Old Apple was good, yeah.

I dislike most of Apple, I was a fan once and I saw how much it really sucks, I got a 30 euros PRUMUS radio device with bluetooth so I can listen without wires to live news/music radio AM/FM and with a SD card I can play my own music. I'm verry happy with this, the battery takes days to empty even if you want to play it on low volume from the speakers to listening while sleep time and morning.

Apple are the worset devices... don't trust them, and this hardware will probably die soon to make you buy another one. Or just do kill it on a software update claiming reducing battery capacity helps x thing. Sorry :x

After testing many of the players mentioned here, I can say Strawberry is the number one. It has all I need.
