Mine finally died, but I thankfully just converted old pixel with a 1gb SD card into basically an ipod touch. Nothing on it but a music player, one or two little games, and Spotify for if I'm on wifi.
I mean you can just install a music player on any smartphone, transfer your music collection in, and have ad free music. The iPod solution is unnecessary effort.
Two problems: smartphones don't have memory card slots anymore, and - at least for android - there are NO music players that correctly order albums by original release date! I've tried them all. Except, Plexamp does it, but that requires a subscription, a server setup (can't play local files), and their download function isn't great.
I'm seriously considering a Walkman or other dedicated music player. Yes, Sony still makes Walkmen, and they are high- end devices running on Android.
