Q. I read your recent article about playing iTunes music without an iPod. I am in a similar situation but want something more mobile. Would buying an iPhone SE with enough storage capacity to fit my needs be a good idea? I would not get phone service, but just use it as my iPod. I have around 55 GB of music.

A. This is indeed a good idea and since that column ran several readers have written suggesting using an old iPhone as an iPod touch. Just take the old iPhone and remove the SIM card, turn off cellular and turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and you have an iPod touch equivalent. In your case you will need at least 64 GB of memory, and 128 GB would be an even better choice since it will give you room to grow. I also suggest buying as late a model of an iPhone as your budget allows to ensure that Apple will not cease supporting it in the near future.
