This thing is amazing! I barely used my phone at all in the morning and all through the afternoon as I went about my business. I got sucked in for the evening onwards, but baby steps.
… I’ll need to download more music, and get a bigger SD card. I’ve already played and replayed every single one of them I had loaded onto my Echo Mini these past 2 days.
How does it deal with scrolling through large music collections? I bought a Fiio X1 years ago, only to find that the scroll wheel did not accelerate, meaning that if I put my entire collection on it, I’d be scrolling for many minutes to get to anything in the middle of the alphabet. I switched to a second-hand iPod after that.
Press once. Scroll by one song once. Don’t, err, browse by all songs if you have a decent collection.
I see. So it’s only for “normal users”, who might have two dozen albums at most?
Hmm, I guess I’m a “normal user” then. I’m looking to be more intentional with my music consumption after all, else something with the ability to stream music would’ve been a better deal otherwise.
Besides, just browse by artist or genre. The Mini would happily organize your music into genres>artists>albums anyway. Unless you have literally hundreds of albums, it shouldn’t be too big of a hassle I feel.
