Now to even find one that I could use a lot....

They actually sell updated ones with Bluetooth. Many that just use a SD Card.

Quit streaming everything.

Own your own media.

I'll take a look and see if there's something of good quality for an affordable price.

The one in the picture is called a Y1 and is a iPod clone for $50

I will certainly take a look. Looks cool, not gonna lie.

I have an iphone 8

If I leave it on airplane mode can it still track me?

Yes.

So annoying

Can you give a quick one liner how?

It's not a magic kill switch. Just partially disables cellular, wifi, and Bluetooth. E911, Find my iPhone, GPS all still work. So do all your sensors so it can retroactively track you. Only way to stop it is to disconnect the battery or put in a faraday bag.

Thank you.

Any recommandations on faraday bags? I checked on amazon by they all seem to be garbage.

Sure do, Amazon like any mass focused marketplace with little to no oversight serves as a cheap entry point and breeding ground for knockoffs and inferior “signal blocking” products that make claims that can’t back up. Might be able to buy two small bags for $10 but they will fail very quick. The confusion is that RFID blocking materials and approach is the same as an actual Faraday cage or bag which it’s not. Many radios to block at various frequencies- buy slnt.com for guaranteed success and style

My wife still covets hers 💜

The sound quality on those is so much better than phones. But "convenience" 🤷🏻

My zune stopped working a couple years ago 😥

Preferably the original iPods.

gen 5.5&6.

(Wolfson DAC, hard drive can be replaced with SD card(s), and can be reflashed with Rockbox)

That way you're not stuck with the limitations of mp3.
