By the time I got an Mp3 player like this, the second generation iPod released soon after. ๐ฌ
It's better than ipad anyway. You just stick it in to load music onto it, you don't need iTunes or a cable, and it's nore compact too. I miss those simple devices.
You can still buy 'em on AliExpress for example (I got the RUIZU MP3 player without a screen for 20โฌ). If you are a sound nerd or hifi enthusiast you can get one that connects to a Bluetooth DAC (like the fiio for example) for super sound.
It's kind of quiet in a way to just push play and knowing exactly what you'll get (no hiccups, no commercials, no "you maybe'll like this new song Spotify stuff"...).
