Yeah. Your phone.
Some people are actively trying to pull out of using their phones for everything. A phone is a phone, its for communicating. If you have a smartphone, sure use it as a PDA. It isn't for anything else and won't offer the best experience without concessions, nowadays those concessions often being privacy.
If you're carrying a smartphone on you at all you're already getting all the privacy negatives. I don't see how playing MP3s through VLC is making that any worse.
My P10P XL has no micro SD slot, and no 3.5mm jack. Plus I don't want to lug it around when I'm out walking etc.
