Or you could just buy a CD/DVD player or audio file player and have the same ad-free experience but with modern signal quality and for a fraction of the cost. Heck a saved library on a laptop running some kind of audio player like WinAMP and disconnected from the internet would also give you that experience. Could even use Windows XP or a classic Linux for that nostalgia since it wouldn't be internet connected.

    I also have that set-up. Which is likely why there is something to enjoy from a purely analog sound system: I enjoy how the technology works, which isn't necessarily a sound quality experience.

    I’m with ya. I watched Arachnophobia on VHS the other day, just because.

    It looked like shit, sounded like shit, but the VHS nostalgia was worth it.

    It also made appreciate the hell out of Dune 2 in 4K… sometimes old tech reminds me how good current tech is.

    Just download SoulSeek and download your songs in .flac. You literally only have to do it once and keep them forever.

    What you are looking for here is something from the OG iPod line. There are some guides out there on how to build something similar with a raspberry pi.
