Anyone know a good modern day MP3 player?

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.
The phone in your pocket with an SD card and Omnia 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)
I managed without a phone when I was 8, I can manage now. I often go out without it.

FiiO make a pretty nice line of digital audio players.
FiiO makes some pretty good stuff. I love my BTR5 to use with some of my wired headphones. I recently bought an Echo Mini cause I liked the retro look and wanted something dead simple to just play music and it's just ok. No support for playlists which is interesting. It also has a hard limit of around 8000 songs. Their android based stuff seems popular though.

You could most definitely buy some old thing. You could legit buy an iPod, actually, in the 2nd hand market.
Why go modern, when the old stuff is good enough?
If you're on a Mac, I think ipods are still recognized and you can use their software to sync and manage music. You can only sync over music you own so no apple music obviously.

I second this. Get an iPod Classic on eBay or local marketplace. Go heavy on the storage. It works perfectly!
Heck, my teenie tiny iPod Shuffle 3rd gen still works and I have no idea how!
Just keep in mind you can run into issues with some of the highest capacity cards. There are limits to how much music an ipod can handle depending on the generation which aren't immediately obvious. Dankpods mentioned it in one of his older videos.

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.

I saw someone recommend a Innioasis Y1 earlier today, I noted it as something I want to look at.

People managed without seatbelts for a lot of time, this doesn't mean that they aren't necessary

wrote last edited by [email protected]Very cheap phone, disassemble, remove all radio antennnas. Voila! Untrackable pocket computer (and also as a MP3 player).
If in the US, you can get carrier-locked prepaid phones for like $20 USD, you don't need service to get pass the set up (except for Verizon ones apparantly, even tho their MVNOs work fine).

You can't be serious. You don't need a phone to go outside.

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.....

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.
