The battery will last a for a double-digit hours of FLAC listening, but don't expect to go days without charging. ![]() It's relatively small, nice and lightweight, and durable enough for those that know they'll drop it occasionally. Quickly move files around with a USB-C and listen with bluetooth headphones or wired headphones. The good news? This thing does everything else to perfection. Everything moves a bit slow, especially compared to the smartphone you're giving up for this thing. The bigger issue is that it makes the thing a bit clunky. Remedy that with a high-storage microSD card. But, with hi-res music files, 32GB wouldn't last that long anyway. The Android 12 OS takes up a big chunk of the 32GB of on-device storage.

This is as far into the serious DAP category as I'll advise most people to go, audiophiles included. If you want this to be a music player for a kid, Apple's got a comprehensive set of parental controls. With an old iPhone, you can connect to Wi-Fi when you need, download (lossless!) music from a streaming platform, and listen to it distraction free when you're out in the world. But honestly, that's a pain in the ass process you can leave behind. Maybe you want to download all your music onto your computer and move it to your player. The real reason I'm suggesting an iPod Touch is the convenience. If you want to get into the hobbyist aspect of it, go for it. These days, streaming services like Apple Music's, Qobuz, and Tidal offer lossless streamed music, so there's no reason to prioritize FLAC files from your computer anymore. But, if you just want the general experience of an MP3 player, we can make that work. If you want to listen to your original music or deep-cut live recordings that aren't on streaming services, you're shit out of luck. I'll acknowledge that adding your own MP3 or lossless files to an iPod Touch is moving towards impossible in 2024, since Apple is steadily working to shutter iTunes. This isn't what anyone wants to hear, but let me make the case. Honestly, one of your best bets is just an old iPod Touch. These are the best MP3 players (DAPs!) to help you do it. You can keep living like it's 2004, wired headphones (or wired earbuds) and all. It's tough, but you can still download full music libraries on to these little players. But for the in-betweeners, the trust old MP3 player-actually they are called Digital Audio Players (DAP) now-is the gadget for you. Tech is flying forward, and the music industry has gone the way of extremes. But, there's nowhere more difficult for that than non-streamed digital music. There's just always a collection of people who want to hold onto the old thing. Vinyl is the obvious comparison for stuff like this, but DVDs are holding strong in the same fashion. Woah, why are you here? Like, I'm glad you are, but why are you trying to buy an MP3 player in 2024? Are you a luddite Boomer? Are you a Zoomer that wants to contradict Big Tech? Are you a parent that wants to give your kid access to music without giving them full access to the internet? Or, are you an audiophile that swears streamed music isn't up to your standards? No matter who you are, you're among friends here.
