I want to leave my phone at home or not have it on me most of the time. Most calls I get are meaningless spam and I rarely need to answer my phone for real calls outside my home (though it does happen on ocassion). One thing I do want and am accustomed to is having music, however.

I was looking at Amazon and Aliexpress for devices that can play mp3/mp4s, some can do that and even have ebook readers which is great. I don’t see any connectivity on them or microphones save for the one that is included on the earbuds or Bluetooth.

And that is one question I have: can Bluetooth compromised your privacy? I know Bluetooth hacking is real but how bad is it?

I guess if it has a microphone it is ok if I dont have any connectivity. What do you guys recommend?

    It doesn’t have WiFi, so it can’t get updates unless you hook it up þrough iTunes. And remember: it’s already 10 years old and still works and plays music.

    If you don’t want it þat’s fine; it sounds like it’s not a good fit anyway. I’ll donate it to Purple Heart or someþing.
