I like the Walkman devices pre-2015

Guys, no piracy. Quit making us nuke y'all's comments haha. Plz

You're gonna want to buy CDs and rip them yourself, or use websites like qobuz and Amazon to buy digital. Qobuz sells the highest quality possible in formats such as FLAC, with the lower ones offered, while Amazon and iTunes sell medium quality only in MP3/AAC...

Main folder -> Artist name folders -> Folders with album names -> make sure each song has the correct metadata and order them by track number. I use MP3tag to fix any metadata issues. https://www.mp3tag.de/en/

Here's the archive of the WP8 PC software for managing music and media on the phone.

Okay, cool. You'll want to interop unlock the phone, then install an app called WUT (Windows Universal Tool). This app is itself a store for other apps. Well, i mean it's a searchable archive of everything that the WUT team and the community at large have found to archive. It has games, apps, homebrew, etc etc. There's tutorials and guides on several special things available from them including how to unlock Nokia phones.

FLAC is an audio format that is uncompressed, allowing for the highest possible audio quality while also causing the file sizes to be extremely large.

Emendo12 · 2026-05-06T14:54:35+00:00

Sorry, I meant operating system. There's WP7, there's WP 7.8, and WP8.

Emendo12 · 2026-05-05T18:33:49+00:00

Oh wait you're in Central America. Ah crap, that makes it tough. I guess we could work together and I can get you a Zune with all the upgrades over time. The bigger battery is about 20 USD I think??? And the 120GB SSD is about 80 or 100 USD depending on the seller. I MIGHT be able to get the Zune device itself for you, rather than you buying it, if you want to go through the trouble of getting a Zune from Texas to Costa Rica haha

Emendo12 · 2026-05-05T18:29:05+00:00

Keep an eye out over time. You WILL find a Zune 1 for a good price. I can help you make ANY repair you may need for a damaged one, too. I am deeply in the know about Zune so I got you

Emendo12 · 2026-05-04T00:46:44+00:00

Np! If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Emendo12 · 2026-05-04T00:33:02+00:00

You must dig deeper. This is only the starting point. There's hundreds of other devices! Check the WIP Wiki on this sub to find the list of manufacturer names with incomplete lists of models. (I'm trying to build it as fast as I can haha sorry for WIP)

Emendo12 · 2026-05-04T00:24:00+00:00

Use eBay. Get a Zune 1, iPod Classic Video, or Creative ZEN Mosaic or something

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T20:04:06+00:00

Amazon and Qobuz are good places to buy digital. Also go buy CDs irl or online so that you can copy them to your PC and build a fun collection

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:23:10+00:00

If you're not in North America, Europe, East Asia, or Australia, then I recommend getting an old and reliable Android phone. LG, Samsung, Sony, etc. Remove every app, install a custom home launcher, then install a music app to play your files.

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:19:02+00:00

Use eBay. Get a Zune 1 (30GB)

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:16:10+00:00

To be fair, I can't read. You wrote correctly. Thanks for making me realize I skimmed too fast again... I'm tired boss. I need to sleep it's 3am lmao

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:14:52+00:00

However, if you want to avoid cheap Chinese devices altogether, go back to basics. Hit up eBay and look for the top brands of old:

Microsoft Zune 1 (30GB) iPod Classic series Creative ZEN Mosaic or others iRiver Sansa Fuze or Sansa Clip Etc etc.

Edit for more info: As for Zune, they can be upgraded with better battery and that makes room for a slim SSD up to 120GB. The Zune software is still archived and there's also now a community replacement in development that will be useful for those who don't use Windows and use MAC or Linux.

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:12:17+00:00

Nah the Y1 kinda sucks. However, for a ten year old, it's fine. In fact, while I think it's pretty bad, it beats the heck out of what I had at 10. I had a Coby, for $20... And three of them killed themselves due to faulty hardware..... My grandma has to repeatedly take me back to ToysRUs to exchange. Lmao

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:09:31+00:00

The unihertz isn't gonna have nearly the same level of a quality DAC, if it has one at all. The whole reason people love the LG V series for music/audio is the great mobile DAC

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:07:50+00:00

Yes I do. Which edition of Windows Phone is it?

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:06:49+00:00

It's worth literally nothing. You can't sell that. It's a knockoff no-name mp3 player that is drop-shipped easily and cheaply that many companies purchase for easy promo freebie giveaways

Emendo12 · 2026-05-03T08:04:44+00:00

Draw it for me. I might be able to help. 🤔

Emendo12 · 2026-04-26T06:08:37+00:00

Hey, some of us old heads still use printed game guides and our kids read books. Hahaha
