I want to get less reliant on my phone and go out more without it. One of the big use cases for my phone is music.

I have a lot of local music files and I would like to transfer them to a mp3 player. I would prefer something offline that I can drag files too. Also Bluetooth would be a plus so I can continue to use my earbuds.

Something easy to navigate would be ideal too. Basically like what iPods were like with a small screen where you can navigate easily and see album artwork.

    Please, don’t go out without a phone. You never know when you will need it to call the police or an ambulance for example

    (Ignore the example if in the US)

        Having a device able to call emergency services sounds like a pretty important thing to me

      I managed without a phone when I was 8, I can manage now. I often go out without it.

        People managed without seatbelts for a lot of time, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t necessary

        I rather have the pocket phone + video recorder multitool because I might need to record evidence if I’m being targeted for a hate crime. If I’m gonna die, the world needs to know who killed me.

          Statistically you’re more likely to kill a white person than one of them kill you btw.

          I agree with the rest though - why wouldn’t you just carry your phone? It has a bunch of useful features that you never know when you’ll need. One of them is even to play music like OP wants!
