Isn't that what an mp3 players main purpose is? Are mp3 players bad now?

    Yes cause they can’t sell you a subscription for your mp3 player.

    Fucking rent seeking behaviour from corporate parasites.

    MP3 players aren't bad, they're just mostly obsolete when smartphones can do the same thing and we mostly already have one.

    I like to keep several GB of music on my phone from my MP3 library, and I have no streaming music accounts. I pay once for my music at most.

    Your phone is an mp3 player. It just does other stuff too.

    I remember when the iPhone came out, it was a little more than an iPod that made calls. The rest is history.

    I think you might be misremembering; the original iPhone had YouTube, maps (though it lacked a GPS for whatever reason), a camera, Safari, and even a primitive HTML based App Store that paved the way for modern PWAs. Games like Bejeweled were available months before iOS 2.0 came with the App Store.

    The Moto ROKR was an iPod that made calls.

    You're right. It was released almost at the same time as the 1st gen iPod touch, and that iPod ran the same OS as the iPhone (then named iPhone OS). I thought the iPod touch came before, it didn't. The iPod classic was significantly different from the iPhone.
