Yes friend, we are one in the same. I still have the last gen iPod I use in my car. It has Bluetooth and I still even use the 3.5mm audio jack instead. I’m old and hate most new music coming out anyway. And if I do want to check something out I still preview it on Apple Music. If nothing else it’s an entirely private and secure way to consume music.

I salute your commitment to the audio jack. I no longer have that luxury, but it is what it is, and I love my phone despite that glaring flaw. Wish it had an FM receiver too, but oh well.

Amen to that. I've got my weird guilty pleasures that I go to occasionally and there's no reason anyone else needs to know why I listen to a couple of specific dubstep songs as often as I do. If that theoretical information ever got leaked, would it even matter? Probably not, but I'm able to enjoy the music more if I can listen in my own world with no strings attached.

This is one of the biggest things I've enjoyed since I ditched spotify and started building up my own library again. It feels way more personal somehow.

Had a first Gen ipod permanently in my car from 2011 to just last year. Only took it out because head unit died and I put the factory one back in. iPod still works

The head unit in my car is so old it still has a dedicated 30 pin iPod cable that you're meant to run out to your glovebox. I don't do that, though. It has an SD card slot (full size) and also a USB port. And it still has a physical volume knob, too. I just chunk a flash drive into it.
