So after five years, my old iPod Touch died. This is not a concern of the hundreds of songs I had on it, I have all the original CD's and recordings (still). So I'm debating what to do next.
This isn't about moving forward either. I have no interest in storing this much music on my phone, tying the phone up from navigation of communication. I actually used my iPod for background music between sets, and it can also be the emergency device in my solo act if my computer (running the same files) dies.
But I'm wondering if I should try one of the myriad mp3 players made by other companies? Heck, I was looking at some of those little SanDisk sport mp3 players that could be had for $60. My question is, how hard or easy is it to load files into those and then organize the files into playlists and such? Does anybody use one of these third-party mp3 players? Obviously they're a lot cheaper than a $200 32GB iPod Touch, but is it as easy to use for $60?
I'd appreciate anybody's thoughts on this.
