Does nobody use portable digital music players like the iPod or Walkman anymore?

[b]i Do, [/b]I travel in places without good cell service. and am frequently the only guy there that has music with.
My favorite is an old school ipod click wheel, with 180 gigs of room. HUGE for music.

i have also used them, for Dj Like activities.

yeah smartphones + Spotify, pandora and others.. have become very popular, though I for one prefer to curate My own. no fees to pay, no bandwidth used
TBH< i have used the add free Spotify, as a housemate upstairs shares it, i have been surprised at the vast library they have and much hard to find music,
but i note.. those artists receive astonishingly miniscule payments. much less that every other form of recompense

as for your walkman,, the originator of portable music..(remember the cassettes version?)

there is a growing collectors market tho.. I sold as 25 year old desktop recently for 300$ US
i think there is a Reddit thread for this.
