Picked up a dedicated audio device recently (with another few on the way!), and it feels nice to curate my own offline, add-free, algorithm-free listening experience. Having music myself his been half the fun of this, I won't be using any streaming app going forward.

It is also super adorable:

Oh man, wait until you're camping craigslist ads for used DAPs (Digital audio player, fancy speak for music player)... I got my DX180 for cheap there, then picked up some grados. Decent headphones and a good audio chip is some magic shit.

How do you discover new artists? That is the main thing keeping me from doing this.

[–] yessikg@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Listen to the radio, read music news or listen to podcasts if you prefer, go to local music venues

[–] Archr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Any particular news sites you like or just a general app with music categories selected?

[–] yessikg@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

I just the mainstream news like Rolling Stone or Billboard, I do have Readly subscription which has access to less mainstream magazines

KEXP, Audiotree, Tiny Desk and more

Plus the bands that open for the bands I like. Even if I don't go to the concert, I look up who's opening it.

[–] Archr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks. I looked at a few of these. I think I have seen tiny desk before a long time ago. And I already found a new thing I like :)

I've never really thought about looking up the openers for concerts that I don't go to. Great idea.

Can you sync the music to it wirelessly?

[–] PerfectDark@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

No! Just via a USB cable.

I just got another one delivered yesterday which has a slot for an SD card, though. But tbh this is the benefit to me, it forces me to be intentional with what I load on.
