I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.

But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

    The unlock tool has been yanked & the unlock servers have been down since May. Tea leaves say unlocking support is gone.

      I see. That is most unfortunate. Another vendor dropping support in an already constrained market is bad for the custom ROM community. I predict that in a few years, when the Pixels will gain close to 100% of the efforts of the custom ROM community, they will lock their bootloader too, rendering the entire community useless.

        Yup. I recently got an older Xperia model for hardware reasons, but software… they’re another 2-year update brand
