     @binarydigit I have an alternative! Get a refurbished iPod! I have one and it's awesome. Yes, it was steep in price, but it has a new battery and flash memory!

     @binarydigit I’ve seen iPods are becoming a popular route to go down again recently, especially with the mods you can do with some of the generations of the Classic model. I think it was from gen 5 to 7 specifically.

     Expanded storage with micro SD cards, bigger batteries due to having more internal space now there’s no need for a HDD, USB-C port, Bluetooth etc. I think there’s even a mod to add MagSafe charging.

     I think there’s also alternative software that can be used to replace the iPod’s OS so you also don’t have to rely on iTunes either.

     Might be worth looking into as then you don’t have to worry about out of date iOS software eventually making apps unusable.

     @binarydigit Do it!!

     I’ve also been having fun restoring old iPods. I need to blog about the little offline music nook my wife and I made with one of those and a record player.

     @binarydigit mine is limited to 256gb so that might be a deal breaker for you, but i feel like it's more than a real walkman could handle
