I guess i just miss having a walkman mode, where all it did was play music. If I could turn on a walkman mode on my phone, I sometimes would definitely do that.

Turn on do-not-disturb and you don't get notifications or calls. It's not a true walkman mode but it turns off some distractions.

A good suggestion. The harder problem is actually me. Oh, imma skip this song I don’t like it. Maybe they have a new album out, I’ll just quickly check. Hmm, what’s the weather tomorrow. Etc.

In dire straits you can still buy an MP3 player. Alternatively, you'll probably have all these problems still, so if you need to work on not getting distracted there's nothing else for it.

It’s not exactly a Walkman, but I’ve recently gotten into looking at the Innioasis Y1 MP3. I asked for one for Christmas, as you can put Rockbox on it just like an iPod. That, to me, is so fucking cool!
