Find a old iPod shuffle or nano

Posted

As the title says I want to get a mp3 player for when I am running, because my phone is a little irritating to run with. I would love if we could keep it at 30€ or less, I don't care if it's new or used.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

I don't know if Apple does now, but for a while they didn't even support FLAC. Probably because it's free. If you use iTunes to move music your iPod, it may not even read the FLAC file (unless it's been updated; the last time I used it was when I got my 160GB iPod..so whenever that was last new) and you'll have to convert the FLAC to mp3 if you don't already have them. It's pretty annoying, but other music/media library programs can convert an incompatible format in your library to whatever is compatible on your device as you transfer files.

I'm still trying to purge the duplicate MP3/FLAC albums that I have. Between my iPod and Serato Scratch Live not supporting FLAC for a little while (they do now) I had to convert everything that was FLAC to MP3 anyways. I've gotten rid of most of them, but I still will find a random album that has slipped through the cracks. For someone who is extremely AR about their music library, it's maddening. xD

Well apple has their own Lossless version....which is what you should be converting flac to...or what they expect us to do anyway xD
