I love coming back to the iPod. It's great having almost all of my music on one device that only does one thing: playing music.

My listening habits are much better when I listen to downloaded music than when streaming. On streaming services I tend to listen to lots of lists and I end listening to the same songs for long periods of time. On my computer and the iPod I usually listen to full albums, in order. It's a different experience. I listen to the songs as the artist intended when publishing the album.

It's an iPod gen 7 with the the HD replaced by a 128gb microSD. The firmware is the holy rockbox.

That's what I've always done in fact, so I'm afraid that's not it... The FiiO has an SD slot that's very easy to reach, fortunately. I had an IPod Photo before, which I also modded to use an SD card, and getting to that was quite a hassle ๐Ÿ˜… The card was also getting corrupted in that thing, plus the battery was not impressive.

(That was with the same SD card, in fact, which of course might actually be the issue. I formatted it since the transfer, but maybe it's just inherently corrupted...)
