I don’t want something I have to deal with some software like iTunes for and would rather plug in the device into any computer and move files and have the player automatically recognize it.

Want to use it when going for runs. Audio jack and Bluetooth support is a must. No need for anything else fancy

Edit: I came across the SanDisk 16GB Clip Sport Plus MP3 Player. Seems like it might be what I’m looking for. Anyone have any other simple mp3 players with Bluetooth support they recommend?

    VLC. Plays literally everything. Will try and play things that aren’t even media files. Sometimes succeeds.

      I guess I need to add some other details. I meant a hardware mp3/flac device. Like old school ipods.

        I almost thought you meant software as well…flac isn’t particularly in the old school category. In fact old school ipods couldn’t play flac.

        I’d imagine you wouldn’t find a lot of support for it without as someone else said, going into alternative firmware.

          Yeah, was wondering if maybe there had been some budget audiophile compact options that were no bigger than the size of ipod Nanos that were lurking around.

          So not old school, but at least old school in not being a smart device.

            Someone left a comment on [redacted] that spoke highly of the HiBy R2 II. I can’t speak for it but that might be up everyone’s alley here.

            I’m still rocking a 6th gen iPod I just recently refurbished so I may not be the best advice here.

      I think they’re asking for hardware, not software
