Anyone know a good modern day MP3 player?

Please, don't go out without a phone. You never know when you will need it to call the police or an ambulance for example
(Ignore the example if in the US)
You can't be serious. You don't need a phone to go outside.

I want to get less reliant on my phone and go out more without it. One of the big use cases for my phone is music.
I have a lot of local music files and I would like to transfer them to a mp3 player. I would prefer something offline that I can drag files too. Also Bluetooth would be a plus so I can continue to use my earbuds.
Something easy to navigate would be ideal too. Basically like what iPods were like with a small screen where you can navigate easily and see album artwork.
I don't know how much you're willing to spend but elite obsolete has refurbished pods with increased battery life and storage or with microSD cards. Along with selling parts and tools to upgrade them yourself if you have an old one sitting around.
I haven't bought from them myself but it's worth giving them a look.

I used to appreciate the slightly nicer dac I'm my lg v20. They are very old at this point. I used to pair it with mdr-v6 headphones.

I had one and I also really loved the way it sounded.

How about a Tangara?

Get an iPod.....or your phone and just don't use it for anything other than music.....

I rather have the pocket phone + video recorder multitool because I might need to record evidence if I'm being targeted for a hate crime. If I'm gonna die, the world needs to know who killed me.

Statistically you're more likely to kill a white person than one of them kill you btw.
I agree with the rest though - why wouldn't you just carry your phone? It has a bunch of useful features that you never know when you'll need. One of them is even to play music like OP wants!

SanDisk Clip Sport Go! 32GB memory, very small and great for training because of the clip. It has a microSD slot if you need more memory.

Having a device able to call emergency services sounds like a pretty important thing to me

I mean, if money is no issue...
But they also have cheaper options, including a wearable player if you want absolute minimalism.

Yeah, FiiO players are great.

People and phones are everywhere.
Safetyism is very flawed thinking.
-
People managed without seatbelts for a lot of time, this doesn't mean that they aren't necessary
Very poor analogy.

Just get an old phone that doesn't have a SIM in it, uninstall any apps you don't want want that could be used locally, forget your wifi networks, load it up with music via usb, connect it to your Bluetooth headphones and go.
And if you use the Universal debloater, you can kill almost anything.
Get the Universal Android Debloat Utility, it's pretty good at letting you know what can be disabled.

Very poor analogy.
Care to elaborate ?

People [..] are everywhere.
That's why you need a phone, in case those people are ill-intentioned

Fiio makes good stuff. I have one of their monster ones, the M15S, and it works great. Don't get that exact one, though, they have MUCH more affordable and portable ones.

Its kind of nice to have but I would never think I need to have it. If I am going to the beach or downtown and just want to be in the moment putting these things away is very nice to do. People are way to tied to them. It is not a necessity.
By your logic we all should get those devices that you wear so it can auto call if you fall down. Sorry I am not going to be tied to technology, and least not to the point where I can't just go out in the world without it.

It's more like a "if I already have one, why not throw it in my handbag just in case", since if that the 1 time out of 1000000 that I'll need it, having a phone with me might save my life.
I don't have a phone addiction so bringing it with me won't cause any issue

Apparently called "Digital Audio Players" nowadays:
They've always been called DAPs by technical people and audiophiles. PMPs have gone the way of the dodo too thanks to the modern smartphone. They were basically DAPs with a larger screen for consuming video content.
I think the full circle comeback to these dedicated devices has to do with the removal of the headphone jack, and the poor DACs in the USB-C dongles. That and slow pushback against the subscription model and a return to simpler times where you controlled your media. I for one have very fond memories of my PMP.
