Use smartphone to play music,it will not a good audio effects as well as the iPod.and the bettarry life is the most serious problem on smartphone.
My phone is the Htc Rezound. And I am wondering if that would be better or worse than an iPod classic. My phones has beats audio built in, which means for playing music through headphones or earbuds, I can turn beats on and it amplifies the bass and stuff. Would the iPod still be better than that? The iPod would be able to hold more songs, and play my music for longer, and it would save lots of battery life on my phone if I had an iPod.
