i need a new mp3 player. i don't want to carry a phone, but a replacement for this non-proprietary ipod mini kind of thing would be nice, because i need a longer charging time. it was 10 hours max when i bought it in 2005 but it's come down to 4-5 and it's just not enough anymore. i'd say the $50 lasted me. what is on the market that can replace it?
i don't want to have to install software to use it and i don't want it to use drm. i just want to drag and drop files. i have a total boycott on apple products, and have for the last 20 years.
