Suggestions on portable devices to play music only...

[kap'n krunch]

Hello QQ brethren...
My sis in law is asking me bout this; I have 2 old ipods that can't be tinkered with anymore (or ARE THEY?) and she wants a portable device to listen to music...
ANY SUGGESTIONS????

For what it's worth, I just use my Android phone running a player called JetAudio+. Works great on its own but also interfaces nicely with Android Auto in the car. But if she's in the Apple universe, that may not help her.

I agree with @atrocity...

Old Android phones with microSD card slots are pretty good for listening to music. Plus you don't need iTunes to transfer audio files to them

And if you're a fellow fan of the LMS system, an old Android phone with the appropriate software player makes a fantastic wireless Walkman for playing music from the server.

When I travel for work thats what I use, apart from the music I also have all the old "The Navy Lark" BBC radio comedy series, relieves the boredom on the plane!

The File Browser app can transfer audio files from another device on your network to an iphone.

My audio tools for travel / pool / what-not include combinations of these:
iPad, iPhone. Klipsch Bluetooth speaker, Sony Bluetooth headphones

iPad + Klipsch speaker for pool (iTunes library 1100+ songs for random)
iPhone + Klipsch for my old bands archive (on Soundcloud) from BBQ grille
iPhone - Sony headphones for travel with specific albums and Apple podcasts
iPhone + Aux in vehicles for podcasts or my own stuff
