I want to get less reliant on my phone and go out more without it. One of the big use cases for my phone is music.

I have a lot of local music files and I would like to transfer them to a mp3 player. I would prefer something offline that I can drag files too. Also Bluetooth would be a plus so I can continue to use my earbuds.

Something easy to navigate would be ideal too. Basically like what iPods were like with a small screen where you can navigate easily and see album artwork.

Especially when you can update them with stuff like Rockbox.

I've been meaning to replace the battery on my 1st generation iPod, getting a firewire card, and putting Rockbox on it.

    tbh I didn't like rockbox. I used a random program called FooBar2000 with some 3rd party plugin found on a dead forum to let me drag and drop .mp3-s on it.

    I don't have the exact link but this guide seems pretty similar https://www.howtogeek.com/24473/how-to-use-your-ipod-with-foobar2000/

    rockbox seems like a dope project, it just wasn't for me.
