Posted by substance J on December 01, 2016 at 12:53:12 EST in reply to Hopefully I'll release an episode of OG Ota explaining this, but the short of it is this: I stopped using my MZ-R90 as my main portable player in 2004 when I got an iPod Mini. It was a tough choice but I wanted more capacity and convinence and the iPod Mini was more than $100 cheaper than the upcoming HiMD players so I made the switch. In the end I have to say that for most things a Mini beats an MZ-R90. However, now it's 2016 and they don't make clickwheel iPods anymore, they make phones, and for whatever reason Apple has decided that it's their way of the highway when it comes to listening to music and I think I'll take the high road. "Music" (iOS) is an unrealiable PIT ASS and simply cannot be used "in a hurry" or with your eyes not on the screen. They've sabotaged my library to make me want Apple Music and it's never ever happening, not on my "main player" anyway. And with the elimination of the headphone jack they've sealed the deal. Fuck em. I left MD for Apple because Apple was more convenient, now they aren't, and the MZ-R90 still works %100 (even found a source for batteries) so I'm back to this and I genuinely love it. BTW, my iPod Mini still works too but Apple stopped supporting it at some time so you need to maintain a vintage computer and OS and iTunes to use it. With an MD player all I need is "audio". Of almost any kind. Translation: MD outlasted the iPod. (n/t) from SignOfZeta.

Whoa, can you really not manage a clickwheel iPod on current iTunes? Fuck.
