Walkman used to be a lo-fi cassette player. Now it's a hi res digital player.

[@bektas1453]

If there was a sim slot in this I'd definitely use it as a phone.

[@EwanJP2001]

A phone this small would be amazing. I’d strongly consider carrying around a portable hotspot to go with it if I didn’t need to take phone calls. It fits in the mini pocket on my jeans!

[@Mingzhe583]

@@lucasn82_ Even though it is special just get everything from JBL because they're just the best they have the best speakers out there and they do sound the best Even though the sound core might sound more open than JBL charge 5 The JBL charge 5 is a more budget speaker is worth affordable it's more durable the JBL Xtreme 3 it's also more durable but sounds louder and have more bass than the charge 5 but it puts more of an emphasis on the highs so it can sound bright but the sound core sounds a lot more balanced than the JBL Xtreme 3 because it doesn't put as much of an emphasis on the highs but JBL's always the best

It is, but only for the stock player app because it’s built into that instead of being a system-wide feature. The performance is just about good enough for that and Spotify, it definitely isn’t amazing but I have no complaints about speed.

Why are people asking about 32bit? Are you talking about 32bit/384kHz files? It doesn't change the quality of the sound its only make for mixing tracks like in 32bit float.

[@BigLebowski1337]

Can someone explain why we still need a dedicated music player when you have Spotify on SmartPhones? I genuinely ask this as I cannot fathom why.

[@THEODSTKING117]

Streaming music from a smartphone doesn’t put out the same audio quality that these digital audio players do. Some people prefer having devices that serve only one function but does it well. It’s a refreshing change from having a smart phone that offers infinite possibility of distraction. There’s nothing that can get in the way of you and your music. No calls, notifications, poor internet connection. Songs can’t just disappear from your playlists when the label/artist has some licensing. issue. Most of all ownership. Spotify n other services gives you zero ownership and security over the music you enjoy. They can take songs and whole albums away whenever. Having a library of songs on a SD card is way better imo
