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.

Especially when you can update them with stuff like Rockbox.

https://www.rockbox.org/

I've been meaning to replace the battery on my 1st generation iPod, getting a firewire card, and putting Rockbox on it.

tbh I didn't like rockbox. I used a random program called FooBar2000 with some 3rd party plugin found on a dead forum to let me drag and drop .mp3-s on it.

I don't have the exact link but this guide seems pretty similar https://www.howtogeek.com/24473/how-to-use-your-ipod-with-foobar2000/

rockbox seems like a dope project, it just wasn't for me.

How dare you enjoy something different than my suggestion! /s

FooBar2000 is a classic program, wild it's been around for over 20 years and is still being developed!

It's still the best Windows music app. It is one of the only things I miss from Windows.
