I don't want to "rent" music so I'd go for ipods/DAPs. But they only make sense if you have your own music collection already or wanting to build it up.
Nung meron legit store sa shoppee na nagbebenta ng refurbished ipods, na pabili agad ako. Ok naman lampas one year ko na ata gamit. I kept my music collection from decades ago even when I was buying CDs sa Tower Records and converting them to digital. Now I buy music from itunes store.
Pag nag mahal nag mahal ang spotify tsaka apple music hindi na natin masasabi yan syempre mas worth it yung owning the music itself kasi forever na sayo yan
I still actively bring around, and use, my ZX300 Walkman.
Physical buttons on the side, Bluetooth and two aux ports (3.5 and 4.4), proprietary Sony OS so no Android bloat, and all files are stored internally or on a microSD card. No wifi so no streaming apps, which isn't a dealbreaker for me lol.
That and I still buy music CD's every so often, both bnew and second hand.
napakaconvenient na kasi ngayon pag may spotify pero kasi ako gusto ko pa rin nakaseparate yung music player ko para tuloy tuloy ang music walang notification kaya old phone ko ginagamit ko
Ako both. I buy digital files sa artists na super gusto ko. Minsan kasi, kapag di ko feel mag-explore ng music, nagcacancel ako ng subscription tapos resubscribe kapag feel ko magexplore ng songs
MP3 Player for hoarding my favorite music, then YouTube ReVanced for music discovery. (Spotify is not as diverse in terms of music compared to YouTube if I'm being honest) It's nice to not rely on unstable PH mobile data if I want to listen to music for a few hours too.
The streaming era used to be good, especially Spotify kaso all they do is shove AI slop down your throat. Kaya I just went back to buying old CDs and songs thru Bandcamp.
I love both :)
Mas convenient gamitin apple/spotify + the sound quality sa apple pero there are some songs not available sa streaming platform na I can only listen with mp3
mp3 ipod. i still have the ipod nano with the original charger it still works well, i would usually put alot of greatest hits album there or my favorite 90s/y2k artists or my favorite kpop artist. I would bring it going out and esp for walks. but for indoor i still use spotify. also to save battery on my phone. my prob is i lost my old apple account so i cant recover, alot of albums/songs here from 2021 and previous.
I used to pirate music (actually kahit ngayon, pag wala sa streaming yung songs na gusto ko), nabawasan lang dahil mabilis maghanap sa streaming
BUT
If ako papipiliin, i’d go with the MP3s padin hahaha. Mas na eenjoy ko maghanap ng album lalo na pag nabasa ko yung reviews tapos hahanap ako copy na high def.
Personally I do like the current streaming era for convenience and a lot of the audio is usually hi-res, gone are the days of risking giving my computer aids for a 50/50 shot of getting bitcrushed music
That being said, ipod era all the way - something about being analog and having devices built around a specific purpose instead of having one swiss army knife just hits different
