I’m not some tech genius who could spot a fake product a hundred miles away. I’m just not a gullible dumbass

    just use your phone ffs. I have no need to carry around a second device that doesn't do half of what a phone can.

      to be fair when I had an iphone about 10 years ago (a mistake I'll never make again) I was incredibly frustrated with needing to use itunes to dump my pirated MP3 files into the phone. Just let the phone work like a USB device dammit so I can load all my media onto it. Don't make me use proprietary software and I won't consider a second device.

      Also having a tiny thumbnail sized MP3 player that like clips to my belt or whatever is much more convenient in a gym setting than sweating all over my brick sized phone as it clunks around in my gym shorts

        I've tried to look up an itty bitty mp3 player over the years and the ones that actually exist are all hundreds of dollars. Fucking weird.

          Really? I got like a really crappy clip one for 5 bucks once. I forget where. They held like 3 gigs of music and the interface was annoying but it was very easy to add and remove music/audiobooks between gym sessions. I wish I remember where. It wasn't on amazon. I think I might have walked into some kind of tech brick and mortar place before it closed down forever during Covid. It was very convenient for running
