I'm going away to a youth camp soon, and I would like to bring some music with me. I need help picking a music player because I don't know much about them. i need it to have good sound quality and a long battery life. I also don't want a big screen on it because people will mistake it for a phone. I have a budget of $150. I don't mind if I go over, though. I would appreciate any recommendations you could give me. :)

Hello! I am looking for an moderately priced MP3 player that has an SD slot so I can listen to music. I've seen some recommendations for models but they don't seem to be available on Amazon.in :( The product doesn't need to be fancy, just portable. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Preferably one with physical buttons to skip/pause (Physical volume buttons would be nice by not a necessity)

Bluetooth

Looking for relatively cheap options no more than $60

By that i mean something that looks like a 2000's mp3 player but that doesnt sound like an old mp3 player, not a modern dap with a huge screen, but something that Looks old but isnt old

Im looking for a good portable music player, im so tired of paying subscriptions so i wanted to try and get a portable music player but i don’t know which one it’s the best

I am looking for a portable music system. In the past, I have used the iPod Classic but even the newest model was always buggy. Ultimately stopped using because it was not compatible with my newer car (even though it offers USB and AUX). Have been using my smartphone, but I’d rather not need to take it everywhere. Are there any modern MP3 players or other portable music options that are worth it?

Hello, I have been sick of using spotify for a while. Are there any mp3 players that have good storage, physical buttons, good audio and an ability to run last fm on? (first two arent as important but good audio and last fm are essential for me) I want specifically a mp3 player because if i am on my phone i will eventually be distracted by other apps, so getting an mp3 will eliminate the distractions.

I know. It not the 2000s anymore but I want to experience the 2000s experience with a mp3 players

What's the best MP3 player on the market? I want to get one because I want to just download a bunch of music instead of watching youtube videos to listen to music.

EDIT: I am super thankful for all of the help so far but you all have missed one key requirement. IT CANNOT HAVE ANY INTERNET CONNECTION AT ALL. It cant connect with cellular or wifi. Bluetooth is allowed but that is it

Hey guys first off sorry if this isn't the right sub for this! This is copied from my post over on r/BudgetAudiophile and I was directed here! And I did look for a wiki or buying guide but didn't see one so if you guys do have one just link me to it and I can read through that!

I recently got a new job that I am very very very excited for. I am unfortunately not able to share too many details but the relevant part for this post is that I am not allowed to carry my phone (or any personal devices with internet) while I am working. I am allowed to use music and the guys here suggested I get a MP3 player to use while I am at work.

I dragged out my old 4th gen iPod nano and have been using that, but because its pretty old (its 18 years old now!) and beat up well loved, I think its time to finally put it out to pasture and find a replacement. Here are the things I am looking for:

• Bluetooth support

• High quality DAC

• Expandable storage, this is an optional thing. It would be nice but Ive only got ~5000 songs so most of them should be able to hold that

• Small, I like how my iPod fits in my pocket without me noticing it. I don't want one of these phone sized players.

Here are some ideas I have from doing some reading over the last few days:

• Upgrade my iPod - You can get a new battery and larger storage in it pretty easy these days. But it is still getting old and doesn't support bluetooth or higher resistance headphones

• Cheapo player from Amazon - These are cheap and support Bluetooth, but I kinda want to get a nice one with a nice DAC and build quality

• This AGPTEK player gets recommended a lot.

But none of these are "new" players, I haven't found any that seem to still be manufactured. I knew the market was going to be small but is it just completely dead?

I'm not sure if some sound better than others, but if they do, which ones?

Since Apple has unfortunately moved long past the ipod, Im still wanting that classic ipod classic feel but am not sure which to get and the choices seem both overwhelming but also lacking at the same time.

I know this thread is mostly Apple-engaged individuals but I’m sure there’s some of y’all in here that are in the know

I recently purchased the FiiO X3II MP3 player, as it looked nice and had some great reviews (and a decent price). However upon arrival and set up, I found that the software on it is TERRIBLE. You can't even list songs by their ID3 tags! The hardware itself is very nice looking and solid feeling, but they just don't have the software to back it up (and don't seem to be striving to fix it either).

I'm looking to send my X3II back to Amazon, but I'd like to find a replacement player in the same price range.

I previously owned a Sansa Clip+ and while it was a nice device, I felt it was a bit "clunky". It would be nice to be able to control my music from any of the menus as you can with the original iPod devices, instead of having to return to the "Now Playing" screen to change tracks or play/pause the current song. Another issue I had with the Clip+ was adding music to it; it took forever to update the library (30+ minutes) whenever I removed and re-inserted the SD or added/removed any songs from the SD.

I've seen the Sony NWZ-A15 which looks nice, but I was wondering if anyone knew of anything similar?

I'm not all that bothered about it having amazingly high quality audio, as most of my songs are in 320kbps MP3 (although I do have a few albums in FLAC). I'd also like it to have an SD card, as well as a nice interface (unlike the X3II).

This isn't really a strict requirement but it would be nice to have the flexibility of Rockbox on the device too, which pretty much removes every new MP3 player from the pool of viability :(

It's starting to sound more and more like I'd be better off with one of the old iPods, but I'd like something "new" so to speak.

TL; DR: Looking for an MP3 player that has the following:

• Nice / Fast / Easy to use UI

• Expandable storage through microSD

• Doesn't try to do everything (i.e. they haven't tried to pack it with features and neglected them)

• Sub-£200 price tag (preferably)

• Supports MP3, FLAC, M4A, WAV, etc (could be done through Rockbox)

I've been wanting a mp3 player for a long while now, but I want to be able to choose a good one. I found this one on Amazon, I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts about this one? (Sorry if it's blurry, I took it on my computer)

I've read the reviews, but I'm still a bit skeptical. If anyone has one, how long has it lasted you? I want one that lasts long if possible.

I thought portable players had become extinct, but then I noticed in this review of a pair of professional headphones that the guy had tested the headphones using a portable player. Being an average music listener using my phone with Bluetooth headphones/buds, I'm wondering if there's any meaningful advantage to using portable music players like Astell&Kern or FiiO. Does the wired connection deliver tangibly better music quality?

Hey I’m new to this space so sorry if I’m asking for too much. But I am looking to get a mp3 player, nothing like an iPod touch (hate touchscreen for stuff like this). Something preferably affordable? I’d say my range is up to $100. Preferably a player that has Bluetooth. Not super big, can fit in your pocket. Be able to transfer over stuff from pc/spotify account. If there’s any more criteria I need lmk! Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

I've started looking for an MP3 player that's affordable (around $60 USD or less - preferably less, the cheaper the better) because I'd like to listen to music without internet or ads. I've found a few on Amazon but some of them have reviews of not getting what was advertised or terrible customer service, and I'd like some extra input before I buy anything.

If anyone knows one that works well and has

- Bluetooth and wired connection

- able to create playlists and shuffle

- be able to skip songs

- decent audio quality and storage

- preferably on Amazon

- decent battery life

I'd really really appreciate it, please let me know!! <3

I want to watch/listen to youtube videos but i cant because the youtube app is too distracting.

So i got the idea to just buy a modern mp3 player that has an internal speaker, and bluetooth connectivity, and a long battery, a screen, and real buttons.

This way, I could just download a video, and then watch it with no distractions! And bring it to the gym!

The only issue is that most of them out there are just full screens, no physicaly buttons, which defys the whole point its like another phone bruh

What should i buy

thx. hopefully with the best sound quality

budget is infinite idc
