For context: I have been using an iPod classic for the past 12 years. For numerous reasons, I never made the switch to streaming/Spotify. And I don't intend to make the switch anytime soon.Unfortunately, my iPod classic started having a difficult time connecting to my computer for file transfers, so I began looking into the modern world of mp3 players (or DAPs).Here are the features I was looking for:1. Tactile buttons (touchscreen devices using android just look and feel like tiny smart phones)2. Bluetooth capabilities (the biggest upgrade from an iPod classic)3. The ability to create and save custom playlists4. Good battery life5. At least 128gb storage6. Budget: Under $150At first look, the Innioasis Y1 seemed to check all those boxes, so I pulled the trigger and (due to the low price) purchased TWO: one for me AND one for my wife and son to share.After owning the devices for several weeks, I think I'm ready to post a balanced review of the Y1, as opposed to the numerous "Vine Customer Review of Free Product." I mean, yeah, if I got this device for free, I'd easily give it an extra star or two!PROS* Aesthetics - These things look almost exactly like an iPod classic. I bought the dark grey and the yellow. Man, the yellow looks COOL! I get the dark grey one confused for my actual iPod sometimes. However, because they are plastic, the Y1 is much lighter than an iPod. This is actually a positive in my opinion...* Bluetooth - The bluetooth works flawlessly. I was able to connect it to my car, headphones, and stereo receiver. All sounded amazing. When connected to headphones, I had to turn the volume up on the device and the volume down on my headphones to prevent the signal from disconnecting.* Built-in speaker. I wasn't expecting to like or even use this, but it's great... I mean, it sounds like the tinny speakers you hear at the supermarket or mall, while shopping. What a vibe!!! I've used the built-in speaker when I don't want the music to be overpowering. It's excellent to use when working or writing or when creating playlists and browsing the collection you have on your Y1.* Audiobooks - I love how I can put any mp3 into the audiobooks folder and the device will remember the progress on each track. This works great for audiobooks, of course, but it also works well for "Full Album" mp3s that aren't separated into individual tracks.* Battery Life - The battery life is good, though it drains a bit quicker when using Bluetooth. Overall, it's not a big deal because of how easy it is to charge with a USB-C cable.* FM Radio - I thought this was kind of a gimmick, but it's actually pretty cool to listen to local radio on the mp3 player. Unfortunately, you have to have a wired headphone plugged into the 3.5mm jack for this feature to work.* Custom Backgrounds - I love using album art to create a custom background (or theme) for my browsing experience. This is an excellent feature!NEUTRAL* Storage - 128G of storage is decent. I've added most of my music collection on my Y1, and I've used 115G of storage so far. A micro SD option up to 256G would have been amazing, but possibly too much to ask for at this price point.CONS* Navigation - Unlike an iPod, when you click on a particular artist -- let's say "The Beatles" -- you won't be taken to a subfolder containing all of the albums you have by The Beatles. Instead, you'll see every single Beatles song on your Y1, organized by track number. So you'll listen to track 1 from multiple albums before you hear track 2 from any of them. Seems like a simple thing to fix this problem, and I really wish they would. A firmware update would be great to solve this problem. Before that happens, there are two workarounds... First, you could browse your music folders and open the album directly from the folder where it's stored. Second, if you remember the album title, you can search for album titles and open the album through the search feature.* Navigation Pt. 2 - If you have a large collection of music, as I do, you will be spinning your click wheel like a madman to find artists/albums in the middle of the alphabet. The iPod classic was much more responsive to quick scrolling and would skip entire letters if you were trying to get from "A" to "S" for example, it took about 2 or 3 seconds. Here, it's going to take 20 to 30 seconds. This is a huge letdown. The search function will be your friend, but that brings me to my next point...* Search Function - The search only searches for track titles and album names. So, unless the artist name is part of the track name or album name, you can't actually search for artists. Think about that for a second... You can't search for artists in the search function on an mp3 player in 2024! Absolutely insane.* Playlists - There is a playlist feature, and it works. You add tracks to your playlists on the device itself (as opposed to in iTunes). This would be fine, but you can't actually choose the order of the tracks in the playlist. They are sorted by track # and alphabetically. So, it's not really a "playlist" in the traditional sense of the word. Instead, this is a good feature for just adding some of your favorite albums and putting the device on "shuffle" mode to play those albums in a random order.So, yeah. It's good, but it could have been amazing. In fact, with a little tweaking, I think it could be the perfect mp3 player for a new generation of listeners.EDIT: My wife and son love the Y1, and my wife said it wasn't fair to compare the device directly to the iPod Classic, since this one is about a 1/3 of the price, so I gave an extra star. In fact, the more I use it, the more I like it... Now, I really hope they make the pink color available. THAT would be super cool!
