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 don’t have a specific recommendation, but I believe the key words to search for these days are “Digital Audio Player”.

    I’ve been following the open hardware Tangara for a while, but they’re between production runs right now so you can’t buy from them (you might be able to build your own though, the design is all there)

    As a heads up, like so many other technologies the middle has fallen out of the market thanks to the proliferation of smart phones. You’ll be paying a lot for anything decent from what I’ve seen

      The Tangara is interesting technically, but the firmware is a bit half-baked, and large parts of it are written in Lua, and thus slow. I had one but sold it, and got a Rockboxed HifiWalker H2.
