I dug up my old iPod that I got in 2005, flash modded it and I've been using for like 2 months, and could not be happier. I've copied all of the music I own, that I bought from bandcamp, qobuz etc. and my ripped CDs into it. After seeing this, I'm happy that I did the right choice to cancel my Spotify subscription back then.

Also, if I ever need streaming, I could stream my own music using a free server software such as Navidrome etc.
