Sure.

- I can control it completely without looking at a screen.

- It's easier to put my mp3s on there than it is to do that on a phone.

- The battery lasts a lot longer than a phone

- It has a headphone jack

- No crappy software needed, it's just a USB drive as far as my computer is concerned.

I understand that apple device users live in their special world. But every android phone does this.

Does it? I have an android phone, but it's obviously been so long since I tried to put music on it I can't remember.

You plug it in and copy what you want.

It does, albeit in a shittier way than the dedicated players do. Instead of presenting itself as a removable drive, it uses the MTP protocol. Slower UX and but mostly similar to handling normal files.
