's face it, Spotify is quite evil!) and building my very own offline music library My first device I got for this adventire is the Innioasis Y1, a clear #Apple #iPod throwback/nostalgia: https://gardinerbryant.com/stepping-away-from-streaming/

    @flwwhtrbt@mastodon.social Awesome, I've just started looking at replacements for my old iPod. Looking forward to the next articles.

    @flwwhtrbt@mastodon.social This little guy has been on my radar for a little while now, but I havenโ€™t been able to justify pulling the trigger as I already own a TempoTec V1. Still tempts me, thoโ€ฆ

    @flwwhtrbt@mastodon.social I have a lot of music I actually own and I love it. One question, how do you discover new songs and artists? I loved Plexamp when it still had the Tidal integration and it was amazing to find knew stuff that matched your own taste. But now that this is gone, I haven't found a good way to expand my library without a separate streaming service. But having this detached from my own library is kinda cumbersome.

    @flwwhtrbt@mastodon.social A little while back I was inspired to pull my old Cowon D2 out of a closet. There really is just something nice about having an offline tiny device that doesn't need a complicated operating system or anything to function. It doesn't have fancy features like USB-C (or, uh, lol, micro-USB, it's mini, hah โ€” it was made in 2008) or bluetooth (what is bluetooth? ๐Ÿ˜ ) but it gets the job done still shockingly well. We definitely lost something as a whole when everyone moved away from dedicated devices. They're just... nice.

    @flwwhtrbt@mastodon.social I very much love this idea! I dug out my old iPod classic and have been wanting to flash it with #rockbox in this idea.

    @flwwhtrbt@mastodon.social which Boox device are you using as an e-reader? Trying to escape Amazon's clutches.
