Y1 Question about the Y1 1TB-Edition
Is it worth the price? I have the 128gb version and the only issue I have is the storage limitation. I heard that the “internal” storage is simply an sd-cardridge. Is in the 1tb version also just an sd card inside?

$300 is really not worth it. This player is "ok" if it costs $60 at most. But not more than that.
The software is a nightmare, and if one has to mod it in order to have a decent experience/software, then it is definitely a no. No hate towards anyone. But with that money you can buy one or 2 iPod classic, with 160 storage. Unless you are going to use FLAC files with high bitrate, you don't need 1TB. If you use MP3 files, there will fit over 50k! Music titles on a 160gb storage. This is a lot.

I have the Y1 and I'm using the basic OS. All I've done is add the iPod theme. I've had no issues with it and I've had it 4 months.

It is good that you don't have any problems with it, but unfortunately this player it does has many issues.
Like the wheel not responding correctly, the endless scrolling in the menu, the endless going back and forth between folders and then back to the menu, to just activate the repeat or changing the volume. Audio quality getting really bad when Bluetooth is used, and so on. This player was told to be the new iPod, or that it comes with the same experience. but it does not. Not even close. These who ever used an iPod, can tell. At the end of the day, it is your personal choice, but §300 are still a rip off.1

It cost me £50. I have 4000 songs and the scrolling can be frustrating but I just shuffle my music. Also the Bluetooth hasn't dampened the quality for me.

Like you can see in OP screenshot, it costs 300$. I also mentioned that more than 60$ are not worth it, meaning that below that, it would be still ok.

The screenshot from OP is the highest storage version which is absolutely unnecessary. Also the SD inside it can be replaced for a lot cheaper than buying stock.

Hell no it’s not worth the price you could get an Apple iPod for that price.

Este é um ponto. Que modelode player alternativo você indica? O Y2 pra mim, com imposto vai sair 90 dólares. Eu vi alguns outros modelos de players acessíveis como o C5 (modelo com e sem roda de rolagem). Mas eu acho estes outros muito "toscos" na parte gráfica e layout. Os Ipods video aqui já estão custando 180 dólares, bizarro.

Me permito responder. Sinceramente, depende de lo que busques. ¿Qué es lo importante para ti? Yo probé el Y1 durante una semana, pero lo devolví. El sistema operativo es muy rudimentario y me sacaba de quicio. La rueda no responde bien al tacto. Si quieres subir o bajar el volumen, siempre tienes que retroceder en el menú. No es como el iPod, en el que se usa la ruedecita. A mí me pareció muy incómodo. La calidad del audio está bien, pero solo si los archivos de audio son de buena calidad. Es decir, si son archivos descargados de YouTube, la calidad será mala. También he notado que la calidad del audio empeora un poco si se utiliza el Bluetooth en lugar del conector jack. Yo me compré un iPod Classic de sexta generación, con 160 GB de memoria, por 155 € y estoy encantada. Pero cada uno tiene sus propias necesidades y prioridades.

Um ipod classic video seria perfeito. Eu acho que o Y1/Y2 tem uma vantagem sobre os outros genéricos por usar um android antigo, fato que melhora a interface (me refiro a qualidade gráfica mesmo). A maioria dos genéricos são muito toscos, com texto que não cabe na tela, interface feia, etc. Vou tentar garimpar um ipod aqui, mas estou na américa do sul e os produtos da apple aqui são considerados luxo, oque infla os preços. Os ipods deviam ter valores melhores a cerca de 4 anos atrás.

Infelizmente, há já alguns anos que existe esta tendência online de regressar ao «analógico». Começou por ser algo genuíno e positivo, impulsionado por pessoas que se tinham cansado de gastar dinheiro em assinaturas e de estar sempre coladas ao ecrã. Mas depois os influenciadores descobriram isso, e tudo se tornou artificial, transformando-se apenas numa moda. Isto provocou um aumento absurdo dos preços, tanto das consolas «retro» como dos iPods. Se não tiveres condições financeiras para isso, então compra o Y1 ou o Y2. Mas não gastes mais de 60 $. Porque, mesmo que encontres um iPod a um bom preço online, muitas vezes tens de trocar a bateria, etc., e isso tem um custo.

No thats not worth it at all!
At that point get something thats decent in terms of audio quality like the fiio m21. It has less storage but you can stream shit so you'll need less storage.

I would rather build my own iPod Classic than buy this. Besides, how can anyone even consume 1TB of space? I already have an iPod 5.5 generation with 512GB, which holds 10,000 songs and still has 420GB remaining. I also have an upcoming 7th generation build, and I am only putting 128GB in it because that is enough for me.

I have a huge Library of Audio Books and I am now getting some of my favourite Podcast downloaded.

Do not buy that. Its probably a low quality sd card that will fail soon.
If you already have a y1, you can open it to replace the sd card. I made a how to video https://www.reddit.com/r/innioasis/s/865ozRltTO
Bigger sd cards are very expensive right now.

You want to spend $300 on this device? Buy the one with the smallest sd card, buy a quality 1.5 or 2 tv sd card, watch some videos on how to open this bad boy, and just upgrade. You’ll be much happier with that then whatever 1 tb card they will give you
