Thoughts on music

yarnandglueI posted a little over a month ago about getting an Innioasis Y1 MP3 player. (Yes, technically DAP/PMP would be a better term as it doesn't just support MP3s but I feel like MP3 player is a more widely understood term.) I just wanted to post a little update on how that's going :)
First of all, this is the theme I currently have installed. I also really like MonsterVision. :)
I have purchased a larger microSD card but have struggled to open the dang case to replace the old one. That's fine for now. I haven't gotten anywhere close to hitting the storage limit but scrolling can be kind of slow. Eventually I'll revisit this :P
I use Easy Audio Copy to rip CDs. As it says on the tin, it is very easy.
yt-dlp is good for...other things...but has kind of a steep learning curve.
But most of all, I'm really delighted at how my relationship with music has changed. It takes a lot more work to get new music on the device. But instead of that scaring me off, I've found a lot of joy in putting energy into my music consumption. I've suddenly remembered a bunch of artists/songs I haven't listened to in years. It's inspired me to look for more live versions/unreleased songs by artists I really enjoy. I feel like listening to music is a much more active task, rather than just something that I put on in the background. It's been a very cool experience. I haven't felt this interested in music since I was a teenager.
