I don't want it to try to sell me music or advertise things to me. I want the device interface to have a list option, instead of just thumbnail tiles.Ĥ. (If I have to plug it into my computer and work with a desktop app, that is fine or even preferable.)ģ. I want to be able to remove and add music easily, by song, album, or artist.
