Been thinking about this too, how good are they these days?

As we're not in the era of limewire I wonder how easy it is to use, and what the audio quality is like on dedicated MP3 players.

A lot of them seem to lack the features of older MP3 players (like queuing the next song or creating playlists) so I got one with android (Hiby M300) and just disabled the play store and browser. Getting music on it is as easy as the players I had in the past, just plug it into a computer and copy over files in the file explorer. The sound quality ranges from decent to incredible as the market has more focus on audiophiles these days. The real problem is that a lot of them are way too big and have poor battery life because of the integrated amps.
