New Wave Outpost Forum

I mainly listened to them during commutings/flights via my phone/iPod/iPad or Sony Digital Walkman. At home, I prefer to listen to my CD/Cassettes. I would occasionally stream them to my receiver.

I would estimate I only listen to 150-300 GB of songs while the majority never get played.

I bought a cheap media player (The first gen WD player) which I never used as they are slow and cumbersome. One of the major drawback for me is the need to turn on my TV as there is no build in display on the player.

I paid for Plex to build my personal cloud for music and then again it was a pain to use particularly if the albums are not tagged properly.

So how do you guys listen to your collections?

Would a player like this be a good option?

At work - iPhone linked to a little external speaker
In my home office - on my Mac desktop
At home / vacation house - iPad
On planes trains & automobiles - iPhone with Airpods
Having mobile Apple devices with my entire music library synced makes it pretty easy to access everything and move it around as desired

Side note: not everything I had on LP & cassette was available in digital format, for that stuff I used LP and Cassette digitizers to get it into a digital format. So no need for physical media or a stereo or turntable or cassette deck or speakers any longer )) I sold it all on eBay )) Much happier now.
