I have a large music library that I don’t have much storage left for on my phone. There are of course other ways of solving this problem, but are there any good dedicated music players like iPods still around?
Ideally I’d like it to have Bluetooth functionality for wireless headphones, at least 512GB of storage, and an SD card slot. Possibly physical buttons as well.

I know we’re talking audiophiles here but the budget option is £350!
Yeah i was also a bit shook 😅😅😅 but if you think about a device with Bluetooth, a decent chip for processing (they all will aim for high bitrates), touch screen, good quality DAC, youd maybe expect 200 ish.
Then when you factor in that these will be very low volume runs since not many people buy them, it makes a bit of sense.
However, I’m sure there are some decent more cut down options out there that they could have found.
