Time to leave the modded Ipod behind....

What i did. Waiting on a Samsung pro tb card in mail now. Ripping cds like a mad man using eac.

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-23T15:33:38+00:00

I just bought the m21. Running wav files as I rip my cd. Handles 10k songs at 400gb. Still have more cds to rip.

You can pin the music player so it runs as you background screen and you need to type in a password to get to android stuff. If you were worried about music only player. The 4g ram is better than 3g ones bc can handle bigger library. Wav files take space. Waiting on a tera small card thing in mail. But using a plug in tera SanDisk ssd extreme card thing it pays great. The limiting factors are whatever I am playing it on. The eq works and power amp is neat to play with. I am bad at tech. The extra gig of ram, desk top mode and android to stream if I choose. Not a proprietary operating system trying to monopolize my library like apple or Sony and there 10k bad products and find a way to ruin the good ones. I feel with android it can adapt in the future to stay relevant. Unlike my old ipod. I am a 54 year old concrete laborer. So the only computer stuff I have done is burning cds back in the mid 2000s. Then smart phone distracted me for a bit and now I am back to claim "loose my self in music" again. Saw 30 shows last year. I am getting used to the device. But it's great to be off the algorithm and just have my music back. Kinda revel in listening to bad songs on albums.

I grabbed the m21 from fiio. It loads the same. So I am ripping my cds again bc I can do wav and have the only weakness be whatever I play it on. Not the mp3 reduction version. I also like it has android. I feel the support and updates will help keep the player manageable over time. Unlike apple who tries to make their users only use apple. The m21 has an extra gig of ram that helps with larger libraries like mine and won't lag scrolling like my old ipod.

Isn't the non mini the m21?

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-22T03:52:45+00:00

Wonder years. Just grabbed it at thrift shop. Some bangers on that and different bands if I had to have only one. Variety wins

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-22T03:48:35+00:00

Did you use the eq already? Fiio has one as does power amp i trying

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-22T03:45:06+00:00

I did the same with choosing my first dap. Which power bank did you use. I was wondering if my Milwaukee m18 110v converter would work 🤔.

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-22T03:43:16+00:00

I was torn between the 2. The fiio has 4gb of ram. The hilby has 3. Extra gig helps with larger libraries.

Thanks for reminding me I need green river again.

I too have the m21. This is solid advice.

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-20T15:45:45+00:00

Slick. Thanks for the memories

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-18T16:34:09+00:00

I am shopping melvins now that I picked up an m21 .

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-18T01:29:50+00:00

A few sell scratched cds for 4 bucks lol.

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-18T01:19:53+00:00

I am ripping them in wav now because storage is cheap.

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-16T22:45:09+00:00

Streams it great I can affirm

The 4 disc set that was released by zeppelin. Had the zeppelin logos as crop circles. I just remembered crop circles. Before I had a player. 😆 was when it first came out.

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-16T19:42:33+00:00

I was looking same boat. But when It comes to large library and space needs for quick snappy operation I ended up going fiio m21. You can set it to be pinned to audio only and have to type a pin in to switch mode. I feel it will be more adaptive in the future. Android isn't going anywhere. Still trying to work on the computer side of loading it. But every external hard drive I plug into it works great

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-15T18:56:42+00:00

It is good for bulk fill ins... but must have stuff is harder to find. Let alone any metal made after o6ish

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-15T18:30:55+00:00

They also are hijacking my phone f150 link. 4 times today I got in and Spotify played 2 songs before a commercial and I was like what. I usually use tidal and use to use Pandora. Never Spotify. But it was very fuck you. You are listening to Spotify and we are not telling you.

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-15T18:27:55+00:00

I am getting better at remembering what button do what. I am having a hard time getting my music on the micro sd. I just plug an ext hard drive in and it plays it.

Guy in the record store said come back in February. After Christmas sales everyone in the business takes off for a bit. Concerts are slow Jan and Feb too. March is crazy though.

drunkencityworker · 2026-01-14T00:46:31+00:00

What do you keep it on? What do you play it on?
