hey all. So like I am sure many of you, particularly those in the older age ranges, I have a gigantic music collection.
When Apple stopped making the iPod classic many years ago, I had a customized one that stored 256 gb, and then later, when that died, I moved on to a 128 gb iPod Touch. Now that's going away. And looking around, none of the portable music players seem to be very in fashion these days.
So what do people do here to listen to your own music on the go? Does everyone just stream? I mean, I have a huge vinyl and CD collection and I've digitized the entirety of my CD collection (thousands of albums). But I'm unsure what to do now to take that music with me. My old iPod touch simply doesn't have the capacity, and I'm doing some research and some of these standalone, non Apple MP3 devices aren't as compatible with cars.
I know many stream on their phones -- but I don't want to take up my phone memory with my huge music collection. My 128 gb phone would be overwhelmed, particularly with the photos and videos I have on there.
I need a device that I can bring into the office, hook up to play on speakers, and then put back in the car. Does anyone even still do that, and if so, what are you using? Because while I know I'm a dinosaur, I didn't think I was as old as TAC.
But maybe I am.
Thoughts, suggestions? All my albums are at 256 kbps MP3 and that's what's currently on my iPod touch. But it's only about 1/3 of my entire collection.
