iPod classic broke - need a worthy successor - PLEASE HELP! - Page 2

Several have predicted that the 'dedicated music player' will disappear entirely, replaced by cheap mobile phones with a $5 DAC chip that sounds as good as 90% of the population 'need' - hasnt happened yet, but that doesnt mean it wont happen. Many of us can remember when you bought a dedicated sound card for your PC as a matter of course - now onboard does the job for most, including casual gamers - we overestimate the allure of 'hi-fi' sound in an arena custom made for DSP.

Using your phone as a music player also sucks the battery life out of it. Whereas many dedicated MP3 have vastly better battery life. No point having a phone if its always out of battery when you need it!

That said phones these days have easy charging and battery packs available.
