so i use a modded iPod for music (256GB, about 17,000 songs) because i haven't found a streaming service i like or that has all the artists i already have on the iPod. plus i like that the head unit recognizes it and can navigate it natively.

has anyone else found any other digital audio players that work as well as an iPod?
