I got the itch to have a separate music player from my phone. Became very interested in the Innioasis Y1. It looks like a late model iPod nano (before they went touchscreen; it has the wheel). Bought it and then put the RockBox firmware on it (no simple task if you use Linux, let me tell you). I love it. It’s made me more intentional with my music. Plus I’m acquiring CDs and burning them to my laptop to transfer over to the Y1.
Is that another overpowered smartphone SoC running a wasteful android with a thin UI and dumbed-down music player? If so, let me just repurpose an old smartphone and save the planet from some e-waste. If not, kudos.
