I know i could leave it stock, but i wanted to remove features it will not need, and have something that can use bluetooth speaker to play music, and i dont have to worry about it being stolen or damaged.

Streaming is not an option for me, first because i oft work either underground or in places with so bad reception that the battery goes down fast.

Shelling out 400€ for FiiO would be nice, but then i would not leave my shiny fiio lying around on construction sites. I would use my fiio m5, but for some reason it stopped seeing bluetooth devices and cannot pair at all ( updated to the latest possible fw, nothing helps )

Any other ideas ?

If you have any music on your computer, an old clickwheel iPod is the way to go

Do they need itunes to tranfer music or its like on fiio - aka plug the cable, copy stuff with totalcommander if you like

I use iTunes. There might be other ways to load music, but I’m not sure how to go about it
