Dang, I thought he had built his own hardware.

I'd still love to get a proper successor to the Sandisk Sansa Fuze, just with USB-C charging instead of its proprietary charging cable.

There's plenty of "luxury" /audiophile MP3 players out there which cost in the hundreds of dollars, but that one was in the sweet spot of bang-for-your-buck music player that I could just use for listening to music on long plane rides etc. without draining my smartphone battery.

I wonder if you could get an iPod Classic and upgrade the storage/replace the battery...

There is a whole modding community around the iPod video/classic.

You can replace the hard drive with MicroSD/SD or compact flash cards.

You can buy different color faceplates/backplates, upgrade the batteries, etc.
