I'm 36 and I actually never stopped using standalone music players. I either always has an iPod, or a zen micro, or some sort of mp3 player. After a while I started getting in to "hi res players ". Like fiio hiby etc... every now and then I'll use trial sessions for tidal, Deezer or quboz. But I still buy CDs from thrift shops and just rip them to wav or flac or aiff and upload them. I still go back to ipods now and then. The 5.5 is said the be the best sounding iPod because of its wolfson DAC but I don't hear much of a difference between the 5 and 5.5...either one is good tbh
