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.

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

I work from home, so I guess I can stop paying taxes? It's not like I was thinking I'd get a real retirement anyway.

I think we are living in the Star Trek universe, but we're just getting to the Bell Riots shown in DS9. No word on if we get much past it.

Yeah, as I said, it is a wacky gimmick, and it does work. My teen kid got a big kick out of it and at the insane price some of the new artists have been charging to get their music in cassette form, it pays for itself in less than three albums if I already had them digitally.

I will say again that it is a $60-ish portable music player, don't expect $1000 Sony gear build quality or interface. I specifically didn't want some sort of Franken-Android DAP, which most newer dedicated music players are, so it worked out.

It's not particularly high end, but I fairly recently bought a Mixxtape MP3 player for $60 new and it works well and can play as a cassette. The gimmick is wacky (but does work), but I mostly got it because I had to switch to a phone without a headphone jack and I wanted something small and inexpensive.

Just throwing it in there that none of my Fiio DACs or amps help up over time, especially with the more portable models. Maybe the build quality is better on their higher end models, but I'm definitely not buying any more of their stuff.
