i realized i'm a big local music enjoyer, all the music i listen to is stored in files and i even have vlc on my phone to listen to it. (all of them are legally downloaded of course!!) sadly yesterday i moved all those files to my chromebook and it really slowed it down, (the files total 1gigabyte, woa). so why not get an mp3 player?? that can save storage on my phone and chromebook.

by the way i did try youtube music one time but i realized, what if youtube music disappeared?? all the music would be gone! so yea that's why i prefer local files

Sure! You can get an iPod classic that's had the storage upgraded, and I've heard it's a really great option for people who don't want to use their phone or online services for music.

yea thank you!! i don't dislike music streaming, i'm just worried because since you don't own the files, they can stop existing at any time

Where can you buy an iPod classic nowadays? I agree though if you can find a classic it is the best purely music player that has ever been made. The battery life was awesome in those things.

I still have my iPod Classic from I think 2007 - I even found a Bluetooth gadget that plugs into the headphone jack so I can listen on my hearing aids. The battery life is indeed awesome. I also use it in my car, which has a usb slot. I dread the day it dies, they stopped making them years ago.
