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.

I have a Hiby R3 and have enjoyed it. https://store.hiby.com/products/hiby-r3-ii-2025

It's smaller than a phone, but the screen is still large enough to scroll through your collection with. Also, it's not running Android, which I like. (For some reason I'm just irked by the fact that everything around me is running Android these days.) So there aren't any apps -- it's just a music player, which I also like.

The R1 is also good if you want something a bit cheaper.

[–] tuckerm@feddit.online 2 points 7 hours ago

It does look nice. The R1 wasn't available when I bought my R3, but if it was, I think I would have gone with an R1 instead. I don't really need the 4.4 mm balanced output jack that the R3 has, and although the aluminum of the R3 does feel nice, the R1 is quite a bit lighter.

Nice. I also wanted a DAP that didn't run Android and I ended with the fun and ultra gimmicky Mixxtape (you can use the device itself as a cassette tape). It was only $60-ish, so don't expect top tier build quality or interface, but I am pretty happy with it.

Wow, that is a very creative idea, I love it! :D
