You can tell whether I’m posting from my phone or my desktop by whether I use a or a ?!.

(This one was from my desktop despite the interrobang, but that’s because I could easily copy-paste yours.)

Not that easily. I could read theirs, but yours was a box

I’m here with a usb c to 1/8" jack like a moron! The EU pushed replaceable batteries, maybe we need a headphone jack bill haha.

Paradoxically, all cheap devices come with one, and even with an FM radio, so cheap devices actually have more stuff than high end smartphone. Also please give me an FM radio FFS, it is one of the most usueful services during emergencies and other situation, also I like listening radio thanks

Probably because most FM stations have apps.

Back in the dumb phone era I had some Ericson TDMA bar phone that had (very basic) web browsing and a combination FM radio/Headset adapter. I specifically remember reading live 9/11 updates on it during class.

I LOVE the idea. I’m slowly mutating into a wired earbud audiophile (not sure what they call themselves), and the sound is just so much cleaner; plus there’s nothing to charge.

4 hours of music on these ones!

Mine just plug in.

I’m curious about the 30 day battery

Could just be the regular battery not having to supply power to an energy sucking spinning disk.

Probably the same original form factor but a new lithium ion

I think the SSD uses more power than the original hard drives do. I bought an adapter for the iPod classic to put an SD card in it and there was a few articles about power draw being higher for ssds. I might be misremembering the comparison though, it’s been a couple years.

That may be due to other factors. I will be up front that I don’t have a lot of specifics, but I do know this: in retro computing, SD is hard to implement as a replacement for old-school disks because it means a lot of overhead. For that reason, Compact Flash is still the preferred format for a lot of products aimed at that space.

Perhaps that is at play here, because increased overhead should also equal a reduction in battery life (modulo the spinning disk).

Wow, that’s really surprising, you’d think a spinning platter would draw more power than solid state transistors

I used a modern 3000mA lithium ion battery which provides about 60 hours of music playback. That’s about 2 hours per day which is much more than I use!

60 hours is two and a half days.

How much is that in watt-hours?

They sell 3000mah replacement batteries vs the original 850mah. I think some solid state drives can save power, but others can use more.

Man, the Zune was the best MP3 player experience in its day… They even had the OG music subscription service. For $15 bucks a month and then they let you keep $15 of music forever. So it was a no brainier if you’d buy an album a month anyway.

Dude that thing is sick. I use my phone for music, and it’s okay except for the dozen spam calls I get every day interrupting it. And there’s no setting for that, of course.

Many phones have “Do not disturb”-mode, or even airplane mode.

You can also go into the settings and disconnect from your mobile provider if you really want peace and quiet.

Android actually automatically rejects spam calls if you tell it to. They’ve had it for over half a decade now.

I think they mean no setting to continue playing music. Most people want to leave the phone active, no matter how annoying, in case they get something important.

Make a do not disturb option that blocks calls from numbers you don’t know. Everyone you care about can still reach you easily.

With that playlist feature that’s never been ported? Somebody posted about it here. Lets you choose a vibe from your local music, offline. Goes by BPM and something.

I think you’re referring to Sony’s ‘SensMe’ function. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to use it because it relies on their proprietary software which isnt available for my OS. Would be great to have it baked into the device.

For real I wish there was a way to get my phone to play only music through headphones or speaker. Any time I get a notification I want it only through my phone’s speaker and not what I’m listening to music to.
