Does anyone make dedicated high capacity MP3 players anymore or has the smart phone market with cloud storage and services like Spotify and stuff pretty much killed them?
Right now I'm using a crappy old Android phone with a 64 gig micro SD card, Rocket Player, Audible, and Podcast Addict as my primary music player. It's certainly functional enough but it's twitchy. I've got the last generation iPod Classic but it bricked itself at some point and I've never got around to fixing it.
I sorta miss the old days of the high capacity hard disk based iPods and Creative Zens and hell even the Zune. MP3 players period are practically a dead concept and the few that are still being produced seem to be micro SD based. The only real movement in the industry is a couple of very high end "audiophile" players but tend to run monstrously expensive.
Right now a 2tb 2.5 inch hard runs under a hundred bucks. All most of the old hard drive based music players were was a laptop hard drive with a battery and a media player front end in a case. There's no reason a massive capacity music player shouldn't be a viable product in the under 200-250 dollar range.
Maybe I can finagle something together with a Raspberry Pi, one of those hard drives, and one of those power pack external battery packs.
