Plex still relies on an internet connection and limited phone storage though. iPods are just there, waiting for music to be put on them, music that you can still listen to even if your internet shits out.

Can't you use Plex entirely locally, other than the authentication?

limited phone storage though

Do you mean that Plexamp limits how much you can download?

No, I mean the phone’s storage limits how much you can download. If you’ve only got 64gb, then that’s your lot. With the more recent iPods (5G Classic onwards) you can easily drop a 512gb SD card in. I’ve seen 1tb done, but don’t know how stable that is.

Oh yeah, that's true. I forgot that modern phones don't have MicroSD card slots... why did they remove those??

Because money.
