Independent portable media players. Most of those functions have been susumed by phones.

    Which makes me frustrated that all the manufacturers have gotten too cheap to toss a miniscule DAC and headphone jack in phones anymore.

    I don't think it's about them being cheap, it's that they want to sell you the matching wireless headset

    The functions of this player have not been subsumed into a phone.

    That’s pretty nifty! I’ve been looking at a personal AMFM radio/MP3 player recently, but I really like the CD ripping function of that one.

    I haven't tried the CD ripping, but my jaw was on the floor the first time I saw the feature list. Decent build and battery too.

    I’ll watch the whole video later and check out the other features, I just watched the first 30 seconds or so. It’s something I could see myself picking up, but I’m not sure I’d use it as a portable very much since it’s kind of larger. Maybe keeping it in my purse or book bag would work.

    This is the one I’ve been looking at, but I need to look into reviews first. I love that both of these have a slot for a card.
