Music Player (slrpnk.net)

I'm looking for a BIFL (or at least last me for a while) music player that can play .wav files, has a lot of storage, is portable, and the parts are able to be replaced/upgraded. I've heard about using iPod classics but it seems like they're unable to play .wav files. Any reccomendations?

Why wav, out of curiosity?

I assume they want full quality audio but don't know that flac exists

I once had a debate with my audiophile uncle about how lossless compression results in identical inputs to the DAC, but he clung to the illusory superiority of WAV.

"okay. all i hear is words. i know the WAVs work and i like how they sound. can you please just make the WAVs work?"

Nah, I'm aware of flac, but I've had issues with compatibility that I don't have with wav files.

What type of issues? Did you get error messages?

[-] countrypunk@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 days ago

Lotta times in file players it'll say unregonized file type

[-] dan@upvote.au 7 points 3 days ago

Which players? FLAC has been around for over 20 years, so players that don't recognize it probably need to be updated :D

Apple music, Protools, Logic (although those two are DAWs), VLC
