If they brought an iPod back with spotify and apple music I would definitely buy it Anyways great execution and loved how seamless it works really cool project
Now that you mention it, I REALLY want a piece of hardware like this..!

I still have my original iPods. The original and the mini chromatic ones. When I'm on the go and or in a gym and I need to play music, nothing beats a simple mp3 player. Don't want the bulk of the phone. Don't want to have to touch a phone screen and engage with it. I'd rather just reach into my pocket and press buttons.
Airpods + iPhone/Apple Watch. No wires, nothing to put in your pockets when you're lifting and running. Who loads an MP3 player?

I think I've got one somewhere. Weirdest thing about it was the cable, it used a USB 2 (4 pins) to TRRS cable for syncing with the computer.

Right, wearing an Apple Watch + AirPods is the modern iPod experience to me. I can leave my house without a smartphone and take a stroll or bike ride or skateboard etc with music. The Apple Watch crown provides that tactile feel missing from smartphones. I like how easy it is to turn up the volume by quickly rotating the crown up or down.
Do you have to have the watch with LTE, or does it actually cache music locally?

I think smartwatches fill that niche now - at least those models with physical buttons. I'm actually impressed by how ergonomic the music listening experience on my Garmin is.
I don’t like wearing a watch So for me the MP3 player is still great

It can cache music locally – it does some guessing as to what you want by default, but you can also sync specific playlists. Current models have 32gB of storage.

I have to admit, this was first time I've considered trialing Apple Music after being a longtime Spotify customer. Lack of browser support in a Spotify Web API providing free advertising for Apple Music. The irony!
What's the big deal? Just install our App. It's soooo much better in all the data we can take from you, er provide you.
With music downloads peaking in 2012, I'm still clinging to audio files myself and will still buy albums on Bandcamp.
