do-you-have-a-flag:

old mp3 player propaganda for you:

  1. predates planned obsolescence that pushes you to upgrade to the exact same product every year
  2. saves you phone battery by being a dedicated seperate device
  3. no streaming reception issues no buffering
  4. easily portable
  5. full control of order or shuffle
  6. NO ADS
  7. actually pocket sized yes even for annoyingly small designed pockets on women’s trousers
  8. conscious music curation, even if you are discovering new music elsewhere you have to decide if you like it enough to keep it in regular listening
  9. more tactile than touch screen smart devices so you can use the controls without looking
  10. actual radio inbuilt no subscription needed
  11. audio jack for headphones or speaker means no faffing around with adaptors or bluetooth charging or connecting to the wrong device or losing connection
  12. no notifications
  13. surprisingly durable
  14. many mp3 players are still multimedia devices with voice record and text or video viewing functions
  15. yes you still might use your phone for the internet or games but also consider no external access to the device without physically plugging it into a computer as a security function
  16. small device kind of cute kind of fun to look at and hold in ur hands like a small creature kind of fun to decorate and accessorise with

my one specifically i was able to download the software from the brand’s website because they still have the software and manuals available for discontinued tech and it works no problem, even the battery life still seems fine which i can not say for ANY of the phones i got in the last decade

wait one more thing:

17. NO ACCOUNT CREATION NO DATA COLLECTING
