$250 ‽!
no, thanks
If you look at the comparison models, it seems pretty competitive for an audiophile.
iPod was 400 or 500 when it came out.
In the early 2000s. Depending on the generation that's around 800-900 dollars in today's dollars.
That's crazy when you put it like that. $900 to be locked into apple's iTunes hellscape.
But we got much better technology in that time, you can get a 512gb sd card for $30-40 nowadays compared to when the iPhone came out that a 1gb thumb drive would have $10-20
Back then iTunes was good. It was my preferred player for years. It was around the iPhone and afterwards it went to shit.
It also has built in sharing. I remember downloading gigs of music from people on different floors in tlmy dorm in college.
