I miss DAPs, particularly Zune. I still have mine lying around and working but support for it (e.g. music store, software) is gone now. Smartphones have third-party apps but the Zune UI is much better and a DAP just play distraction-free music.
I had a Zune HD! It was perfect.
But looking at the screen today (heck, kahit nga nung 2016 lang) mapapansin mo kaagad how dated the tech is. The pixel density is so, SO bad. Pero yung UI niya with the artist background and album art pati navigation and UX, hanggang ngayon walang peer — and I've cycled through so many modern DAPs from FiiO and Astell & Kern, wala lahat sinabi. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung patented ba ni Microsoft yun or what.
I liked the metal build and the software / ui. I even had the zune pass or whatever it is called. Pero by that time, wala na yung “keep 1 song a month” stuff nila.
I also liked the custom playlists ala excel:
Meron pang
Grabe I missed this. Ngayon liked songs playlist lang or manual create :( Di na programatic / formulaic.
I had this Hitachi audio player –

It was robust and light. The 🔋 life was OK. Had more than enough storage so I put my other files on it. It was an audio player and a usb drive for me. 1 downside was that it wasn't fast. There was a bit of lag when I pressed a button and the thing appeared on the screen. So I couldn't press many buttons very fast. It wouldn't keep up.
I lost it a long time ago. Idk how.
