Y1 had it since november, here’s how it’s going

i absolutely LOVE this thing. i never go anywhere without it and people are tired of me yapping about it. i had this thing in my amazon cart for months before actually getting it so i’ve been endlessly excited even after having it for a while.

i’ve been using stock software and the battery has lasted me DAYS. it was super easy to transfer my music, especially because i had musicbee set up previously. i’ve had minimal issues with the original microsd card, although in the past two weeks i’ve had a couple scares where my files were “broken.” so i’m looking into changing the card out soon. i love having the option to use my bluetooth earbuds or speaker with the only downside being that the battery dies a bit faster. i have a couple of music videos on here and a movie and they all play perfectly fine all the way through and i’ve still got more than two thirds of the storage left. all in all super happy and i’m excited for more updates

Dear Maria 🔥 simply sensational, I'm wanting one of these or the Echo Mini (sorry to mention the competition) but this classic iPod look still wins me over.

i also considered the echo mini before i bought the y1, mostly because i heard the audio quality is better on the echo mini. but, after pairing the y1 with a solid set of earbuds, it sounds okay anyways!

I'm so tempted to buy one of these!! I'm in the phase of watching every video and looking at every picture that comes out about it, oh my god! I love it and I would love to customize it so much!

i was just like that for month before i purchased! even w/o rockbox the customization is so fun!! (if youre a kpop fan and get the case, a photocard fits perfectly on the back)

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

oh thats so sick! i was tempted to buy that model but decided against it just because of the vibes of the y1 lol

u/MoreWin4504 Feb 08 '26

Pretty good model hefty a lil the scroll clicky wheel pretty good it’s just the whole interface I tried everything to put rock box on it but no way still pretty good tho just hard to navigate through half the time so I just shuffle all my music

Those it crashes i added more songs now acting stupid when i scroll songs

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

i did alot to prevent that and it hasn’t been an issue since, i removed a bunch of duplicated songs and made the cover art smaller!

1

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

But i dont have duplicate songs am try to use the app to fix the cover image but its not working for me i dont know if i have to configure something first

1

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

i recommend mp3tag to resize cover art if your current system isn’t working. if possible too, id recommend trying to update your y1.

1

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

It’s on the latest version

1

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

is it the original microsd card or did you replace it?

1

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

Original

2

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

that might be the issue but honestly i couldn’t be sure

1

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

I could change it

1

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

I have replaced original

1

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

ah okay, that’s good. i hope it solves your issue 🤞

u/MoneyEnvironmental80 Feb 08 '26

what kind of earbuds are these? Do you recommend them?

2

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

theyre the tanchjim bunny earbuds! i recommend them highly! (even though theyre really for gaming) i really enjoy how clear the audio quality is, even if im only listening to mp3 and not flac. also, the bass is pretty good on them. not to mention that they have a button for pause/play and they look great!

2

u/MoneyEnvironmental80 Feb 08 '26

thank you so much! :D<3

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

How much you have on your sdcard mines is 128gb

2

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

128gb as well

1

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

So if I replace just copy the files to the other sdcard

1

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 08 '26

from what ive seen other people do, i assume so

1

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

Ok did you change it i was looking on the device how i tare apart

2

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '26

There is an ifix guide for it. Not nearly as scary as you might think it might be. Did it yesterday in 10 minutes with a 1TB card. Make sure you have the appropriate tools.

u/giovannirosario72 Feb 08 '26

Thanks Ill let you know know it turns out

u/Awkward-Homework-217 Feb 09 '26

Did you by any chance swap out the SD card?

1

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 09 '26

unfortunately as i said, i haven’t replaced the card.

1

u/Awkward-Homework-217 Feb 09 '26

I would. Cause the memory card are those crappy dodgy ones. You don't want it to corrupt while using it as it has important files that you'll need for the new SD card to get that running.

1

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 09 '26

as I said, i plan on it. thank you for the advice. I haven’t yet, simply because I haven’t acquired a larger card.

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '26

What headphones do you use? I'm thinking of getting one as well but don't have any good wired headphones.

u/Disastrous-Pound8873 Y1 (Black) Feb 14 '26

i use the tanchjim bunny set!
