I don't want something I have to deal with some software like iTunes for and would rather plug in the device into any computer and move files and have the player automatically recognize it....
Look at Fiio. They’re a Chinese company that makes pretty good quality mp3 players. They have some expensive models but also a few for less than a hundred bucks. I’ve owned two of them now and love them.
You can just drag and drop files onto a microSD card and then the player will recognize that new files have been added. It’s super simple to manage and no iTunes or other software required.
Edit: The M5 and M3 pro both use a proprietary OS. The M6 is android based so you can also load Spotify/YT music/tidal/etc. These models are all touchscreen. If you want one more old school without the touch screen, they’re m3k model is still on aliexpress. And they used to have models with scroll wheels (I dont remember the model number) that I’m sure you could find used on ebay or something.
yeah. i think the other problem is that people don’t know if the instance would be good performance wise. i.e. i joined lemmy.ml because it was the one i found first.
A good way to handle it would be to have an instance list. with number of users vs maximum users. like joining a server in a video game. if i see its super full, i’ll pick another server. of course, we’d need some large banners to make sure people know they won’t be missing out on other instances.
There were 3 things going for Reddit, content wise: memes, news, hobby subs. It was a 50/50 if my Google search included reddit or Wikipedia. If reddit threw up a banner every 6 months and asked for a donation, I'd gladly throw 20 bucks their way. Reddit should have been a non-profit.
Going public was the absolute worse decision they ever made.
What is a good old school mp3/flac player I can simply drag and drop files into and be on my way?
