It’s funny to have been on the front end of the rapid consolidation of devices only to see the tail end of it when we distribute them again.
What’s the benefit of this device when you can just put your audio files directly on your phone or laptop already?
Phones distract, phones nowadays have no headphone jack (fuck Bluetooth), Laptop isn’t very portable. I love having a dedicated device for music.
Edit: oh, and no fucking Touch Screen bullshit. I can just reach into my pocket and blindly operate the thing.
You’re entitled to your preferences, but why you gotta be so rude?
I was in a mood yesterday. Didn’t mean to be rude to anyone. Just venting some steam.
People here are complaining about another device to carry around, android phones not having enough storage, streaming being better etc.
There are programs and apps to stream your own. I have a nas (network attached storage) where I keep my music. It came with a music player and a mobile app out of the box that can stream and cast my collection. Plex can also do it quite easily. I’m sure there are others too.
I find Navidrome to be pretty fantastic. I set it up on an orange pi I had laying around just last week.
