I've been looking for a portable media player so I can take my music and video collection on the go, but since everyone does that with their phones these days I can't seem to find anything that suits my needs. Speaking of which, there is the inevitable question of "why not just put all of that on your phone?".
For me, this is impractical for several reasons - namely my phone's flaky headphone jack, the fact that I find touch-based interfaces to be clunky for this sort of thing (I'd prefer to have actual physical buttons), and of course, sound quality is just better with a standalone media player.
Contemplated a 6th gen iPod classic, but those only support up to 480P resolution video playback and many of my files are in 720P. Beyond that, it's either the cheap plastic crap from Amazon or $300+ for something from a premium brand like Astell & Kern with seemingly no inbetween.
Anyone have any suggestions?
