I have a small mp3 (sandisk). About 16GB, around 4000 songs. I carry it with all the time (when travelling, when doing sports, when running, etc). The best thing is that it's small, so I can just hang it anywhere on my clothes and call it a day. I still download mp3s from here and there like in the old days (and have backups as well).
Why not using my smartphone? I don't carry it when doing sports, for instance (it's so uncomfortable).
Same. I keep a small playlist of mp3 files in Google Drive and sync when I update it. SanDisk is cheap and great for exercising. I hate lugging around my phone and letting it distract me.
